Priya Nair has been appointed as the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL), marking the first time in the company's 92-year history that a woman has held this position. She is set to take charge on August 1, 2025. Nair is recognized for her experience in building global brands with Indian roots, signaling a strategic direction for HUL under her leadership. This leadership change comes amid a broader reshuffle in the Indian corporate sector, including L'Oreal India appointing a new chief and R Doraiswamy becoming CEO and MD of LIC effective July 14, 2025. Additionally, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has formed a committee to vet license applications, reflecting ongoing regulatory developments in the insurance industry.
