Emami Ltd has appointed Dhruv Aggarwal as its Chief Growth Officer, effective March 25, 2026, as the company looks to strengthen its growth strategy and expand across key categories.
Aggarwal steps into the role following the resignation of Giriraj Bagri, who is currently serving his notice period.
In his new position, Aggarwal will be responsible for driving Emami’s overall growth agenda, including business expansion and strategic initiatives across its portfolio.
He joins Emami from Bain & Company, where he spent several years as a Partner in the consumer and retail practice. During his tenure, he worked closely with businesses and investors across global markets such as the US, UK, Germany, and India, advising them on growth strategies and operational improvements.
With over two decades of experience, Aggarwal brings a strong background in strategy consulting and project management. Earlier in his career, he held roles at Barclays Capital as a quantitative associate and at Jindal Power Limited in project management. He also worked as a teaching assistant at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Aggarwal holds an MBA from the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore and a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where he was also part of a PhD programme.
His appointment comes at a time when Emami is seeing momentum in its digital-first portfolio. Brands like The Man Company and Brillare have been contributing to growth, supported by the rise of quick commerce and direct-to-consumer channels, along with increased presence on rapid delivery platforms.
