Avalon identified and addressed four synergy areas—product portfolio, marketing communication, sales organization, and distribution network. Our recommendations led to unified operations, stronger marketing impact, and better market penetration. The roadmap unlocked ₹1 Bn in EBITDA impact and ₹2.5 Bn in potential revenue synergies
