Tilaknagar Industries, an Indian-Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) manufacturer, has announced the appointment of Nishant Jain as its President – Sales.
With over 26 years of experience in Sales, Trade Marketing and Key Accounts, Jain has had a wide exposure to the alco-beverage sector in India, which ranks as one of the largest whisky markets across the globe.
Prior to joining TI, Jain was Chief Operating Officer, Spirits Business at Inbrew Beverages. Earlier, he worked with Allied Blenders & Distillers as well as Pernod Ricard India, leading sales and trade marketing initiatives nationwide.
Jain’s extensive experience with leading alco-bev companies will be a key driver of TI’s growth at a time when the company is gearing up to expand its presence in the whisky segment across the country, with the impending acquisition of Imperial Blue Whisky from Pernod Ricard India.
An independent sales vertical has been created at TI to establish the company’s leadership in the whisky category that accounts for nearly 65 per cent of the IMFL market in India.
Amit Dahanukar, Chairman & Managing Director, Tilaknagar Industries, said, “Nishant’s extensive experience and proven leadership will be instrumental in strengthening our growth journey, as we expand our regional and portfolio presence, following the Imperial Blue acquisition.”
Nishant Jain said, “I am excited to join Tilaknagar Industries at this transformative stage in its journey. With a vast portfolio of brands and a talented team, TI is well-positioned for growth, and I am eager to contribute to its next phase of expansion.”
