Dabur Launches ₹500 Crore 'Dabur Ventures' to Invest in Digital-First Brands

Focus Areas

The company stated that it will not expand into entirely new categories but will explore opportunities in premium and adjacent segments. These will mainly target digital-first brands that cater to younger consumers. Dabur added that it will look at companies that already have an operational base in areas where Dabur sees potential for future growth.
