Colgate-Palmolive India Partners with Start-Up for Digital Sales Operations
Colgate-Palmolive India recently appointed the digital-first Bombay Shaving Company to manage its direct-to-consumer and e-commerce operations, while focusing its own efforts on traditional retail channels. This move reflects a broader trend of established consumer goods companies partnering with or acquiring digital-native brands to better engage millennial and Gen Z consumers. Industry experts note that start-ups excel in online engagement and content creation, areas where legacy firms face challenges, prompting discussions about outsourcing digital operations to specialized start-ups.
