Devyani International Ltd announced three senior management changes effective May 2026. The Board re-appointed Mr. Manish Dawar as Whole-time Director (President & CEO) for a fresh 3-year term starting February 17, 2027, subject to shareholder approval at the AGM. The company appointed Mr. Gaurav Bhatnagar (former Hindustan Unilever and Amazon India executive) as EVP & COO – India, effective May 25, 2026. Additionally, Mr. Pradeep Das's designation was changed to Chief Growth & International Business Officer from the same date. The internal auditor VGG & Co. was also re-appointed for FY 2026-27.
The re-appointment of the CEO provides leadership continuity, while the new COO appointment brings experienced external talent from FMCG and e-commerce backgrounds, which could benefit Devyani's operational growth strategy.
