How Dabur turned around Balsara

Three hundred people leaving an organisation can never be good news. Not even when the departures happen in the wake of a buy-out.

So it's understandable when P D Narang rates those exits as the most painful part of Dabur India's acquisition of the Balsara group's hygiene and home products business earlier this year.

"You worry about the skills and experience they're taking away, but you aren't sure you can retain them in a new, integrated structure," says the Dabur India group director.


However difficult the exodus was, there's no denying that it gave Dabur the edge it needed. Barely six months after it announced the takeover of the three loss-making companies in January, Dabur made another announcement: the new subsidiaries were now making profits, ahead even of the schedule Dabur had chalked out for their recovery.
