Taming the tantalizing tentacles of change

Located on the Eastern Express Highway and nestled amidst the greenery of Vikhroli, Mumbai; Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL), a 110- year-old enterprise has created space for itself amongst millions of Indians with soaps, toiletries, fabric-care, baby-care and hair-care products.
