The company's total income rose to Rs 3,240 crore in the first quarter of the current fiscal from Rs 2,923 crore in the year-ago period, Dabur India said in a regulatory filing on Thursday.
"We remain committed to our strategy of superior go-to-market execution by enhancing our distribution footprint while focusing on driving growth for our power brands and building an agile organisation culture in our pursuit of sustainable, balanced growth and value creation," Dabur India Chief Executive Officer Mohit Malhotra said.
The company has taken several measures to pursue greater efficiency and the gains were ploughed back in the form of higher investments to drive demand, he added.
"Our media spends grew 30 per cent in the consolidated business and 28 per cent in the India business," Malhotra said.
He noted that with inflation softening, the company has seen its rural growth bounce back to high single digits after three quarters.
