Abstract

Unilever's Indian subsidiary, Hindustan Lever Limited (HLL) is the country's largest FMCG (fast moving consumer goods) company. It has brands spread across 20 distinct consumer categories. HLL holds a place of pride in the Unilever global system. In India, HLL is known for its tight management of working capital and the company has been operating with a negative working capital since 2000. But the management realises that as competition intensifies, there is still scope for improving operational efficiency and cutting working capital needs.
