Unilever's CEO, Fernando Fernandez, is keeping a close tap on India as a key driver of growth next to America for the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) giant. Speaking in a fireside chat with Barclays, the 58-year-old CEO said the demand in India has been slow, particularly due to food inflation that affected more than half of the population. However, the newly appointed CEO of the FMCG giant is pinning hope on the second half of the year for demand to pick up.
