Grasim Hands the Brush to Sachin Sahay: Birla Opus Paints Gets a New CEO

Grasim Industries, part of the Aditya Birla Group, announced a pivotal leadership change for its fast-growing paints division, Birla Opus. Sachin Sahay, formerly Executive Vice President of Sales at ITC, steps in as CEO and Senior Management Personnel, bringing deep expertise in scaling FMCG distribution and brand growth across urban and rural India. This move comes after Rakshit Hargave's resignation in late 2025, with Managing Director Himanshu Kapania serving as interim CEO amid Birla Opus's aggressive expansion, including six manufacturing plants nationwide.
