Mumbai: At its meeting on March 20, 2023, the Board of Directors of CEAT, an RPG Group company, appointed Anant Goenka as Vice Chairman of the company which will be effective on 1 April 2023, following Anant Goenka's decade-long tenure as MD & CEO.
The move also progresses the Board’s succession plan for the company with Arnab Banerjee, currently chief operating officer, taking charge as the new MD and CEO.
Anant Goenka, son of RPG Group Chairman Harsh Goenka, will now take up strategic functions at the group level for its next stage of growth. Anant is an MBA from Kellogg School of Management and a graduate in Economics from the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.
