  • BoAt: up from about Rs 20 crore in FY25
  • Nestle India: Sales +20.5% · Profit +36.3%

Why the change matters

Nothing here for suppliers: a CEO appointment at Vini Cosmetics changes no listings, shelf space, platform allocation or trade terms on any retailer.

What to watch next

  • A new senior marketing or sales leadership appointment before the end of FY27 would mean Gadgil is rebuilding the commercial team, and agencies and distributors face a reset.
  • Departures of senior Vini executives after the CEO change
  • Changes to Vini's distributor or modern-trade partner terms
  • New product launches or portfolio pruning under Gadgil
