Deepak Nitrite has announced the departure of Puneet Sharma, the SBU Head – Life Sciences, who has resigned from his role effective at the close of business on August 21, 2026. The move marks another leadership transition within the company as it continues to recalibrate its growth engines across its diversified portfolio.
In a resignation letter dated May 23, 2026, Sharma said he has decided to pursue an opportunity outside the organisation, a step he believes is the right one for the next chapter of his career. He expressed appreciation for the trust, autonomy, and exposure provided by the leadership and management at Deepak Nitrite and thanked them for the mentorship and support received during his tenure. He also committed to a seamless transition, working closely with the team to ensure ongoing business development, technology progress, and continuity for colleagues and partners.
Sharma’s role as SBU Head – Life Sciences encompassed the Life Sciences division across agrochemical and pharma intermediates, personal care, and emerging platforms. With no immediate successor named in the disclosure, the leadership transition will be watched closely as Deepak Nitrite navigates its growth strategy in its Life Sciences franchise and broader portfolio.
