which accounts for two of every three razor now sold in Indıa. But in 2002; Gillete’s situation was not encouraging.
Procter & Gamble executives say it was striking the first time they witnessed a man shave while sitting barefoot on the floor in a tiny hut in India
India Gillette introduced Mach3
Turbo, a triple-blade shaving system in India. Gillette India has launched customised products specially designed for Indian consumers. It introduced “Vector Plus”, which is a twin blade system with push clean anti-clogging function in the mid-price segment.
When it took on the Indian market again with the Guard, Gillette took into consideration the country's widespread lack of running water

market share, when took into account of local wants and needs..
