When it comes to mosquito repellents, India has a pretty wide variety to offer — vaporisers, mats, coils, aerosols, gels and creams. And given the country’s tropical, bug-friendly climate, they’re all used well and frequently, right? Wrong.

Those are uncomfortable numbers for Godrej Consumer Products (GCPL). The market leader in the Indian household insecticides market, like its peers, has been unable to exploit the full potential for its products in rural India.
