Introduction
The success story of Nirma starts from its beginning. In 1969, Karsanbhai Patel tries his hand at making phosphate-free detergent powder. The product was named as Nirma (after Mr. Patel’s daughter Nirupama), a brand which today commands a value of Rs.4,840 crore. The product line of Nirma holds an array of consumer products ranging from cosmetics, soaps, detergents, salt and soda ash. Along the way, the Nirma brand name has become almost synonymous with low-priced detergents and toilet soaps.
Earlier the product was packed in polythene bags and was distributed within the reach of just 15 kms. Soon the distribution area widens and reached outside the boundaries of Gujrat. The detergent was priced at Rs. 3/- kg in competition to the other MNC brands costing Rs. 13/- kg. In less than ten years, Nirma became the top selling detergent in India.
By 1999, the company had become the largest detergent manufacturer in India. It had more than 38% market share in the detergent segment.
