Apple ropes in Mili Kapoor as IPad product marketing lead
MUMBAI: In her 17 years of employment, Mili Kapoor has worked in various trades, verticals and product categories – as a jeans designer, a retail consultant, as a brand manager on oats, at a spirits company, at a global factual television channel, at a foods giant, at a global social media giant, and at a consumer electronics megacorp.
.Not only did Mili make her career choices such that she could give herself as wide an exposure as she could, she took the same path for her education as well.
She completed her high school in commerce from La Martiniere Girls High School, Kolkata. Then she went to do her fashion design course from NIFT, Delhi. Mili followed that up with an MBA in marketing and strategy from the Indian School of Business. Clearly, she wanted to educate herself to the fullest she could by getting herself certifications in Google, Meta, social marketing, content marketing, and programmatic 101.
That kind of a varied career, colourful background and her go-getting attitude are what excited the out-of-the box-thinking company called Apple to hire her as product marketing lead for the iPad in India.
That Mili is a fast learner is quite obvious. However, she has been a fast riser up the corporate ladder as well. Amongst the companies she then chose to work with include:
VF Corp (designer, Wrangler Jeans, 2007-08); Technopak Advisors (associate consultant, Sep 2008-Apr 2010). PepsiCo (sr brand manager Quaker Dairy, July 2011-Aug 2018), Pernod Ricard (sr mkg mgr, premium portfolio-north zone, Aug 2018-jul 2019); National Geographic Channel (AVP-mktg & brand strategy, July 2019-Nov 2020), Nestle (mktg lead-Purina petcare, Nov 2020-March 2022), Meta (Biz mktg mgr, March2022-Dec 2022), Nestle (mktg head, Nestle Profeesional, Dec 2022-Jul 2023), and Philips (consumer mktg leader, Jul 2023-Oct 2024).
