Radico Khaitan has announced a leadership realignment aimed at strengthening its organisational structure and advancing next-generation leadership across core business functions. The company has elevated Kunal Madan from Senior Vice President to Chief Marketing Officer as part of a broader CXO transition aligned with long-term strategic priorities.
The leadership restructuring has reflected a focus on internal progression, with senior executives taking on expanded responsibilities across verticals. The core leadership team has continued to operate under Managing Director Abhishek Khaitan, alongside Dilip Banthiya, Chief Financial Officer; Sanjeev Banga, President – International Business; Kunal Madan, Chief Marketing Officer; and Saket Somani, Head – Finance & Strategy.
The organisation has also undertaken structural transitions within its senior leadership, including Amar Sinha stepping down from his role as Chief Operating Officer after contributing across multiple phases of organisational development and brand initiatives.
Kunal Madan, who has previously served as Senior Vice President and has over two decades of experience across global marketing and business functions, has taken charge of overall marketing strategy, brand architecture and portfolio positioning across markets. With more than 12 years at the company, he has played a role in strengthening premium brand portfolios and expanding international travel retail presence.
The company has continued to build leadership capability through internal development and succession planning, reinforcing continuity while adapting its management structure to evolving business priorities. Ajay Kakkar, who joined earlier to lead the Premium On-Trade vertical, has continued to focus on expanding distribution presence across key channels and segments.
“At Radico Khaitan, our growth has always been powered by people. We deeply believe that true leadership is not imported, it is cultivated.

Empowering our next generation of leaders is not just a strategic priority, it reflects our faith in our people and our conviction that those who grow with the organisation are best placed to carry its values forward. This belief continues to strengthen our leadership bench and enables us to build a future-ready, globally competitive company with purpose and pride.” — Abhishek Khaitan, Managing Director, Radico Khaitan
