“After 21 incredible years at Nestlé, it’s time to close the chapter and move on. Thanks to all the wonderful people I have had the privilege to work with. I have had the immense opportunity to work in Nestlé India and Nestlé S.A. at a global level, across a hearty mix of iconic, premium, mainstream, popular and challenger brands. My years as the Global Head of Consumer & Marketplace Insights soaked me into the opportunity to go to over 35 countries around the world, understand different realities and contexts, define and find solutions to different live business questions and problems, anchor the spirit of consumer centricity, drive metrics that matter, analytics and much more,” he wrote in a note on LinkedIn.

“As Director, Strategy, Marketing, Communication of Nestlé India, I enjoyed every move that turned deep understanding into meaningful brand value for consumers we serve. These brands are part of everyday life for millions, and being entrusted with their stewardship has been both humbling and energizing. It has been an incredibly enriching journey and I will cherish the wonderful memories along this lifetime at Nestlé. What made this journey truly meaningful were the people and partnerships. I’m deeply thankful to our extended ecosystem of partners - Publicis Groupe, Google, Meta, McCann, WPP, Ogilvy, Hogarth, VML, Kantar, Ipsos, Nielsen and a varied set of medium and small enterprises - who consistently raised the bar,” he added.

“I believe that the most meaningful leadership outcomes are never measured alone, the real impact happens fundamentally and quietly, ownership is everything, and success is a team sport. Thanks again to all the people and teams that have been a part of the journey,” concluded Mukherji.

Mukherji was associated with Nestlé for nearly 13 years. Before his latest role, Mukherji was the Global Head of Consumer & Marketplace Insights for Nestlé, based in Switzerland. He also held positions at Hindustan Unilever Limited, working in Consumer Insights and Brand Management.
