Sunil D'Souza leads Tata Group's FMCG arm, Tata Consumer Product Ltd (TCPL), as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). He has been leading the Rs 109000 crore market cap company since April 2020.
TCPL sells Gluco Plus, a ready-to-serve drink. It competes with Campa Cola, a brand owned by Mukesh Ambani's Reliance. Sunil says aggressive pricing with higher margins to retailers by Campa Cola has disrupted the market and increased competition in bottled beverages. The revenue from the ready-to-drink business of TCPL also declined 11 per cent to Rs 154 crore in the September quarter owing to "competitive pricing action", he added.
