The move widens his role as the company grows the brand in India’s café and foodservice market.
Sachdeva shared the news on LinkedIn. “Thrilled to share that I’ve been promoted to Head of Operations – India for Pret A Manger at Reliance Brands Limited!” he wrote.
He has worked on Pret A Manger’s India business since the brand entered the country. He joined Reliance Brands in December 2022 as Regional Operations Head – West, where he managed the brand’s regional operations and supported its early expansion.
In his new role, Sachdeva will lead Pret A Manger’s operations across India. He will be responsible for team management, outlet performance and customer experience, and will support the company’s plans to open more stores.
“Having been part of the journey since we first brought Pret to India and spent the last few years building the brand from the ground up, this milestone feels extra special,” he said. He added that he looks forward to leading the teams and giving guests great experiences as the brand expands.
Sachdeva has more than 13 years of experience across retail, fashion and lifestyle, gourmet food retail, hotels and restaurants. Before joining Reliance Brands, he worked with FoodHall, Nature’s Basket and Steve Madden.
His promotion comes as Reliance Brands steps up Pret A Manger’s growth in India. As the network gets bigger, the operations team will need to manage more outlets and keep the experience consistent across all of them.
