## Malhotra's Move From Dabur to Group SNS

Malhotra 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.

"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.

The 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.

Godrej 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.
