Godrej Consumer CEO Sudhir Sitapati Resigns; CFO Aasif Malbari Named Successor
Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL) announced the immediate resignation of Managing Director and CEO Sudhir Sitapati, just days after his reappointment was approved by shareholders. Aasif Malbari, previously GCPL's global CFO and president of its Africa business, has been appointed as the new MD and CEO for a five-year term, subject to shareholder approval. Malbari is credited with transforming GCPL's Africa operations, improving margins and expanding the FMCG portfolio. The company plans to reinstate separate India and international CEO roles. GCPL's shares fell over 10% following the leadership change, though brokerages remain cautiously optimistic about the company's strategy and outlook.
