Govt asks media to refrain from speculative reports on high-level vacant posts
NEW DELHI: The media was today asked by the Government to refrain from writing news articles based on speculation.
The Finance Ministry appeared to be irked by reports in certain section of the media about the outcome of selection process for the post of MD & CEO of five Public Sector Banks (PSBs) recently.
The Ministry said most of these items are based on speculation that is far from truth.
Such news items based on speculative names create unnecessary confusion not only among the candidates who are part of the selection process but also among the members of public at large.
It may be mentioned that the process of selection is kept confidential and, therefore, the result can only be known after the approval of the Appointments Committee of Cabinet (ACC).

Emami names Dhruv Aggarwal as chief growth officer
Former Bain partner steps in as FMCG firm sharpens growth playbook
MUMBAI: Emami Limited has appointed Dhruv Aggarwal as its chief growth officer, effective 25 March 2026, following the resignation of Giriraj Bagri.
Aggarwal joins the FMCG major from Bain & Company, where he most recently served as partner. With over two decades of experience across consulting and strategy, he brings a global perspective shaped by work across India, the US, the UK and Germany.
During his tenure at Bain, Aggarwal advised consumer, retail and media companies on large-scale transformations, business turnarounds and growth strategies. He was also closely involved with India’s startup ecosystem, guiding early-stage ventures on scaling and digital expansion, while supporting private equity and venture capital firms on investment decisions.
His earlier stints include a brief role at Barclays Capital and operational experience at Jindal Power, giving him a mix of financial and industry exposure.
Academically, Aggarwal holds an MBA from Indian Institute of Management Bangalore and has also been associated with University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign as a PhD candidate and teaching assistant.
The appointment comes at a time when Emami Limited is looking to sharpen its growth strategy in a competitive consumer market. With a seasoned strategist now at the helm of growth, the company appears set to double down on transformation and expansion in the months ahead.
