Pladis has appointed Mohit Dutta as Country General Manager for India, strengthening its leadership team in the market.
Dutta, who joined Pladis in 2022 as Sales Director for India, brings over 18 years of experience in sales, distribution and market development across leading FMCG organisations.
Before Pladis, he spent nearly a decade at Mars, working across trade marketing and sales roles. He has also held positions at Hindustan Unilever and Shell.
“The priority now is to accelerate growth through sharper execution, while continuing to expand our reach and build a business that stays closely aligned with evolving consumer demand,” said Mohit Dutta.
Reflecting on his tenure, Ritesh Gauba, outgoing Country General Manager - India for Pladis, said, “The past few years have been about putting the right building blocks in place, strengthening the business, sharpening our market approach, and building a team that can take this forward. That foundation positions the business well for what comes next. It has been a pleasure to work with the whole pladis team in India – I wish them every success for the future.”
Suryakant Pandey, Managing Director - MENAI region at Pladis, which India is a part of, said: “‘India remains a key market for us, and this transition ensures the leadership needed to scale the business with greater focus and execution.”
In his new role, Dutta will oversee the company’s operations and growth strategy in India, as Pladis continues to expand its footprint in the competitive snacking segment.
