Ektara is the world’s largest tea company, with an annual turnover of around €2 billion, and has a portfolio of leading and principled brands such as Lipton, Boca, Tazo, T2 and PG Tips. The word “Eka” in Sanskrit means unity and one goal, while the word “Tira” represents land and nature. As Ikatara, we are truly united by one purpose: to develop a better world through the renewable power of plants.

In July 2022, CVC Capital Partners Fund VIII retained full ownership of the Ektara business from its previous owner, Unilever. By sticking to its positioning as an independent entity and determined to focus on one category, Ektara is better positioned to lead the tea industry, achieving better growth, higher value, and greater impact on the world as a whole. While maintaining its profitable and growing presence and its brands that reach hundreds of millions of consumers in more than 100 countries, it owns 11 factories on four continents and tea plantations in three producing and developing countries.

Ektara holds an exciting future under CVC ownership, with opportunities whose investments support its iconic brands, team and capabilities. By combining the strength and scale of our brands with a focus on speed and agility, Ektara is brewing a startup mindset that unlocks new opportunities for growth every day on the ground.
