Dabur India Limited has unveiled a senior management restructuring, elevating Mohit Malhotra to the position of Whole Time Director and Global Chief Executive Officer, while appointing Herjit S. Bhalla as Chief Executive Officer – India Business.
Malhotra, who previously served as Whole Time Director and CEO, has been redesignated with immediate effect, reflecting Dabur’s sharper focus on strengthening its international operations and long-term global growth strategy.
In a parallel move, the Dabur Board, on the recommendation of the Nomination & Remuneration Committee, has appointed Bhalla as CEO – India Business, classified as Senior Management Personnel. His appointment will be effective from April 15, 2026, or a mutually agreed date, and he will report to Malhotra in his global role.
Bhalla brings more than 25 years of experience in commercial leadership and general management across multiple geographies. A B.Com (Hons.) graduate from Delhi University and an MBA from MDI Gurugram, he began his career with Unilever in 2000, where he held various senior sales and marketing roles, including serving as Marketing Director in Moscow between 2009 and 2012.
He later served as Chief Operating Officer at Metro Cash & Carry, and joined The Hershey Company in 2018 as Managing Director for India, before taking on wider global leadership responsibilities spanning AEMEA, Canada and global customer roles.
The restructuring introduces a dual leadership structure at Dabur, with a global CEO overseeing strategy and international operations, and a dedicated India CEO focused on driving growth and execution in the company’s largest market. The move underscores Dabur’s efforts to balance its domestic leadership with an expanding global ambition.
