Marico Limited has announced a strategic shift in its organizational structure effective April 1, 2026. Mr. Pawan Agrawal, currently the Group CFO, will assume the expanded role of Group CFO and Chief Executive Officer – International Business. This move consolidates the leadership of the company’s global operations under his guidance, marking a pivotal transition in the firm’s management framework.
Leadership Expansion
As part of its organizational evolution, Marico Limited is centralizing its international business oversight. Mr. Pawan Agrawal, who has been instrumental in the company’s growth since joining in 2004, will now lead the overall international business portfolio. In his expanded capacity as Group CFO and CEO – International Business, he will leverage his 25 years of extensive experience in financial planning, corporate finance, and business operations to drive the company’s global vision.
Strategic Organizational Transition
Following this appointment, the reporting hierarchy for regional leadership will be realigned. Mr. Binjit Kadakapcedlikayal (Executive Vice President – Middle East & North Africa) and Mr. Ryan Bartram (Managing Director – Marico South Africa) will now report directly to the CEO of International Business. As a result of these structural adjustments, both Mr. Kadakapcedlikayal and Mr. Bartram will no longer be classified as Senior Management Personnel (SMP) effective April 1, 2026.
A Proven Track Record
Mr. Agrawal brings significant expertise to his new role, having successfully navigated Marico through various business complexities. His career highlights include overseeing the acquisitions of major digital-first brands such as Beardo, Just Herbs, True Elements, Plix, 4700BC, and Cosmix. Recognized for his leadership, he was named CFO of the Year in the consumer sector at the CII CFO Excellence Awards 2023-24 and has been pivotal in maintaining Marico’s strong performance in the Southeast Asian and Bangladeshi markets.
