Procter & Gamble has established a robust supplier network in India to support its local manufacturing and distribution operations. Indian suppliers provide various raw materials including herbal ingredients, packaging materials, and chemical components for P&G\“s popular products like Vicks, Gillette, and Whisper.
Local Indian suppliers are crucial for P&G\“s \“Make in India\“ initiative, helping the company source materials like neem, turmeric, and other traditional ingredients used in their Ayurvedic and herbal product lines. These suppliers must meet P&G\“s strict quality standards while maintaining competitive pricing.
Many Indian suppliers have formed long-term partnerships with P&G, providing specialized materials for products specifically designed for the Indian market. This includes suppliers of coconut oil for hair care products, traditional herbal extracts for skincare items, and local packaging materials that cater to Indian consumer preferences.
The supplier relationship extends beyond material provision to include collaborative innovation, where Indian suppliers contribute local knowledge about traditional ingredients and manufacturing techniques that help P&G develop products better suited to Indian consumers\“ needs and preferences. |
