After Amway CEO Milind Pant stated in a 2023 interview that his investment plan for India was “very bullish,” the company has announced it will spend $4 million on the construction of four Research & Development (R&D) labs across India. Collectively, the labs will encompass more than 24,000 square feet and will be located in Gurugram, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Dindigul. The labs are expected to focus on product solutions in the categories of foods, oral solids, beauty and personal care and will meet both domestic and global requirements.
