Managing Director and CEO of Benetton India, Ramprasad Sridharan, is moving on to pursue a new professional opportunity. While continuing to oversee the business during the transition phase, Sridharan will ensure operational continuity while the company finalises its succession plan.
Claudio Sforza, CEO of Benetton Group, who is currently visiting India, said, “India has been a key market to Benetton’s growth journey and it will continue to remain a priority market for us. With our strong brand presence and continued consumer trust, we see clear opportunities for growth and will remain focused on building the business in a consistent and sustainable manner.” Lauding Sridharan’s contributions in the past four years, he highlighted his role in expanding Benetton’s retail presence and strengthening consumer engagement all over the country.
Sridharan’s leadership helped Benetton India expand its retail footprint in a significant way. Presently operating nearly 300 standalone stores, including both company-owned and franchise outlets, Benetton India has now moved beyond 1000 offline and online retail touchpoints nationwide.
Remaining steadily aligned with the company’s global vision, Benetton India is preparing for its next phase of growth and the leadership transition marks a significant moment for the brand at this time.
