Titan Company Ltd has announced key leadership changes set to take effect from August 2025, marking a strategic shift in its core consumer businesses.

Leadership Appointments

Arun Narayan will take over as CEO of Titan’s Jewellery Division, succeeding Ajoy Chawla, who is set to become the company’s Managing Director in January 2026.
Kuruvilla Markose, currently CEO of Titan’s International Business, will assume charge of the Watches and Wearables Division, replacing Suparna Mitra.

Strategic Implications

Narayan’s elevation comes after years of steering brand strategy and retail excellence across Tanishq and Zoya.
Markose brings global experience and digital acumen, expected to drive innovation in Titan’s watch portfolio, including Fastrack and Sonata.

Organizational Context

These transitions align with Titan’s succession roadmap as CK Venkataraman prepares to retire as MD in December 2025.
The company aims to sustain momentum across jewellery and watches, which together contribute over 85 percent of its revenue.
