Her career journey includes senior roles at Reckitt (formerly Reckitt Benckiser) and Unilever, where she managed diverse multicultural teams across Asia and Europe, handling categories from hygiene to personal care. She began her professional journey as a Brand Manager with Titan Company, before moving to Unilever where she rose to become Senior Brand Manager for Lakmé.
With her extensive cross-sector and global expertise, Dasgupta is expected to drive Pernod Ricard India’s next phase of growth in both marketing and international business development.
