MUMBAI: After a nine year stint, Godrej Appliances vice president marketing Ramesh Chembath has called it a day at the white goods major. The launch of the NXW, Godrejs’ premium category of refrigerators, was possibly Chembath’s last media appearance as a part of Godrej.
Chembath served his tenure and silently quit last week. His next move still remains unknown.
When contacted by Indiantelevision.com, Chembath confirmed the news, but refused to say anything further.
With vast experience in brand management, communication, product management, sales and P&L, Chembath was helming a strategic role in one of India’s leading consumer durable companies until last week.
Prior to Godrej, Chembath worked with Draft FCB Ulka and the Aditya Birla Group.
