The Story in Brief
Abhijit Roy has been appointed Managing Director and CEO of Berger Paints, having led the company since 2012. He joined from L'Oréal, where he worked as an Area Sales Manager.
Roy has received multiple industry honours, including being named in Business Today's Top 100 CEOs list for three consecutive years (2016-2018) and nominated for Forbes India Leadership Awards. In 2023, he won the Distinguished Alumni Award from IIM Bangalore. He also serves on boards of several group companies and industry bodies.
The Indian Opinion
Reports on Roy's appointment tend to reduce his career to a list of awards and board seats, but the real story is how a man with FMCG roots navigates paint industry battles against newer disruptors like Asian Paints and Grasim. The concrete test will be Berger's market share and margin in the next two quarters, numbers that will show whether strategy beats reputation.
