The Hindu BusinessLine reported that Agarwal has more than 22 years of experience in finance, accounting, reporting, audit and controls. The change puts continuity in the finance function ahead of the next results cycle.

Finance transition comes first

Sandeep Batra, the current executive director and CFO, is scheduled to retire in 2027 after completing his five-year term, while Managing Director Sudhanshu Vats said the appointment should support a smooth transition. The leadership move is the clearest company-specific development before the second-quarter review.

Pidilite's operating base remains substantial. The company says its net sales reached INR 14,553 crore, with 8,835 employees, more than 80 countries served, and 68 manufacturing units in India on its corporate website.
