20 == Company History ==
21
22 NESTLÉ's relationship with India dates back to 1912, when it began trading as The NESTLÉ Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company (Export) Limited, importing and selling finished products in the Indian market.
23
24 After India's independence in 1947, the economic policies of the Indian Government emphasised the need for local production. NESTLÉ responded to India's aspirations by forming a company in India and set up its first factory in 1961 at Moga, Punjab, where the Government wanted NESTLÉ to develop the milk economy. Progress in Moga required the introduction of NESTLÉ's Agricultural Services to educate, advise and help the farmer in a variety of aspects. From increasing the milk yield of their cows through improved dairy farming methods, to irrigation, scientific crop management practices and helping with the procurement of bank loans.
25
26 NESTLÉ set up milk collection centres that would not only ensure prompt collection and pay fair prices, but also instil amongst the community, a confidence in the dairy business. Progress involved the creation of prosperity on an on-going and sustainable basis that has resulted in not just the transformation of Moga into a prosperous and vibrant milk district today, but a thriving hub of industrial activity, as well.
27
28 NESTLÉ has been a partner in India's growth for over a century now and has built a very special relationship of trust and commitment with the people of India. The Company's activities in India have facilitated direct and indirect employment and provides livelihood to about one million people including farmers, suppliers of packaging materials, services and other goods.

127
128 The company stood by nearly 100,000 dairy farmers in these difficult times and bought every drop of milk which was offered by them. The company continued to work closely with its 3,500 coffee farmers, 1,250 spice growers and extended its support to numerous farmers in Karnataka by sourcing substantial quantity of tomatoes from them through its suppliers to reduce distress.
129
130 Despite a challenging environment, the company delivered robust growth across all its categories, largely driven by volume and mix-led growth. NESCAFÉ, KITKAT, EVERYDAY, MAGGI noodles, MASALA-Ae-MAGIC outperformed and continued to be significant growth drivers. The company delivered strong performance in the e-commerce channel, due to rise in in-home consumption. During the rapidly evolving times, the company continued with its innovation and renovation journey to meet consumer needs and seven out of the eight Nestlé brands held number one position, according to Nielsen data. With a strong thrust on innovation, the company launched more than 80 new products in the last 5 years and has been consistently present across 7935 urban towns in last 5 years.

MAGGI Sauces registered double-digit growth and MAGGI Upma and Poha scaled up in volume and delivered strong presence in the Ready-to-Eat segment.

156 **Strengthening of Milk products and Nutrition Portfolio**
157
158 The Milk Product and Nutrition business continued to deliver good performance despite disruptions caused by COVID-19 and challenges linked to commodity price fluctuation. The company mitigated some of these challenges by identifying and implementing efficiency improvements across the value chain.
159
160 The company continued to support over 100,000 Dairy farmers during the pandemic by buying every litre of milk offered to the company, providing uninterrupted timely payments and ensuring COVID-19 related precautions are followed during milk collection.
161
162 The company distributed over 6 Million serves of dairy products as a part of ‘Care Packs’ to frontline COVID warriors. The company also pioneered the purpose-driven campaign by distributing sweet dish made from MILKMAID to over 10,000 families during Kerala’s Onam festival.
163
164 The company’s Healthcare Nutrition Business, Nestlé Health Science, has a portfolio of science based medical and consumer healthcare nutrition products. In 2020, the company continued to consolidate its portfolio that delivered growth.
165
166 Introduction of smaller 200g SKUs of RESOURCE HIGH PROTEIN and RESOURCE DIABETIC in key channels, helped increase consumer access. With continued endeavors to renovate and innovate, the company also expanded its offerings in the weight management category by launching OPTIFAST vanilla flavor variant.
167
168 **Growing Coffee and Beverages Business**
169
170 The company continued to focus on growing Coffee and Beverages business and remain relevant to consumers, despite the challenges posed by COVID-19. Remaining consistent to the successful strategy over last few years, NESCAFÉ led the journey of building the coffee consumption category throughout the year. This reflected in strong brand growth and resulted in significant market share gains. The company continued its journey of building relevance and strong connection with consumers with the NESCAFÉ Classic new campaign, ’Karne se hi hona hai’ The campaign was anchored in hope and action to inspire consumers to restart lives in the new normal.

As more and more people stayed indoors, there was a need for in-home indulgences. With exciting coffee recipes and product solutions, NESCAFÉ Gold helped consumers create a café like experience at home, resulting in strong growth.
175
176 **Nestlé Professional - Out-of-Home Business**
177
178 Despite the pandemic, the company continued to build its portfolio through the launch of innovative products and solutions.

This was accompanied by the development of an R&G beverage solution which opens-up an additional market for such solutions.
179

Those are the values and the purpose that has defined it, which the company take pride in and cherish. At the same time, as a leading food and beverage company, ensuring supplies of much needed products to consumers is the call of duty that unites all of it at Nestlé India!
218
219 Despite the enormous challenges during the devastating second wave of the pandemic in this quarter, I am immensely proud of the resolve of my team and its partners. An unwavering determination, empathetic teamwork, singular commitment and resolute focus ensured that much needed food and beverage products were available to its consumers. A simple, yet innovative example of this wasthe timely implementation of a ‘telecaller model’ to take orders across trade channels. The company's front-line sales colleagues stood tall to overcome serious logistical obstacles and ensure availability.

221 Last year, its commitment to India made it articulate an ambition to invest INR 2,600 Crore (INR 26 Billion) over a 3-4-year period.

This is a vindication of its confidence and trust in the Nestlé journey in India.

Generating employment is vital for the nation and Nestle India is trying to play its part towards this.

The company contributed about INR 15 Crore (INR 150 Million) towards CSR spends in the areas of nutrition awareness, COVID relief initiatives etc this quarter. Further, its unwavering focus on sustainability continues and Nestle India has invested about INR 25 Crore (INR 250 Million) in a range of projects in the first half of the year. ‘’
