Dabur India says Mohit Malhotra has resigned as Global Chief Executive Officer and Whole-time Director, effective November 13, 2026. In his resignation letter, Malhotra cites personal interests and says he is taking on an overseas leadership role starting November 16, 2026. Dabur does not name his next employer and does not announce an interim replacement.

Dabur also appoints Herjit Singh Bhalla, currently CEO of its India business, as an Additional Director and Whole-time Director for five years from November 14, subject to regulatory approvals. Existing whole-time director P D Narang is described as providing strategic guidance across the group, including international oversight. One outlet adds that Malhotra has been with Dabur since 1994 and outlines his earlier roles and international expansion under his leadership.

Coverage varies in emphasis. Some reports focus narrowly on the resignation and the board appointments, while others connect the leadership transition to Dabur’s recent performance and the broader operating environment for consumer goods companies. One outlet also notes Dabur’s earlier leadership restructuring when Malhotra was made Global CEO in February 2026.
