Alok Gupta, Managing Director of ABD, stated, “As we transition into a future-ready organization, our leadership structure must mirror our strategic ambitions. The realignment of Jayant and Ramki allows us to bifurcate our focus: Jayant will spearhead our long-term strategic investments and digital evolution, while Ramki brings his unparalleled institutional knowledge back to the helm of our financial stewardship.
This dual-engine financial leadership ensures that as we scale our luxury portfolio and expand our manufacturing footprint, we maintain the highest standards of operational excellence and value creation for our stakeholders.”
