GN Bajpai commented: "The Covid pandemic has changed the scene for Future Consumer. On behalf of the Board, I am delighted that Future Consumer has such talent within its organisation. Samson Samuel has shown creativity and resilience in the turnaround of Nilgiris, and we are confident that he will address the challenges posed by the pandemic and actively recalibrate the assets of the group to satisfy its new commercial reality. He will be reporting to the Board, as representing all stakeholders of the Company and will be able to rely on my and Kishore Biyani's support as Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Board respectively. 11 Samson Samuel commented: "I am honored to have been approached to serve as Chief Executive Officer of Future Consumer.
