I have no idea but is there any chance that gillette introduces its best products through some 100% subsdiary in future. I have seen this happening in pharma MNC's in india.

These are huge huge and powerful brands. Nestle, Colgate, Horlicks, gillette, Vicks etc. are extremely powerful brands. I will like to see them come down rather than go up. Worth an accumulation. I had reckitt as I had a big fancy for Dettol but unfortunately had to abandon that company. Lets see wht happens to all of these brands....

P&G's growth will come from Whisper (sanitary napkins). Usage of sanitary napkins still has a long long way to go in India.
Vicks ofcourse is a cash cow.
The recently divested their contract manufacturing operations. Now, P&G is a pure branded play - margins will be much higher than before.

Is Gillette India only Gillette or is it completely merged with P&G. When Gillette stock is priced, does it include P&G value in it?

this one is going higher and higher every day...

Could buy only limited quantity at 850..but was able to average up..
 
I visited different retail stores and all of them had mostly Gillette blades...
