INNOVATION
 Unilever research is looking at what man’s distant ancestors
ate to see how it could enhance modern-day nutrition.
 Background sound played during a meal can significantly affect
how food tastes, according to research conducted by Unilever
R&D in collaboration with the University of Manchester.
 Long term exposure to high levels of glucose causes people to
look older than they really are, new research suggests.
 According to new research, drinking a cup of black tea three
times a day may significantly reduce your blood pressure.
 Unilever R&D partnered the University of Manchester in a
project to understand how a person’s brain shapes the taste of
their food, and how consumers make and maintain healthy
food choices.

FUTURE SCOPE
• “Technology and easier access to information and knowledge have opened up
employment opportunities, resulting in a new wave of people entering the
consumption cycle.
• “We are witnessing a significant increase in the earning power of consumers at
the bottom of the pyramid as they join the increasing middle-class population
in India,” he said.
• “The traditional socio-economic pyramid is rapidly transforming itself into a
diamond with a burgeoning middle class and a decreasing number of low-
income consumers.”
• The need for companies is to be able to seize the opportunities these changes
present, and also protect themselves from the challenges of the VUCA
(volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) world, he added.
• “At Unilever, we have ingrained agility and speed in our work culture.
• “Equally, diversity and inclusion are an important aspect of our sustainable
business growth agenda and a key to building a future ready organisation. In
HUL, we refer to this as ‘Winning Balance’,” Manwani said.
