Hero MotoCorp appointed Vivek Anand, formerly DLF CFO, as CFO effective March 1, 2024, and Whirlpool Asia CHRO Rachna Kumar as CHRO from January 2. Current COO and CHRO Mike Clarke will leave by October 2024.

Why this matters

The leadership changes predate Hero MotoCorp's record FY26 premium, EV and European retail push and its resurfaced ₹3,200-crore Andhra Pradesh commitment, including a Tirupati parts centre.
