Huhtamaki India Limited is shifting its financial leadership, with Amit Gupta stepping in as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) from April 28, 2026, following a recommendation from the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the Audit Committee. The Board approved the appointment at its April 27, 2026 meeting, as Anil Kaul, who had been serving as CFO since February 27, 2026, will cease to hold the CFO and KMP roles at the end of today, April 27, 2026, and will transition back to his prior function as Finance Controller. The company notes that Kaul will continue to contribute in a financial capacity during the transition period and beyond in his Finance Controller role.
Amit Gupta is described in the filing as a Chartered Accountant with a B.Com (Hon.) from Delhi University and more than two decades of industry experience. He brings a track record of steering organizations through complex business environments to create sustainable stakeholder value. His background spans leadership across Asia, the Middle East and Africa within FMCG, Pharma, Consultancy and Consumer Health sectors, with prior stints at Procter & Gamble Health, Merck Group, Sanofi India, Colgate-Palmolive India, ITC Limited in India and Singapore.
The leadership change signals Huhtamaki India’s intent to maintain continuity in financial stewardship while injecting seasoned seniority into the CFO role. As the company continues to navigate growth and evolving market dynamics, Gupta’s appointment is positioned to align financial strategy with execution across the organization while Kaul’s transition preserves institutional knowledge and governance during the handover.
Stakeholders will be watching how this refreshed CFO leadership translates into financial discipline, strategic investments and sustained value creation as Huhtamaki India advances its growth agenda.
