India’s Parag Milk Foods has appointed PepsiCo executive Vimal Agarwal as its new CFO.

Agarwal, who has worked for PepsiCo for over 13 years, is set to join the publicly-listed dairy business on 21 December.

He is to replace Bharat Kedia, who resigned from Parag Milk Foods in July after two years with the company to join Indian media group Zee Entertainment Enterprises.

Agarwal joined PepsiCo in 2004 from ICI, working first as a plant finance manager at the US-based giant’s site in Roha.

His most recent role at PepsiCo has been head of finance for the company’s supply chain and manufacturing operations in India, a position he has held since July 2015.
