Commenting on the results, Ms. Prabha Narasimhan, Managing Director at Colgate-Palmolive (India) Limited, said, "The Company is focused on its key strategic pillars of building oral care habit in India, driving innovation and renovation through science-led products and premiumization. 
In this quarter, we have partnered with the Andhra Pradesh government to kick off the Oral Health awareness program of 'Bright Smiles Bright Futures'. This initiative was recently kickstarted from a school in the Nellore district, where the company will work with the state government to educate children on oral health and build awareness on saying 'No' to tobacco. 
Continuing with our long-standing relationship with dentists in India and with the ever-present push on digitization, Colgate has launched an e-commerce platform; a first that is exclusively for dentists - dentistfirst.co.in to enable them access to specialty Colgate products that will be directly delivered to their clinics. 
Although oral care consumption continued to be weighed down in the quarter by adverse macro factors, we are cautiously optimistic going forward. The focus remains to stay invested in our category & brand building activities on key strategic pillars while delivering healthy EBITDA margins. We continue to build positive momentum in driving premiumization across categories led by the modern trade and e-commerce channels."
