Haldiram Snacks Food Private Limited has appointed Annu Gupta as CEO – International Business, strengthening its strategic focus on global expansion and accelerating its vision to emerge as a globally scaled food brand beyond India.
Gupta joins the snacks major after a 13-year tenure at Britannia Industries, where he most recently served as CEO – International Business and was instrumental in strengthening and expanding the company’s global footprint.
Announcing the move on LinkedIn, Gupta said he was “humbled and excited” to take on a new challenge at Haldiram, citing the brand’s eight-decade legacy and its ambition to evolve into a world-class global player. He said the focus would be on building strong local operations and manufacturing facilities across international markets.
With nearly 28 years of experience in the FMCG sector, Gupta brings deep expertise in scaling businesses across the Middle East, Africa and other global markets: regions central to Haldiram’s international strategy.
Earlier in his career, Gupta held leadership roles at TGI Nigeria Limited, Iffco, Dabur India Limited and Colgate-Palmolive.
