Allied Blenders and Distillers Limited has appointed Dr. Pradipta Basu as Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Management Personnel effective April 15, 2026. Dr. Basu is a senior FMCG professional with over 25 years of experience, having previously worked at Radico Khaitan, United Spirits, ITC, and Godfrey Phillips. Concurrently, due to a change in reporting structure following this appointment, Mr. Arvind Mohta and Mr. Uday Rao cease to be classified as SMPs while continuing in their roles as Marketing Directors of the company.
The appointment of an experienced CMO signals strengthened marketing leadership at the whisky and spirits company. The cessation of SMP classification for Mr. Uday Rao and Mr. Arvind Mohta is a structural change, not a departure, as they retain their Marketing Director positions.
