Henkel announced that it has elevated Shilip Kumar as president of its India business. Kumar will succeed Jeremy Hunter, who led the Indian market for over five years and has now moved to Shanghai as president of Henkel China. Hunter had relocated to India after the company decided to divest its Indian FMCG division to Jyothy Labs and focus on the adhesives and cosmetics businesses. Kumar, who joined Henkel in 2011, will continue as business director of the transportation and metal SBU (strategic business unit) in India, Middle East and Africa (IMEA) region.
