Business Avenues for a Conglomerate Company in India
by Suresh Kumar Business AnalystSurvival has
become tough in recent times. One can see companies in telecom, aviation and
finance getting low returns. Given the tough competition and large number of
players, a company has to offer value-added services to earn profits.
Value-addition is possible in a few sectors like hospitality, food and
beverages, retail and agri-business. For a conglomerate
company operating in India, these businesses are bound to give high
returns.
According to
the trends for 2022, the sectors that promote well-being will get better
returns. These include beauty products and pharmaceuticals. Products of several
conglomerates including Piramal Group has been manufacturing beauty care
products for a long time now. Patanjali Group has also ventured into making
beauty care products.
However,
hospitality including hotel industry has also been a chosen area where
conglomerates are investing enthusiastically. Because of the high demand among
people for budget hotels, this is a green pasture. Tata group was a pioneer to
enter the hospitality sector. ITC Group was the second conglomerate to enter
into the hotel business and opened a chain of hotels.
Retail sector
suffered a setback due to the pandemic with most of the transactions being done
online. However, buying from brick-and-mortar stores is slowly picking up. Many
conglomerates have explored the retail sector with the demand of quality
grocery products growing in India. Godrej, Tata Group and Reliance are some of
the big names which have entered into the retail business. By providing a
classy shopping experience, these groups are adding value to their retail
chains.
Business
opportunities are also growing in agricultural related products. Conglomerates
like Godrej and Tata Group have invested in the providing crop care solutions
for farmers that can increase the productivity.
In the FMCG
sector, profit margins in the beverages segment is one of the highest. Due to
the high volume of sales in the beverages sector, a conglomerate company operating in India can get high returns. There
seems to be a lot of scope for the companies in the hospitality sector as the
tourism industry is expected to rebound after facing a hit due to Covid. An
Indian conglomerate interested in earning profits can venture in the
hospitality sector.

company thriving in India because it has added value to its products. It

hospitality, FMCG and agribusiness. All its FMCG brands like Catch masalas,
Catch beverages and Rajnigandha are receiving all-round praise for its superior
