MUMBAI: Anirban Basu, a seasoned hand with nearly two decades in the cut-throat world of nutrition, food & beverages, and CPG (FMCG), is heading back to his stomping grounds, taking up the mantle of general manager – India at Abbott.
With 18 years under his belt, Basu isn’t just a pretty face. His CV boasts multi-country P&L management, a fancy way of saying he knows how to make money, and lots of it, across borders. He’s also a dab hand at market strategy, building robust business models and assembling winning teams. Clearly, he’s no stranger to cracking the whip when needed, all while nurturing a passion for innovation and entrepreneurship.
Beyond the boardroom, Basu wears several other hats. He’s a keen mentor to young students and startup founders, perhaps whispering sweet nothings about the virtues of a balanced ledger. And, proving he truly puts his money where his mouth is, he’s an active angel investor in a clutch of early-stage D2C and tech businesses. Furthermore, he’s a board member of the American Chamber of Commerce, cementing his place as a mover and shaker in the subcontinent’s business echelons.
