Reliance Consumer Products Limited
(RCPL), the FMCG arm of Reliance Industries Limited, has acquired a majority
stake in Australia’s popular ‘Better-For-You’ beverage company, Goodness Group
Global Pty. Ltd. (GGG). The landmark acquisition marks RCPL’s strategic entry
into the fast-growing Australian consumer goods market and reinforces its
commitment to delivering global-quality products at affordable prices.
Under the strategic partnership, RCPL
will support the expansion of Goodness Group’s flagship health-focused beverage
brands, including Nexba and PACE — a hydration brand co-created with Australian
cricket captain Pat Cummins — into newer international markets, including
India.
The collaboration further strengthens
RCPL’s focus on building a robust health-oriented beverages portfolio and
cements its position as a rapidly emerging global FMCG player from India. RCPL
has already established its presence in several international markets such as
the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. Its growing portfolio
includes healthy beverage offerings like RasKik and Sun Crush juices,
zero-sugar carbonated soft drinks, and the herbal-natural beverage brand
Shunya.
T. Krishnakumar, Director, Reliance
Consumer Products Limited, said, “This strategic partnership is a bold step
towards establishing RCPL as a global FMCG company from India. The addition of
GGG’s health-focused consumer brands like Nexba and PACE will significantly
strengthen RCPL’s healthy beverages portfolio. With our strong supply chain and
distribution capabilities, RCPL will ensure the expansion of GGG’s brands
across newer markets and their wide availability in India. This move will
further help us deliver on our promise of making global quality accessible to
everyone.”
Sharing his perspective on the
partnership, Troy Douglas, Founder of Goodness Group, said, “We are delighted
that our brands and innovation have resonated so strongly and that RCPL
recognises the significant business opportunity ahead. RCPL is among the
fastest-growing and most formidable FMCG companies. In RCPL, we have found a
strong and sophisticated partner to support our evolution as we scale into a
global player across up to 50 Western markets over the next five years. This
partnership positions us to become a global leader in the ‘Better-For-You’
category.”
Sydney-based Goodness Group Global is
a well-established player in Australia, focused on providing healthier,
global-quality beverage choices to consumers across Australia and 21 other
international markets. Guided by its ‘Better-For-You’ philosophy, GGG’s
flagship brand Nexba is an iconic gut-health beverage crafted using its
proprietary all-natural, plant-based, zero-calorie sweetener, Goodsweet.
In addition to Nexba, GGG’s portfolio
includes BISON, a light and refreshing protein-based beverage, and GOOD
BREKKIE, which offers nutritious liquid breakfast solutions. PACE, co-created
with Pat Cummins, stands out as a performance-driven hydration brand, further
underscoring GGG’s innovation-led approach in the health and wellness beverages
segment.
