Hindustan Unilever Acquires Full Ownership of OZiva

Hindustan Unilever has announced a significant restructuring of its health and wellness portfolio, confirming its plan to acquire complete ownership of the nutritional brand OZiva. The company will purchase the remaining 49 percent stake from Zywi Ventures for INR 824 crore (approximately $66.6 million).

This transaction will make OZiva a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hindustan Unilever, following its initial acquisition of a 51 percent stake in 2023. OZiva has shown rapid growth within India's nutritional segment, generating approximately INR 480 crore in revenue for 2025 and achieving a compound annual growth rate of 130 percent over the past two years.

The divestment of Hindustan Unilever's 19.8 percent stake in Nutritionalab for INR 307 crore (around $24.8 million) aligns with the company's focus on simplifying its investment portfolio and prioritizing higher-impact growth opportunities. Priya Nair, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Hindustan Unilever, noted that full ownership of OZiva will enable the company to accelerate innovation and strengthen science-led offerings.

The acquisition and sale are expected to be completed by March 2026, subject to customary regulatory conditions.
