Britannia Industries Appoints PM Srinivas as VP HR Amid Leadership Transition

Britannia Industries has appointed PM Srinivas as Vice President–Human Resources (Designate), as part of a planned leadership transition aimed at strengthening its people strategy. 

Srinivas will join the organisation on April 21 and assume full responsibilities from May 16, following the exit of Ritesh Rana, who is stepping down to explore opportunities outside the company.

The transition comes at a time when Britannia is aligning its leadership structure with long-term growth and transformation priorities, with a renewed focus on building a robust and future-ready workforce.

Srinivas brings over two decades of experience from Procter & Gamble, where he most recently served as Vice President and HR Head for the Indian subcontinent, along with being an Executive Director on the board of Gillette India. 

In this role, he led people strategy across manufacturing facilities, R&D centres, and distribution networks, contributing to large-scale organisational transformation and workforce integration efforts.

During his tenure at P&G, Srinivas was closely involved in initiatives such as organisational redesign and digital HR transformation, including the implementation of platforms like Workday. He also played a key role in strengthening leadership pipelines and improving employee engagement practices across the business.

In his prior roles, including Business and Organisation Strategy Director in Indonesia and Supply Chain HR Head for Southeast Asia, he drove regional HR strategies, supported business expansion, and built high-performing teams in diverse markets.

His experience spans multiple facets of HR, including supply chain and sales organisation strategy, compensation and benefits, and HRIS transformation—reflecting a strong track record of building scalable and future-ready organisations.
