Reckitt Benckiser Bullish About India, Emerging Markets, CEO Says

Reckitt Benckiser plans to expand its business presence in India, where the company has been operating for more than 80 years, according to company chief executive officer Rakesh Kapoor. The CEO said India, as well as the other emerging markets, offers opportunities for growth and expansion. Despite the economic slowdown in India, consumer demand is forecast to keep growing, Kapoor said. Although both China and India are important markets for his company, Kapoor said that Reckitt Benckiser’s presence in India is more significant than in China where the company has been operating for only about 20 years.
