Hindustan Unilever (HUL) is expecting a couple of turbulent quarters going forward and the firm's objective would be to navigate it in the most agile manner. The company is also banking on the September quarter to get a better picture of the underlying demand, provided there are not many vertical lockdowns that are happening currently in different parts of the country.
A true picture of the inherent demand picking up would emerge when discretionary segments such as colour cosmetics, skin care and deodorants start finding traction, which would allude to the fact that supply led disruptions are over and places from where these items sell, like malls and modern trade stores are back in operations; and people are now starting to step out.
HUL is India's largest Fast-Moving Consumer Goods company with its products touching the lives of nine out of ten households in the country.
