Adversity also brings teams together to a common cause which is why they displayed calm, resolve, and consistency in the face of the storm by combating volatilities, using imagination, courage, thoughtful strategies which kept the growth engine growing. My heartfelt appreciation to each of my colleagues and partners for weathering the storm and coming out well. I am delighted to share that we delivered our highest doubleͲdigit growth in a decade led by sustained volume and mix-led growth, leading to strong value growth. In 2022 total sales grew by 14.5% and domestic sales increased by 14.8%, with broad-based performance across all categories. Our robust performance on e-commerce continued, fuelled by Quick Commerce and Click & Mortar. OutͲOfͲHome (OOH) business made a strong comeback in 2022, recovering its preͲcovid base and delivering robust growth by revamping and resetting geography, channel, and sales priority. We launched our first ever ‘direct to consumer’ (D2C) platform – www.mynestle.in where products manufactured by the Company in India are available in Delhi – NCR.”
