Nykaa names Chetan Sharma as VP- group company secretary & compliance officer

MUMBAI: Nykaa has strengthened its boardroom bench with the appointment of Chetan Sharma as vice president, group company secretary and compliance officer, based in Mumbai.

In his new role, Sharma will work closely with Nykaa’s boards, promoters and senior leadership, acting as a trusted hand on the tiller for enterprise governance, board effectiveness and regulatory compliance. From complex corporate actions to steady compliance stewardship, his mandate spans the full lifecycle of governance in a fast growing, listed digital business.

Sharma brings with him more than a decade and a half of experience across pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and financial services. Most recently, he spent over six years at Emcure Pharmaceuticals, where he served as group company secretary and compliance officer, leading high-stakes assignments across mergers and acquisitions, valuations, listings and group-wide restructuring.

His career also includes senior roles at Cadila Pharmaceuticals, Varroc, Zuventus Healthcare, ECS Corporation and Neesa Group, giving him deep exposure to corporate law, capital markets, IPOs and regulatory liaison. Early in his career, he worked closely on multiple public offerings and takeover assignments, building a strong foundation in transaction-led governance.

Alongside his corporate responsibilities, Sharma serves as director of the corporate advisory board at Lovely Professional University, where he contributes to academic and industry engagement.

At Nykaa, his appointment signals a sharper focus on governance at scale, as the beauty and fashion platform continues to evolve from a disruptor into a mature corporate institution. For a company built on trust with consumers, investors and regulators alike, Sharma’s steady, seasoned presence in the boardroom could prove to be a quiet but crucial advantage.
