Nestlé India ke ex-CMD Suresh Narayanan ki nayi book 'Courage Under Fire' mein 2015 ke Maggi crisis ke wo tough days yaad kiye gaye hain. Jaaniye kaise transparency aur employee focus ne company ko dobara khada kiya.
Crisis ka wo darr aur leadership ka lesson
Saal 2015 mein jab Maggi par sawal uthe, tab 39,000 tonnes noodles ko market se hatana pada tha. Ye company ki revenue ka takreeban 30% hissa tha. Suresh Narayanan ne apni book mein bataya ki unka focus sirf financial loss bachana nahi, balki employees aur distributors ka morale maintain karna tha. Transparency hi wo key thi jisne brand ko dubne se bachaya.
Financials aur Stock ka haal
Aaj ke waqt mein Nestlé India ek debt-free company hai aur dividend payouts mein bhi solid hai. Filhaal share price ₹1,300 ke range mein trade kar raha hai. Halanki, analysts ka manna hai ki iska P/E ratio peers ke muqable kaafi high hai, jo iske 'premium' hone ka sign hai.
Future risks aur monitorables
FMCG sector mein competition tagda hai aur inflation input costs par pressure daal raha hai. Investors ke liye sabse bada risk ab bhi 'brand perception' hai. Company ki success aage is baat par depend karegi ki wo rising costs ko handle karte hue apni margins kaise protect karti hai.
