After 26 years of remarkable service, Suresh Narayanan, the current Chairman and Managing Director of Nestlé India Limited, will retire at the close of business on 31st July 2025. His leadership journey, one that has seen several milestones for the company, is set to end with him stepping down from his post. Known for his extensive experience within the Nestlé Group, Narayanan has been instrumental in driving the company to its current heights, making this retirement both well-deserved and a notable moment for Nestlé India.

The transition has already been set in motion, as Nestlé S.A. has nominated Mr. Manish Tiwary, an experienced business leader, to take over the Managing Director role. Manish Tiwary, with nearly three decades of experience, is no stranger to leading large-scale operations. His background includes a successful tenure as Country Manager at Amazon India, where he played a significant role in establishing Amazon’s e-commerce dominance in the region. Before his time at Amazon, he spent over 20 years with Unilever, where he held various key roles in sales, marketing, and general management across different geographies, including India, the Gulf, and North Africa. This leadership transition is expected to be effective from 1st August 2025, subject to the necessary approvals.

Manish Tiwary holds a B. Tech in Computer Science and an MBA from the prestigious Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore. With such credentials, his leadership promises to bring fresh energy and insights into Nestlé India’s operations, especially at a time when the consumer goods sector is experiencing rapid transformation, fueled by both e-commerce and consumer expectations. Tiwary will also step down from his directorship at Amazon Digital Services Private Limited and More Consumer Brands Private Limited by the end of October 2024, further paving the way for his new role at Nestlé.

Nestlé India has been a household name, playing a significant role in the FMCG sector. This upcoming leadership change is expected to continue the company's legacy while adapting to the future needs of a dynamic market. The corporate world and stakeholders will keenly observe how this transition unfolds, particularly considering Tiwary's diverse experience spanning both e-commerce and consumer goods sectors. Nestlé India’s ability to continuously innovate and adapt to consumer trends and market changes will no doubt be a key focus under his leadership.
