Mumbai: In a key leadership move, Dabur India Ltd has appointed Sriram Padmanabhan as the Head of its Healthcare Business, effective July 2, 2025. He will be succeeding Philipe Joseph Haydon, whose cessation from the company will be effective from the close of working hours on July 1, 2025.
Padmanabhan, a seasoned business leader with over 21 years of experience, brings a wealth of expertise across marketing, sales, strategic planning, and P&L management. He has previously worked with prominent organisations such as Abbott Nutrition, GSK Consumer Healthcare, Kimberly Clark Lever, Times Internet, and Dabur Foods Ltd. Most recently, he led Danone India as its Marketing Director, steering the brand’s innovation and consumer engagement initiatives in the nutrition space.
His return to Dabur marks a significant homecoming, aligning with the company’s strategic priorities of strengthening its position in the healthcare segment—a pillar of its diverse FMCG portfolio. The healthcare vertical includes Ayurvedic and natural products across categories such as digestive health, immunity, respiratory wellness, and more.
Padmanabhan holds a B.E. in Electronics & Communication from MD University (2001) and completed his Post Graduate Diploma in Management from Management Development Institute (MDI), Gurgaon in 2003.
