IndoBevs has appointed Nupur Girdhar as Head of Human Resources as the alcoholic beverage company steps up its expansion across India and overseas. The appointment was announced by the company in a statement.
Girdhar, a senior HR leader with nearly two decades of cross-sector experience, will oversee the company’s people strategy, organisational development, and culture agenda. IndoBevs said the leadership move reflects its focus on building a future-ready workforce to support its next phase of growth.
The company, which has positioned itself among India’s fastest-growing alcoholic beverage players, is scaling operations in both domestic and international markets. Executives said the HR function will play a critical role in strengthening capability, agility and leadership pipelines as competition intensifies.
Girdhar has previously held leadership roles at Citibank, Bharti Infratel, Apollo Tyres, SAR Group and BC Jindal Group, where she worked on talent management, succession, organisation design and culture-building. Her background spans banking, telecom, manufacturing and consumer sectors — a breadth the company believes will support its transformation efforts.
In a statement, Girdhar said IndoBevs was entering “an exciting stage” marked by ambition and category reinvention. She added that her priorities would include building a strong talent foundation, fostering an agile and inclusive culture, and supporting leaders “as we scale with purpose and clarity.”
Sameer Mahandru, Founder of IndoBevs, said Girdhar brought a strategic understanding of how people, culture and capability building shape long-term performance. He described her approach as instrumental to positioning IndoBevs as a future-ready, people-first organisation.
The company said the appointment underscores its intent to tightly align human capital with business strategy. As IndoBevs expands its footprint, the HR function is expected to strengthen leadership development, accelerate capability building and embed culture across the organisation to support sustained growth.
