About

PepsiCo has a substantial operation in the Indian market, which is one of its top five globally. It has become one of the pre-eminent brands in India on the back of a number of high-profile marketing campaigns, including their former sponsorship of the Indian Premier League cricket competition, one of the most watched sporting tournaments in the world. Vinod Kaushal is general counsel for PepsiCo’s substantial and complex operations in India, having recently advanced into this role after spending six years at the company as senior legal director. Prior to joining PepsiCo, Kaushal had spells at Marico and multinational conglomerate Nestlé, demonstrating an excellent track record in the consumer goods sector. Kaushal’s rise to general counsel at PepsiCo has come at an opportune time for the company, as 2016 has seen its revenues rise 13% in India. This is an ideal environment for Kaushal to once again prove his corporate legal abilities belong at the upper echelons of Indian business.
