Dear shareholders,

It is with great enthusiasm & pride that I am addressing you as the Chairman of Sanofi Consumer Healthcare India Limited (SCHIL). This marks a defining moment in our journey as we establish ourselves as a standalone consumer healthcare company, following our successful demerger from Sanofi Limited. With a strong legacy, market expertise, and a commitment to innovation, SCHIL is poised to shape the future of consumer healthcare in India. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our investors, partners, employees, and all stakeholders for their trust and belief in our vision.

We are proud to have built a fine management team whose passion and expertise drive our mission forward, and we are equally fortunate to be guided by an accomplished and visionary Board of Directors.

A changing consumer healthcare landscape

The global consumer healthcare industry is undergoing a profound transformation, fueled by increasing consumer awareness, rapid digital adoption, and the growing shift towards self-care solutions. With a projected CAGR of 7.91%, the market is expected to reach approximately USD 708.44 billion by 2034 (Precedence Research).

In India, the consumer healthcare market was valued at approximately 68,000 crore as of December 2024, reflecting the sector's rapid growth and evolving consumer behavior. Indian consumers are increasingly prioritizing preventive healthcare, holistic wellness, and digital-first solutions, leading to a surge in demand for fitness, nutrition, and early diagnostics. The shift from reactive treatments to proactive health management is reshaping the industry landscape.

The expansion of e-commerce and digital health platforms has further enhanced accessibility, offering consumers the convenience of online consultations, doorstep delivery of health products, and AI-powered self-care recommendations.

We see this as a pivotal opportunity to innovate our product offerings, expand accessibility, and strengthen consumer engagement. By staying ahead of industry trends and aligning with India's evolving health-conscious mindset, we aim to empower individuals to take charge of their well-being in a more connected and informed way.

Gratitude to regulatory bodies and the government

On behalf of the Board, I extend our sincere appreciation to the Government of India and regulatory bodies for their continuous support in shaping an environment that encourages science, innovation and growth in the consumer healthcare sector. Their progressive policies and initiatives have enabled companies like ours to enhance healthcare accessibility, improve consumer well-being, and contribute to a healthier nation.

SCHIL's vision

Our vision is clear: To become the best Fast-Moving Consumer Healthcare (FMCH) company in and for the world. As we take bold strides on this transformative journey, we remain committed to delivering high-quality, science-backed self-care solutions that empower consumers to take charge of their health. With a deep understanding of evolving consumer needs and a strong foundation in research and innovation, we are confident in our ability to redefine the consumer healthcare landscape in India and beyond.

The past year has been an exciting phase for SCHIL. Despite the demerger, we have generated significant value for our stakeholders, a testament to the strength of our business model and the support of our shareholders. Our journey has been further strengthened by our parent company, who believed in our strategic vision and continue to drive SCHIL toward greater heights.

We see this as a pivotal opportunity to innovate our product offerings, expand accessibility, and strengthen consumer engagement.

On a global scale, SCHIL stands to benefit from the collaboration between Sanofi and CD&R, as announced recently. This partnership will only propel our ambitions, enabling us & our parent entity to emerge as a leading consumer healthcare company. With a strong portfolio of trusted brands, global market presence, and a commitment to innovation, we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.

Our commitment to sustainability

Furthermore, we recognize that health extends beyond individuals to encompass the well-being of our planet. Our Sustainable Care Pledge (SCP) reflects our commitment to a healthier society and a healthier planet. We are dedicated to responsible sourcing, packaging, and reducing our environmental footprint by dedicating to community & health causes, ensuring that our growth is both sustainable and impactful.

Looking ahead

As we step into this new chapter, our mission remains steady: To empower people to champion better self-care for themselves, their communities, and the planet through consumer-inspired, science-based products and solutions.

I want to express my gratitude to all our shareholders who have believed in us and stayed strong in this new journey. We are proud to have built a fine management team and are truly blessed with an accomplished and insightful Board of Directors. I would also like to acknowledge their continued contributions and commitment to our journey. Together, we are shaping a healthier, brighter future because, at SCHIL, we firmly believe that health is in your hands.
