Colgate-Palmolive announces leadership changes including the appointment of Manish Anandani as the new managing director and CEO for Colgate-Palmolive India. The company also elevates Prabha Narasimhan to an executive vice president role responsible for Marketing in Asia-Pacific.

The announcements, reported by multiple outlets, are framed as part of Colgate-Palmolive’s broader business direction in the region. Business Line adds that the transition coincides with Colgate-Palmolive India stepping up its premiumisation strategy aimed at driving higher-value growth in the oral care market. Times of India and The Hindu focus primarily on the leadership appointments, without detailing the strategic rationale.

Across sources, the core facts remain the same: Anandani is named to lead India operations, while Narasimhan’s responsibilities expand to a regional marketing executive role spanning Asia-Pacific. The reports do not provide further detail on timelines or immediate operational changes.
