Mumbai: Marico Limited, one of India’s foremost FMCG companies, has reaffirmed its leadership continuity with the re-appointment of Saugata Gupta as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer. The company’s Board of Directors approved the decision in a meeting held on May 2, 2025, extending Gupta’s term for two more years—from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2028. The re-appointment was formally communicated to the stock exchanges the same day.
Saugata Gupta, who joined Marico in 2004 as Head of Marketing, has played a pivotal role in the company’s growth trajectory. He was promoted to CEO of the India Business in 2007 and has been serving as MD & CEO of Marico since 2014. Under his stewardship, the company has achieved significant milestones, especially in strengthening its core brands, expanding its international footprint, and driving digital and product innovation.
The announcement comes on the heels of Marico’s robust Q4 and full-year FY25 performance, reflecting the company’s strong operational momentum. For Q4FY25, the company reported a 20% year-on-year increase in Revenue from Operations, reaching ₹2,730 crore. This was driven by 7% underlying volume growth in the India business and 16% constant currency growth in the international business.
For the full year FY25, Marico recorded Revenue from Operations of ₹10,831 crore, up 12% YoY. Notably, consolidated revenues crossed the ₹10,000 crore mark for the first time—a significant milestone for the company. The India business saw a 5% volume growth for the year, while international business maintained a strong 14% constant currency growth.
The company’s Foods and Premium Personal Care segments have also gained traction, achieving a combined annual revenue run rate (ARR) of ₹2,000 crore. Marico’s FY25 net profit rose 10% year-on-year, further underscoring its financial resilience and strategic execution.
With sustained performance across key categories and geographies, and Saugata Gupta continuing at the helm, Marico appears well-positioned for its next phase of growth.
