Keventers ropes in Shaurya Prabhat as CEO

Keventers, operated by Super Milk Products Pvt. Ltd., has appointed Shaurya Prabhat as its new Chief Executive Officer. He takes over from Agastya Dalmia, the founder who brought the brand back into the spotlight for modern consumers.

Shaurya has been associated with Keventers since 2017 and was most recently serving as Director and Chief Strategy Officer. He initially joined the company to handle business development when it was largely a franchise-driven business. Over the years, he expanded his role to oversee areas like strategy, marketing, HR, operations, and overall business performance, playing a key role in shaping the brand’s direction.

Before joining Keventers, Shaurya worked at The Smart Cube (now part of WNS), where he advised global clients across sectors such as retail, banking, pharma, and oil and gas. He holds a degree in Economics from the University of London and a master’s degree from the University of Warwick.

Speaking about his new role, Shaurya Prabhat said he is grateful for the trust placed in him by the board. He shared that his focus will remain on growing the business and strengthening the brand while maintaining strong values. He also expressed excitement about the opportunities ahead for the company.

In the near term, Shaurya plans to expand the brand by opening around 70 new outlets within a year. The company also aims to grow significantly over the next few years. Apart from its core outlet business, Keventers is looking to expand into retail and FMCG, quick commerce, and institutional sales as part of its long-term plan to build a broader portfolio of food and beverage brands.

Commenting on the leadership change, Agastya Dalmia said he has worked closely with Shaurya for many years and has seen his leadership and commitment firsthand. He credited Shaurya for playing a major role in key decisions and helping the company navigate challenges such as the pandemic, business restructuring, and fundraising. He added that he is confident Shaurya will successfully lead the brand into its next phase of growth.
