Grasim taps ABFRL's Sangeeta Tanwani as CEO Designate for textiles business
Tanwani moves from ABFRL—where she ran Pantaloons and incubated OWND! since 2018—to lead Grasim's textiles arm with a consumer-centric, brand-led growth mandate. The hire signals Aditya Birla Group's intent to reposition Grasim textiles from B2B fabric supplier toward branded, demand-led plays.
Grasim Industries has appointed Sangeeta Tanwani as CEO (Designate) of its textiles business. She moves from ABFRL, where she led Pantaloons and OWND! since 2018, to drive consumer-centric, brand-led growth across Grasim's textiles portfolio.
Why this matters
Leadership change follows Grasim's Rs 3,094 cr Lyocell capacity expansion at Harihar to 210K TPA by 2030—signaling a parallel push on both upstream fiber scale and downstream branded textiles.
Leadership signals steady at 308 in the last 90 days.
