Prabha Narasimhan elevated to APAC role

During Prabha Narasimhan’s four-year tenure at the helm of Colgate-Palmolive India,
she steered the company through a transformative growth journey, reinforcing its
position as the market leader in oral care. Under her leadership, the company doubled
down on strategic premiumisation, accelerating premium portfolio growth to five 
times the pace of the broader market, while delivering volume-led growth, industry-
leading profitability, and consistent top-line momentum.

Her tenure was marked by a sharp pivot toward digital transformation, quick-commerce
expansion, and consumer-centric innovation, alongside a renewed push for category
expansion by driving oral hygiene habits across urban and rural India. She also 
strengthened the brand’s purpose-driven impact through flagship initiatives like
Colgate _Bright Smiles, Bright Futures_ and the _Oral Health Movement_.

Prabha brings extensive experience across markets, categories and geographies, with
a proven track record of building brands and driving category growth. Before joining
Colgate-Palmolive India, she held senior leadership roles at Hindustan Unilever,
including as Executive Director for Home Care, where she led businesses across diverse
consumer categories. Her experience spanning India and international markets, combined
with her expertise in brand building and category development, positions her strongly
for her new Asia-Pacific mandate.
