Ronojit Biswas to take charge as GSK Pharma CFO
Juby Chandy exits for Apac finance role; shares slip 0.97 per cent
MUMBAI: GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Limited on Monday named Ronojit Biswas as whole-time director and chief financial officer for a three-year term starting 1 April, 2026, signalling a steady internal succession at the drugmaker’s India arm.
Biswas will replace Juby Chandy, who steps down as whole-time director and CFO on 11 March, 2026, after being elevated to lead Apac finance within the wider GSK Group.
A company lifer, Biswas joined GSK in India in 1999 as a management trainee and has since built a 25-year career across India, Vietnam, Singapore, Brazil and the UK. Most recently, he served as senior finance director – global product strategy, based in Singapore.
He has previously held CFO roles in Brazil and Vietnam and was regional controller for GSK’s international region, overseeing financial reporting, performance management and internal controls: a portfolio that sharpened his exposure to global compliance and capital discipline.
Biswas holds a postgraduate degree in management (finance) from Management Development Institute, Gurugram, and a bachelor of commerce (honours) from St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata.
Shares of the company were trading at Rs 2,545.00, down Rs 25.00, or 0.97 per cent, at 12:40 pm, reflecting a muted market response to the boardroom reshuffle.

Thermocool rolls out Navratri campaign on trains and stations
Nine day digital push blends devotion and storytelling for travellers
NEW DELHI: Thermocool Home Appliances has launched a high-visibility digital campaign during Navratri, turning railway stations and trains into storytelling spaces that blend culture with brand engagement.
The nine-day campaign spans key high-footfall locations including Katra, Anand Vihar, Gorakhpur, Prayagraj and Moradabad, along with the Vande Bharat Express on the Delhi-Katra route. Travellers encounter the campaign across station screens, concourses and onboard infotainment systems, making it hard to miss.
What sets the initiative apart is its narrative approach. Each day of Navratri is dedicated to one of the nine forms of Goddess Durga, with digital content explaining the significance and stories behind each day. The result is a campaign that does more than advertise, it informs and engages passengers in the middle of their journeys.
For director of sales and marketing Tanuj Gupta, the idea was to go beyond visibility. He noted that while Navratri is widely celebrated, awareness of its deeper meaning is often limited, and the campaign aims to bridge that gap in a simple and accessible way.
By tapping into high-traffic transit spaces, Thermocool is placing its message where audiences naturally gather, from busy platforms to train compartments. The repeated exposure across these touchpoints is designed to build familiarity while creating a more meaningful connection with consumers.
In a season marked by devotion and festivity, the campaign finds a clever middle ground. It turns everyday travel into a cultural moment, where storytelling travels alongside the passenger.
