revolutionary processes of

As Vice President of
Sales for Wipro Consumer
Care in India, Neeraj
concentrated on boosting
sales in India, before
relocating to Indonesia in


  1. In the new country,
    his challenge as head of
    Wipro Unza was complex as he faced the dilemma
    of blending different corporate cultures.
    “In Indonesia, we effectively had a double
    acquisition having acquired Unza, which had, in
    turn, acquired the local company Vitalis. So we were
    struggling with the brands and cultures of three
    companies,” he explains. “We decided our priority
    was to focus on the local brands, rather than
    introducing Unza’s brands from Singapore and
    Malaysia. So, we identified that we wanted to become
    the market leaders in female fragrances and feminine
    washes and, within three years, we achieved that.”
    With the local brands successfully spearheading
    the market, Wipro Unza began launching Unza


products earlier this year.
Observing that Indonesian
men usually relied on
generic family brands for
grooming, the company
introduced Romano, a
men’s range including
fragrances, body sprays,
shower gel and shampoos.
Safi, a trusted halal brand
used as a skincare staple by Muslim women in
Malaysia for years, was also launched onto the
Indonesian market.
“Over the next two years, we aim to achieve a
critical position with these two brands,” Neeraj says.
“While we operate on a classical business model it’s
the way we do business that differentiates us. The
persistence required to enter a new market category
is in our DNA. We use a very disciplined and
consistent approach, in the belief that we can bring
better value and products to our consumers.”
Surprisingly, despite his commitment for Wipro
Unza products to become market leaders, Neeraj
doesn’t believe it pays to have the perfect plan. »
