Radico Khaitan’s Chief Operating Officer, Amar Sinha, has resigned from his position citing personal reasons. Sinha will now take on the role of Managing Director at Allied Blenders & Distillers. He had previously held the positions of Executive Director and CEO at BDA, now known as Allied Blenders & Distillers Ltd.
In his resignation letter, Sinha expressed his desire to be relieved of his responsibilities by March 31, 2026. Sinha had joined Radico Khaitan in 2017 as the Chief Operating Officer and acknowledged the privilege of contributing to the company’s growth journey.
Last May, Radico Khaitan faced backlash over its whisky brand ‘Trikal’ and subsequently withdrew it. The decision came after concerns were raised about the brand’s name and imagery allegedly hurting religious sentiments. The company, in response, emphasized its respect for Indian citizens’ voices and discontinued the brand following an internal review.
Radico Khaitan, recognized for brands like 8PM and Magic Moments, reported a significant increase in profit during Q3. The company’s profit surged by 62% to Rs 1.55 billion ($16.9 million) for the quarter ending December 31, compared to Rs 954.9 million in the previous year. Additionally, revenue from operations rose by 22% to Rs 54.24 billion.
