Abstract:

United Kingdom-based consumer packaged goods giant Reckitt Benckiser Group Plc (RB) acquired the India-based OTC major company, Paras Pharmaceuticals Limited (Paras), on December 13, 2010, for US$ 726 million (£ 454 million). Until a few years earlier, RB had had a relatively low contribution of revenue from the Health & Personal Care (H&PC) category. However, the acquisition of Boots Healthcare International (in 2005) and SSL International Plc (in 2010) had significantly increased its revenue from this category. The acquisition of Paras was expected to further boost its presence in the H&PC category and to strengthen RB’s position in the world’s second fastest growing economy.
