In many ways, if Viacom18 is flying high today, it owes its current status to a fair extent to former CEO, Sudhanshu Vats.
Vats name, as per the Board of Directors of Pidilite Industries Limited, has been approved as Managing Director Designate. The Board also approved the appointment of Kavinder Singh as Executive Director and Joint Managing Director Designate. They will take charge as Managing Director and Joint Managing Director, from April 2025, after the completion of term of the current Managing Director, Mr. Bharat Puri. Note, you read it right. It’s 2025, not 2024.
Commenting on the announcement, M B Parekh, Executive Chairman of Pidilite Industries, said “The appointments of Sudhanshu and Kavinder will reflect the next phase of the Pidilite leadership journey.”
Vats is currently Deputy Managing Director of Pidilite Industries. Singh is currently Managing Director and CEO of Mahindra Holidays and Resorts.
