Announcing the appointment, Christina Ruggiero, CEO, Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages, says in a press release, "We are excited to have Dinesh Jadhav take on this role and am confident that he will leverage his rich experience of over two decades to usher in a culture of agility and innovation across our very large manufacturing organisation.
