SAKSHI MODY
PROMOTER ~ J L MORISON INDIA Ltd.
Having majored in Media Studies and Political Science from the University of Virginia, USA, Sakshi was pursuing a career in journalism. Sakshi joined JLM at a time when the company was struggling post the exit of Nivea- both the top and bottom lines being under pressure.
Over the last decade and a half, Sakshi has been able to transform the company from a distribution house for foreign brands in India to a home grown FMCG company which manufactures, markets and distributes its brands through its wide and integrated distribution network. Hiring the best talent and adopting technology to enable business growth.
Sakshi along with her team re-launched Morisons Baby Dreams in 2011 and is assiduously growing it as JLM’s largest contributing brand by revenue. By 2015 we started our own baby products GMP factory in Kolkata producing our own feeding bottles, nipples and accessories with best in class imported machines.
Bigen also backward integrated in 2016 to manufacturing locally at our erstwhile Nivea plant in Waluj, Aurangabad.
Sakshi personally looks into the company’s ESG and Corp Philanthropy initiatives. We have over the years increased our women participation to 10%, donated multiple volunteering hours to our community and have installed solar panels and rain water harvesting tanks at our factories.
Our Project Kaamyaab is very close to Sakshi’s heart- it is our philanthropy project where we skill underprivileged new mothers to get back into the work force post child birth to earn an additional income for their families while we look after their young children in a day care facility at our centres in Turbhe and Bhayendar.
Sakshi’s leadership mantras- Teamwork is Dreamwork and Consistency is the master key to Success
