“All the manufacturing takes place at our hi-tech manufacturing facility at Baddi because it is an excise free zone. We have not closed the Ahmedabad facility as we can use it as an option if there is any problem with our Baddi plant. Even if our Ahmedabad plant is idle, about 100 of our employees at the facility have not been laid off and are being paid,” Raghunandan said. The company's Baddi plant is spread over 43,000 square meters.

After launching Livon serum hair detangler, the FMCG company has plans to launch Livon conditioners this month.

"We have an 80 per cent market share in the 400 crore serum hair detangler segment. In order to get into a wider market, we have decided to launch the Livon conditioner this month," Raghunandan added.

Talking about the future plans of the company, Raghunandan said that the company will focus on international market growth in the next fiscal.

Moov expects to touch a Rs 100 crore portfolio soon."
