Coca-Cola India and South-West Asia has announced two changes to its leadership team. While Sarvita Sethi has taken over as vice-president, M&A (mergers and acquisitions) and new ventures from her earlier role of vice-president, finance, India and South-West Asia, Harsh Bhutani has been appointed to the position of vice-president, finance (chief financial officer), Coca-Cola India and South-West Asia.
The new structure is designed to enable the India and South-West Asia business to be a growth engine for The Coca-Cola Company by capitalising on emerging opportunities while continuing to build on talent development.
Announcing the change, T Krishnakumar, president, Coca-Cola India and South-West Asia, said, “We believe there are significant opportunities that lie ahead of us to grow our portfolio and meaningfully penetrate the market. It is our constant endeavour to strengthen the leadership team for a strong sustainable future growth and address developing business needs. It also reinforces our commitment towards investing in talent development.”
In her new role, Sethi will provide leadership to business incubation through alternate revenue streams in new ventures. She will also continue to lead the M&A priorities for our business in India and South-West Asia.
Sethi has garnered multi-functional experience throughout her career, including strategy, marketing, human resources and procurement, apart from finance, and she has also worked across several industries, including the retail, marketing and food service sectors.
In addition to this, she has international experience, having worked across both North-Western Europe and Central and Southern Europe, before her appointment in India and South-West Asia.
A qualified chartered accountant, Sethi holds a B Sc (joint honours) in Economics and Accountancy from City University, UK. This new appointment enables her to run a full-fledged business, thereby providing her the opportunity to further build upon her multi-functional experiences by gaining general management and operations exposure.
Bhutani has been appointed to the position of vice-president, finance (chief executive officer), Coca-Cola India and South-West Asia, effective August 1, 2019.
He currently heads finance and business services verticals for Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt Ltd as executive director and chief financial officer for over three years.
Bhutani has been an integral part of the finance function at Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt Ltd for over two decades and had joined HCCB in 1999 from ABB Limited.
He is a seasoned professional who has had the opportunity to work in the zonal and corporate finance teams of HCCB.
As a system resource, he brings in multi-faceted experience from almost all the domains of finance encompassing business strategy, planning and execution, treasury, tax and risk management, to name a few.
Bhutani is a commerce graduate from Delhi University and a qualified chartered accountant.
