How we are Structured

A Flat Structure:
At Marico, we are an organisation, which is flat with only five levels of reporting between the Managing Director and an operator on the shop floor.

We believe that a flat structure helps us in being more responsive to the environment while providing enriched roles for our members. Our structure defines clear roles and supporting relationships but is by no means rigid. Keeping in mind the fast and ever changing business environs, Marico's structure is dynamic and constantly evolving.

Profit Centers:

Marico has always been a growth oriented organisation- we have been one of those few who can claim a double digit CAGR in both Turnover and Profits over the past 6 years. The past two years particularly have seen acceleration in growth, leading to the Group being close to achieving a turnover of Rs. 1500 crore during the current financial year, with a commensurate bottom-line. This sets us up for an even more accelerated journey towards our stated target of Rs. 2000 crore by 2008-09.

Recently Marico undertook a Organisational Restructuring exercise which resulted in the Marico Group business organisation being restructured into three Strategic Business Units (SBUs) - Consumer Products Business (Personal & Nature Care and Wellness & New Products), Kaya Business (Kaya Skin clinics and Kaya Life) and the International Business (which comprises the International FMCG Business and the Sundari Business).

The leadership in charge of various SBUs and Functional Units are:

Finance:
The company is strongly supported by the Finance Division, which handles the legal, treasury, tax, control systems and management information support. Additionally, every profit center has its own dedicated finance cell.

HR:
Equal support comes from our HRD team, which expends its energies, formulating and building strategies to build a stable and high - talent organisation.

The innovations and the quest for excellence at Marico continue unabated. Even as the success stories continue, the focus from the consumer never shifts.
