About Mahesh Kanchan

I am a firm believer that innovative thought process, speed & agility in decision making, entrepreneurial spirit and pristine executions will make organisations win and stand out of the pack in today’s tough and competitive world. Though I am a Sales and Marketing professional, I always wear a business hat, before a functional one. My passion is to bring in thought leadership to drive consistent, competitive, and profitable growths in consumer facing business’. Have demonstrated the same with turnaround of brand Kissan and robust growths on brands like Huggies, Knorr & Blue Band at Unilever. Have also displayed a start-up mindset by building strong organisations and brands from scratch at Hershey India & Carlsberg India. More than 20 years of proven track record in various leadership roles across South Asia and bringing in meaningful transformations in big & respected organisations like Unilever, Carlsberg, Hershey, DHL Express, UB Group (McDowell & Co.), and Bayer.
