Abstract

To maintain growth, a company must take certain growth strategies, either internal or external. This paper highlights some of the changes and growth strategies adopted by Dabur Limited to maintain its strong position in the FMCG sector since its 127 years of existence. Further, it focuses on the acquisition of Fem Pharmaceuticals by Dabur Ltd. in the year 2008 and its impact on the performance of the consolidated entity. The result shows that there has been a significant rise in share prices and also a positive effect on the Net Sales, operating profit, PAT and shareholders' Equity. The overall conclusion supports the fact that acquisitions, if made carefully and wisely, can lead to substantial growth of an organisation.
