With an aim to build on its core strength and expand further in the wellness space, Emami is focused to seize opportunities with its acquisition of ‘She Comfort’.    “Awareness of feminine hygiene is still not at an optimal stage in India.  The sanitary napkin market is currently a low penetrated category.
