Intro

Cadbury India can be termed as one of the best performing FMCG companiestoday. Unlike its peer group, which are more of complete foodcompanies.Cadbury is a very niche player with a dominant position in IndianChocolate Confectionery market. This makes it different & more successful incomparison with the peer companies. Now is the period of slowdown in theeconomy, where FMCG companies are the first ones to be hit upon. Reduction inthe real income of the consumer has made its direct impact on the top linegrowth of the company. Still, Cadbury has been able to drive its bottomlinegrowth. The reason for the success is the Corporate Governance practised in theorganization.

Festival season sales (Cadbury sellsalmost 1,000 tonnes of chocolates during Diwali) plummeted 30 per cent. Untilthen, in the country's FMCG sector plagued by slow, low single digit top line andbottom- line growth, Cadbury was a sweet exception.

Now, a year later, Cadbury says that consumershave long forgotten the controversy and are back to their merry chocolate-chomping ways.
