Anil Chugh leads the company’s expansion in the food and emerging-category businesses and has been heading the Food Business since 2022 at Wipro.
A veteran of the consumer goods industry, Chugh joined Wipro Consumer Care in 1990 and has spent more than three decades across sales, marketing and business leadership roles. He rose through the organisation from a Management Trainee to leadership positions including head of the India Personal Care business and later President – Consumer Care, India & SAARC.
