Moving On
The fortnight saw two high-profile exits. PepsiCo India’s Chairman D. Shivakumar announced his move to Aditya Birla Group, where he will head business development and corporate strategy, and Facebook India’s Managing Director, Umang Bedi, too, announced his departure from the company. Shivakumar had joined PepsiCo in 2013, and has worked for Hindustan Unilever and Nokia earlier. Bedi, who has previously worked with Adobe and Samsung, had taken over from Kirthiga Reddy in 2016. Bedi will exit the company by the end of the year.
