Colgate Partners with Bombay Shaving Company to Manage Palmolive D2C Business
Colgate-Palmolive India has partnered with Bombay Shaving Company to manage the direct-to-consumer (D2C) and e-commerce operations for its Palmolive personal care brand. Bombay Shaving Company will handle consumer-facing advertising and customer relationships, while Colgate retains control over product innovation, quality, supply chain, and traditional retail channels. This collaboration aims to leverage Bombay Shaving Company's digital expertise to improve Palmolive's performance, which Colgate's CEO acknowledged has been disappointing. Colgate acquired a 14% stake in Bombay Shaving Company in 2018.
