Business and strengths<\/h2>

The food business accounts for about 11% of sales, with Real juice drinks as the mainstay. Healthcare foods (Chyawanprash, Honey) and digestive foods (PudinHara, Hajmola) hold a position of their own. Product development from natural sources that draws on Ayurvedic knowledge is the differentiator. Overseas operations account for about 25% of sales and are strong in the Middle East and Africa.<\/p>

Recent developments<\/h2>

In February 2026 the company reshuffled its management structure: Mohit Malhotra, long the CEO, became global CEO, and Herjit S. Bhalla, formerly of Hershey, took the role of CEO of the India business effective April 15, 2026. The aim is to raise execution at home while growing overseas. Consolidated revenue for FY2026 (fiscal year ended March 2026) was \u20b913,193 crore. In food and beverage, expanding the Real juice drink line is the main thrust.<\/p>

Points of contact and business opportunities for Japanese companies<\/h2>

Health foods built on Ayurveda is a field with almost no competitors in Japan, and Dabur is worth watching as a company to learn from on how functional claims are constructed and how ingredients are handled. Many of the materials it works with sit within the framework of India's traditional medicine, however, so handling them in Japan first requires checking against the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Act and food labeling rules.<\/p>
