Malhotra spent over three decades at Dabur in leadership roles across Europe, Egypt, the Middle East and India.\n\n## Malhotra's Move From Dabur to Group SNS\n\nMalhotra could not be reached for comments, and he confirmed his move to Dubai in a LinkedIn post on Friday. \"As I step into my next chapter in Dubai, I carry the same butterflies I had on Day 1 in 1994. Perhaps that's a good thing: there's always a new learning curve,\" he wrote. He did not mention details of his new role.\n\n\"To young professionals: don't plan every step. Take the difficult assignment. Learn more from the setbacks than you worry about the blame,\" his post added. An email query to Group SNS remained unanswered till press time on Friday.\n\nThe two-decades-plus SNS is a $1 billion-turnover company with business interests across fast moving consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and real estate, and a team of more than 18,000 employees, according to its website. India's consumer goods sector has seen several C-suite changes and churn over the past 12 months as challenges such as inflation, inconsistent demand trends, resurgent competition from regional and digital-first players and a continued volatile geopolitical environment persist.\n\nGodrej Consumer Products and Colgate-Palmolive India announced abrupt changes to their leadership in recent months, while last year saw new CEOs at Hindustan Unilever, Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages, L'Oreal and Britannia.\n\n## Group SNS Operations Across Africa\n\n[Group SNS](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000bh23/group-sns) is a privately owned Dubai-headquartered conglomerate founded in 1998, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records list 18,000+ employees and professionals worldwide across all businesses, alongside 300+ hypermarkets, supermarkets, wholesale and Cash&Carry outlets across African geographies and 70+ branded pharmacy retail outlets across Africa.\n\nThe records describe diversified manufacturing spanning F&B, alcohol, cosmetics, steel and packaging, plus real estate and merchant trading across African markets. They also list a 2023 build-out of an integrated retail network across African geographies and a 2023 launch and scaling of branded alcohol manufacturing, including Kira Rum and Havelock whiskey and gin brands, at plants serving African markets.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
