Srinivasan will oversee Eurofragance's operations in India. His mandate includes driving business growth and strengthening customer relationships.

Srinivasan brings over two decades of leadership experience. His career spans the specialty chemicals, fragrance, and consumer goods sectors globally. Before joining Eurofragance, he served as Global Business Head at Godrej Industries (Chemicals). In that role, he managed a worldwide portfolio and reported significant revenue and profitability increases.

Eurofragance's India Presence
Eurofragance established its presence in India in 2018. The company has since built a local team exceeding 50 employees. This team serves clients across the fine fragrance, home care, and personal care categories. Joan Pere Jimenez, Eurofragance CEO, welcomed Srinivasan.
Jimenez stated Srinivasan’s "extensive experience, global perspective, and proven leadership" would be instrumental. He added these qualities would help build on the company's momentum in India.

Implications for Asia's Beauty Sector
This appointment demonstrates Eurofragance's focus on the Indian fragrance market. For Asia's beauty industry, this move suggests continued investment in local manufacturing capabilities.
