Nestlé India joined the D2C market with the launch of its e-commerce platform MyNestlé.

The manufacturer of common goods Nestle India has entered the “online” market. Through the launch of its e-commerce platform MyNestlé, where customers can purchase all Nestlé products, this FMCG and packaged food giant has jumped on the direct-to-consumer (D2C) bandwagon. MyNestle will first be introduced to the Delhi-NCR market, according to Nestle India, and subsequently, it will be made available in further areas.

One of the major FMCG firms in India is Nestle India Limited, a division of the international Swiss company Nestle. The business prioritizes client pleasure and believes in innovation. It continually innovates and updates its products to achieve this.

Along with that, the business has emphasized improving operational effectiveness as well as the accessibility and visibility of its products. It gave its product greater significance in the lives of consumers. They intensified their use of working capital and fixed capital at the same time to enhance their sales and profit margin.

The advancement comes when consumer businesses have a digital shop. Tata Consumer and ITC, two domestic rivals of the Swiss food giant, created their online stores during the pandemic. Now Nestlé is not behind in this platform too.

On its site, the business intends to provide curated product bundles, custom presents, discounts, and subscriptions. On the platform, customers may test out gourmet meals and receive free nutrition advice. MyNestlé will debut in Delhi NCR first before moving on to other regions of the nation.

The D2C platform “MyNestle” will be introduced in the Delhi-NCR market before being extended to other regions, according to a statement made by Nestle India Chairman and Managing Director Suresh Narayanan in connection with the company’s quarterly results.

What can customers expect from the e-commerce platform MyNestlé?

Director and Chairman of Nestlé India, Suresh Narayanan, “Prioritizing consumer relevance and connection is essential for a Nestlé that is optimistic about the future. As we continue on this journey and serve our devoted customers when and when it counts, I’m thrilled to announce the opening of www.mynestle.in, our first-ever “direct to consumer” (D2C) site.”

Including Narayanan “MyNestlé, which was created with customer needs in mind, will no doubt excite customers in every way with its carefully chosen product bundles, personalized gifts, subscriptions, discounts, and other features. On the Internet, consumers may also sample gourmet meals and get free dietary advice.”

“The platform has been specifically created with the needs of the consumers in mind,” added Narayanan. I do not doubt that the platform will make the consumer feel good in every aspect.

Customers will gain a variety of advantages from this, such as curated product bundles, personalized gifting, subscriptions, and discounts.

Consumers will also be given free dietary advice on this site. Nestle now has a very small percentage of D2C and online sales, but the business anticipates a significant increase over the next several years.

Nestlé India estimates increased sales from the e-commerce channel, which presently makes up around 7% of its domestic sales, with the launch of the D2C platform.

Nestlé India recorded a net profit of Rs 668 crore for the third quarter ending in September (Q3), an increase of 8.3% over the Rs 617 crore reported for the same period last year.

In the third quarter, the company’s overall revenues increased 18.3% to Rs 4,591 crore from Rs 3,882 crore the previous year. Following this, the company’s net profit increased by about 30% from the Rs 515 crore reported in the second quarter, while revenue increased by 14% to Rs 4,036 crore.

Nestle is optimistic about the company’s future

For Nestle, the e-commerce channel had a notable acceleration in growth, with growth being mostly driven by new, emergent formats like “instant commerce” and “click and mortar,” contributing 7.2% to quarterly sales.

Narayanan explained, “There are reasons why I was “optimistic” about Nestle’s prospects in India. She observed outstanding ongoing business performance with the senior leadership team, a lively, young, and motivated staff, the equity of our brands, and our significant community and social footprint during the visit of Nestle SA’s Global Board of Directors to India.

The digital revolution in India and “how we are part of it and not just for India but also for Nestle in India” were highlighted by Nestle as examples of our commitment to environmental sustainability.

The direction of investment focus and faster business growth in India has received significant approval from Nestle’s global board.

By 2025, Nestle plans to invest Rs 5000 crore in India. The increased investment would help Nestle advance its core business in the nation and seize new development prospects. India is the tenth-largest market for Nestle internationally. The action will help the company in leveraging fresh growth potential and accelerate its core business in the nation.

According to Nestlé’s Narayanan, the corporation has integrated digital technology into its global expansion activities to keep its new products focused and cost-effective. It collaborated with a few digital analytics start-ups, like Midas, during the epidemic to assist it to make judgments using data gathered from millions of retailers and customers. Additionally, it collaborates with digital startups like ElasticRun, which promotes penetration in rural areas.

The total revenue for Nestle India in 2021 was Rs 14,709.41 crore. The company most recently spent roughly Rs 700 crore to establish a plant in Gujarat’s Sanand to produce a kind of well-known instant noodles, Maggi.

As a result of the pandemic, customer behavior has changed, and Nestlé is now planning to diversify its product line with high-performance items that offer better value.

To investigate development and expansion potential, Nestle India intends to concentrate on core categories such as milk & nutrition, chocolates & confectionary, and coffee & drinks.

Veteran businessman K.S. Narayanan believes that if Nestlé accurately pinpoints the sectors, entering the services market may come effortlessly. “They already have a section, Nestlé Professionals, that provides expertise as well as products to hotels and restaurants on a global scale.” The company intends to invest Rs 2,600 crore to support its ambitions and increase its capacities by 2024.
