    Tata Consumer brews a change as Sharat Verma takes the top role

    MUMBAI: The kettle’s whistling at Tata Consumer Products and this time, it’s not just the tea. The company has announced a leadership shake-up, with veteran marketer Sharat Verma set to take over as president of packaged beverages ford India & South Asia (including Organic India) from 1 December 2025.

    Verma, who moves from Procter & Gamble, brings over two decades of brand-building prowess, having helmed iconic names like Ariel, Tide, Gillette, Oral-B, and Olay across India, ASEAN, China, and the Middle East. At P&G, he led the 0.5 billion dollars Fabric Care business, clocking a 15 per cent CAGR in one of the most competitive categories. His “Share The Load” campaign remains a landmark in cause-driven brand storytelling, marrying social commentary with sales success.

    The appointment follows the resignation of Puneet Das, who exits after eight years at Tata Consumer to pursue new opportunities. Das, who played a pivotal role in the packaged beverages portfolio, leaves behind a strong growth legacy. His departure is effective 3 November 2025.

    With Verma’s appointment, Tata Consumer is signalling a renewed focus on consumer-led innovation and storytelling that resonates across Bharat and beyond. The move also reflects a broader trend of FMCG majors courting talent with both local insight and global polish.

    In a statement, Tata Consumer Products ltd. said the leadership changes form part of its ongoing transformation to strengthen its core businesses and unlock growth across markets.

    For Tata Consumer the company that put the world’s most loved chai on millions of tables this is more than a handover. It’s a fresh blend of strategy and storytelling, brewed perfectly for its next growth chapter.

Designed by dental professionals Oral-B Criss Cross introduces a leading innovation in toothbrushes with advanced Criss Cross bristling technology. The brand also welcomes Indian cricketing sensation Rohit Sharma, as its newest brand ambassador through the latest campaign that has been conceptualized by DDB Mudra.

By embracing the Criss Cross innovation, users can enjoy a thorough and efficient clean, ensuring better overall oral health versus an ordinary flat trim brush.

    P&G India VP & category head – Oral Care Golalkrishnan Kalianna shared, ” There exists a common perception about all toothbrushes functioning the same way, leading to consumers being unaware about selecting the right solution. 49%* consumers are currently dissatisfied with the cleaning their brush provides. We recognize the need for innovation and education. Oral B’s Criss Cross technology, priced starting Rs 50, offers consumers a revolutionary choice for achieving better oral hygiene. We are also thrilled to introduce our latest campaign with the ace Indian cricketer – Rohit Sharma, highlighting Oral-B’s ongoing dedication to transforming oral care for every individual and educating them on making the right decision for their oral care. With this breakthrough, we firmly believe that Oral-B Criss Cross will empower consumers to get to healthier smiles.”

    Adding on, Gopal, shares his thoughts on associating with Sharma, “Joining forces with Rohit Sharma is an exciting milestone for Oral-B. Renowned as the indisputable ‘Hitman’ of cricket for his powerful sixes on the field, his impact finds its parallel in Oral-B Criss Cross, effectively knocking germs out of the park. As one of India’s most beloved sports icons, Rohit’s dedication to his craft and his pursuit of excellence aligns with Oral-B’s commitment to delivering exceptional oral care solutions that delight our consumers, thus making him the perfect choice for us.”

    Expressing his enthusiasm for the partnership, Sharma shared, “Recognizing the pivotal role of oral health in our overall well-being, I’m thrilled to join hands with a legacy brand like Oral-B. Their innovative approach, to integrate tech into Oral-B Criss Cross, not only enhances dental care but brings healthier smiles. With this new campaign, I hope everyone realizes the benefits and prioritizes their oral hygiene.”

    DDB Mudra Group CCO Rahul Mathew said, “Oral-B’s Criss Cross bristles revolutionized the way a brush cleans your mouth.
