		Sundari Products & Treatments

In Feb 2003, Marico acquired a controlling equity interest in Sundari LLC, the owner of the SUNDARI line of luxury Ayurvedic skin care products. This entry in the Global Ayurvedics segment represents Marico's first acquisition in a developed country and its entry into the skin care products market. Marico now holds 100% of the equity of Sundari LLC which it bought from Shantih LLC, which is owned by the founders of SUNDARI and a group of private investors. Sundari LLC has its headquarters in the city of New York.

Laurels Achieved

Marico will benefit from Sundari's knowledge of the luxury skin care consumer and the American market.
