Colgate India appoints Manish Anandani as MD and CEO
Colgate-Palmolive (India) Ltd has named Manish Anandani as its new managing director and chief executive officer. He will take over from Prabha Narasimhan on September 28 for a five-year term, subject to shareholder and other approvals.
Anandani returns to Colgate after a stint at Kenvue, where he was managing director for India and South Asia. He brings three decades of experience across sales, marketing and general management. Narasimhan will step down on September 27 and move to a regional marketing role as executive vice president for the parent company's Asia-Pacific division.
Anandani first joined Colgate in 2005 and held roles in India, Indochina and the corporate office before leaving in 2018. The Economic Times reports his appointment as a straightforward leadership change. Both sources carry the same details from the company's exchange filing.

The coverage is uniform straight reporting, focused on the executive change, timelines and Anandani's career arc. A careful reader should note that this is a routine corporate succession handled as a personnel announcement. The real story to watch is Narasimhan's promotion to a regional role, which signals that the parent company values India talent for wider Asia-Pacific leadership.
