Baby & Mom Retail appoints Sucharita Reddy as CFO to scale growth with sharp financial stewardship
MUMBAI: As Baby & Mom Retail Pvt. Ltd. preps for a growth spurt across the Indian consumer landscape, it’s calling in seasoned financial muscle to keep things in check. The company has roped in Sucharita Reddy as its new chief financial officer (CFO) to lead its finance engine through a phase of ambitious expansion, operational rigour and digital transformation.
Reddy, who brings over 15 years of experience across startups and large enterprises, has held leadership roles at Myntra Jabong, Amazon and EV startup Blusmart. Her deep expertise in finance, business operations and scalability will now power Baby & Mom Retail’s journey across baby care, skincare, pet care and home products.
“I am excited to join Baby & Mom Retail at a time of rapid growth. My mission is to create a resilient and agile finance ecosystem that not only strengthens our foundations but also acts as a strategic enabler for business growth. Finance should go beyond compliance and control; it must empower decision-making, fuel innovation, and support sustainable scaling”, expressed Reddy.
In her role, Reddy will steer the company’s financial planning, performance tracking and data-led decision-making. She will also focus on building a future-ready finance function that enables smarter inventory management, sharper customer acquisition, and scalable infrastructure—especially relevant as Baby & Mom Retail builds out its omnichannel and direct-to-consumer footprint.
“Sucharita’s appointment aligns with Baby & Mom Retail’s vision of strengthening operational excellence while scaling smartly across omnichannel and D2C markets. Her experience at companies like Myntra Jabong, Amazon and BluSmart equips her with a nuanced understanding of inventory management, customer acquisition economics, and platform scalability, all crucial for a fast-growing consumer brand ecosystem like Baby & Mom Retail”, said Baby & Mom Retail founder & CEO Shish Kharesiya.
Her leadership will also drive a finance culture built on ownership and accountability, where financial decisions fuel innovation as much as they guard the bottom line.
This leadership move comes at a pivotal moment. Baby & Mom Retail has been expanding its brand portfolio with new launches like Corvell, a healthcare equipment label, and continuing growth across flagship offerings including Oyobaby, Newish, Amorite for pets, Redcop, Mattress Protector, and Gadda Co.
The numbers may stay in spreadsheets, but the impact is set to show on balance sheets—and beyond.

Hyundai India posts record April sales with 17-per cent growth
Domestic sales hit 51,902 units, exports stand at 13,708 units
MUMBAI: Hyundai is clearly shifting gears and April has put the pedal firmly to the metal. Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has reported its highest-ever domestic sales for the month of April, clocking 51,902 units in April 2026, marking a 17 per cent year-on-year growth. The milestone sets a strong tone for the new financial year, signalling sustained demand momentum across its portfolio. Alongside domestic performance, the company recorded export volumes of 13,708 units for the month, underlining its continued strength in overseas markets.
The growth has been driven by a mix of refreshed models and special editions across segments. Recent launches and updates including the Exter, Verna, Ioniq 5, Creta Summer Edition, Grand i10 NIOS Vibe Edition and Venue Knight Edition have helped keep the line-up competitive in an increasingly crowded market.
A standout performer was the Venue, which recorded its highest-ever monthly domestic sales of 12,420 units. The model’s 5-Star Bharat NCAP safety rating, including for the VENUE N Line, appears to have bolstered consumer confidence, reflecting a broader industry shift where safety credentials are becoming a key purchase driver.
Tarun Garg, Managing Director and CEO, HMIL, said the company has carried forward recent momentum into the new financial year, with product interventions and safety-focused positioning playing a central role in driving growth.
The numbers suggest Hyundai’s strategy is ticking multiple boxes fresh product cycles, safety-led messaging and steady export performance. If April is any indication, the company isn’t just starting the year strong, it’s aiming to keep the engine running at full throttle.
