Ashis Behera joins Bajaj Auto as Brand Manager - EBU after over 11 years at Berger Paints India
Our read
Behera's move is more likely a routine brand-team hire than a strategic shift, but a second consumer-sector hire would signal a deliberate EBU brand build-out.
For operators
Bajaj Auto has hired Ashis Behera as Brand Manager - EBU from Berger Paints India, where he spent over 11 years, so retail and brand operators can expect EBU brand work to draw on paints-sector marketing experience.
Watch
A second external brand hire in Bajaj Auto's EBU before the next quarterly results would mean a team build-out, not a backfill, and a harder talent contest for rivals.
The report,
Bajaj Auto gains a marketer who was most recently Senior Brand Manager at Berger Paints India. Earlier in his career, Behera worked at Tata Consultancy Services as an Assistant Systems Engineer.
