“It’s difficult to support so many brands,” said Kulkarni. “We are working on reducing the number of brands to also reduce our marketing spend.”

Kulkarni said the process had already begun, and the company expects the pruning to be complete in the next “two to three months”.

He declined to provide details of which brands would be axed.

“There will not be any impact to production or capacity,” he added, insisting job levels would not be reduced as a result of the move.
