Bombay Oil Industries Limited: Sound logic behind revamp of family business". India Today . Retrieved 17 May 2018. This fight went on for six long years. By this time Hindustan liver was rebranding itself to Hindustan Unilever. Marico was giving tough competition to them and was getting more and more market share and Nihar was not even near to them. Remember what Keki said, ‘Marico will be a history’ had no meaning now. In fact, Nihar was on the verge of becoming history.

to 94 – Marico goes from being an exporter to international marketer – sets up its first overseas office in Dubai. One in three Indians uses a Marico industries product today. Harsh Mariwala, Chairman of Marico, left the cozy cocoon of his oil trading family business at the age of forty to go on and start Marico in 1990. It is one of the largest, most successful players in the consumer products business. One out of every three Indians today uses a Marico product such asParachute, Saffola, Nihar,Kaya and Mediker. Marico acquires South Africa's leading hair styling business – Isoplus; [13] launches Saffola Active [12] Slimming Nutri-shake (marking entry into nutraceuticals category) and makes a strategic investment in Zed Lifestyle (Beardo) [14] There is this thing about HUL that it has thrived on takeovers & acquisitions, its popular brands such as Brooke Bond, Ponds, Kwality, and more were all results of mergers & acquisitions. What's interesting is, the biggest strength Keki had was also corporate acquisitions. (This Jodi was made in heaven)Where on the one hand Parachute had a 48% market share, Nihar Coconut oil had only 7%. So there it was, Marico’s Parachute came into the radar of Keki Dadiseth as he intended to acquire a company with maximum market share in the coconut hair oil market. And the war was about to break out. Game on Parachute comprised about 61% of Marico’s revenue. All eyes were on Parachute now, this product was the major target of Keki and for Harsh it was the one to be protected the most. Face-off Lever acquired a brand called Cococare to compete with them Marico acquired Oil of Malabar and relaunched it at a lower price. We decided to look into categories where MNCs (multi-national corporations) are not present. One category which we identified was hair oiling. Hair oiling only exists in limited parts, mainly India, neighboring countries and the Middle East. When I meet analysts and those who want to invest in our company, the first thing they ask is, “What is hair oiling?” and then they tell us that this is a dying sector – which is true. But I was very clear that this habit will not die down in India, and we decided to take a big bet on hair oiling. The overall competitive environment was less and our chances of success were much higher. That bet on hair oiling has really paid off. The hair oiling market still grows and we have done a lot of work on the benefits of hair oiling, and our findings are going to be leveraged in future.

Harsh Mariwala is the chairman and Saugata Gupta assumed the role of the managing director in March 2014 and is currently the MD and CEO of this organisation.

The year marks another innovation, Revive cold water starch makes starching cottons more convenient for the consumer. Saffola is essentially blended refined edible oil. It is marketed under the names of New Saffola, Tasty and Active. All of them contain blended vegetable oils in various ratios. The main type of oils which are blended include Rice bran oil, Kardi oil or Safflower oil, Corn oil and Soya oil. The brand which Lever chose to kill Parachute was becoming their liability. That was it! Harsh Mariwala’s Marico defeated the multinational Hindustan Lever.On the other hand, Hindustan Lever had an extensive sales & distribution network with the largest outlet reach among FMCG companies. Lever was huge in terms of reach and money.

The company expands with its first overseas manufacturing facility in Bangladesh. Marico acquires Mediker in the same year Kumar, Abhineet (28 May 2013). "The game changes for Marico". Business Standard India . Retrieved 17 March 2021. I think the biggest success of parachute is through innovations, and that happened in a category like coconut oil, where there are very limited opportunities for innovation. The campaign increased the market share of Parachute to 52%. By this time due to Levers efforts, Nihar also gained the market share which was doubled from 7% to 15%.Nihar became the product that was of no importance to HUL and they decided to sell it. And guess who came up to acquire it? Cancer from mineral oil". British Medical Journal. 4 (5681): 443–4. 1969. doi: 10.1136/bmj.4.5681.443. PMC 1630563. PMID 5354827.

Take a deep breath and think about your childhood, the memories of the first day of school, or the summer holidays, those silly fights with the siblings, and that bachpan ka ghar.
