"The inflation on key input materials of Wheat, Palm Oil, Cocoa etc. remain on an upward trajectory, which we mitigated through judicious price increases, focused brand investments, and fixed cost leverage, helping us sustain operating margins while maintaining competitiveness," Berry added.

“We are grateful for Amit’s outstanding leadership and significant contributions to Britannia. His vision and dedication have been instrumental in redefining marketing efforts for the company and institutionalising new benchmarks. Amit leaves a lasting legacy of impact and will be missed by the entire Britannia team. We wish him every success in his future endeavours," said Rajneet Kohli, CEO and Executive Director, Britannia Industries said.
