Marico's Q3 FY26 call focused on its strategic transformation into a digital-first consumer powerhouse, anchored by three recent acquisitions: 4700 BC (premium snacking), Cosmix (functional nutrition), and Candid (skincare in Vietnam). Management targets 3-3.5x revenue growth for these digital brands by FY30, aiming for a combined ₹4,000 crore top line.
