Sanjit Randhawa will take over as the new managing director for India, the company said on Wednesday. In his new role, Subramaniam will report to the company’s chief executive officer Mahesh Madhavan. He will also join the global leadership team and be based in Dubai.
“As we continue to expand Bacardi’s portfolio of premium brands in these vast and fast-growing markets, Vijay’s keen understanding of the opportunities and complexities unique to this region, and his ability to brilliantly adapt global brands to make them locally relevant, will be vital to our continued global growth," Madhavan said in the statement.
