Prem Dagar steps up as vice president at Omaxe Limited
FARIDABAD: Prem Dagar’s journey at Omaxe Limited has come full circle, with the real estate major elevating him to vice president, a role that crowns nearly two decades of on-ground experience and steady leadership.
Based in Faridabad, Dagar will continue to steer sales and marketing strategy for Omaxe’s key projects across Faridabad and the wider NCR region. His focus remains firmly on driving growth, strengthening market presence and translating footfalls into firm numbers, a skill he has quietly mastered over the years.
Dagar joined Omaxe in 2006 and went on to play a central role in marquee developments, including the World Street project in Sector 79, Faridabad, where he led sales and marketing efforts. After a long stint as general manager, he returned to the company in 2023 as additional vice president for sales and marketing, setting the stage for his latest elevation in January 2026.
An MBA graduate from Guru Jambheshwar University, with specialisation in marketing and international business, Dagar blends academic grounding with street-smart execution. His rise reflects both personal consistency and Omaxe’s preference for nurturing leaders from within.
In an industry known for sharp turns and shifting sentiment, Dagar’s promotion reads like a calm vote of confidence, one built not on headlines, but on years of closing deals and building trust.

Devyani International names Sandeep Anand, Robinder Singh in key roles
Pizza Hut and Costa Coffee businesses see leadership refresh from April
MUMBAI: Devyani International has strengthened its senior leadership bench with a fresh set of appointments across its key brands, Pizza Hut and Costa Coffee, signalling a sharper focus on growth and brand momentum.
The company has appointed Sandeep Anand as chief marketing officer and business head for Pizza Hut. His appointment, approved by the board via a circular resolution on April 3, follows a recommendation by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, as reported by CNBC-TV18. Anand will officially step into the role on April 6, 2026.
He takes over from Vijay Gogate, who currently serves as chief executive officer for Pizza Hut within the company’s operations. The move marks a strategic transition as the brand looks to sharpen its marketing and business playbook in a competitive quick service restaurant market.
Anand brings over two decades of experience across the food and FMCG sectors, with a strong track record in brand building and innovation. His career spans roles at major consumer-facing companies including Domino’s, Zydus Wellness, Zomato, GSK Consumer Healthcare, Reckitt and Ranbaxy, giving him a well-rounded perspective on both scale and agility.
Alongside this, Robinder Singh has been appointed business head for Costa Coffee and the company’s airport operations. He too will assume his new role on April 6, bringing more than 18 years of experience in operations, business expansion and customer experience transformation.
The twin appointments come at a time when Devyani International is doubling down on leadership depth to steer its portfolio through evolving consumer preferences and heightened competition. With fresh faces at the helm of two key verticals, the company appears set to brew up its next phase of growth with renewed energy.
