With the aim of further strengthening its leadership team, Kalyan Jewellers announced the appointment of its first chief executive officer as well as the expansion of its board to include two new directors.

Additionally, Salil Nair joins the company’s board as non-executive director, while Anil Nair has been named independent director.

According to the jewellery company, the announcements come at a time when the retail sector is seeing constant fluctuations due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic globally. “With these new appointments at the helm, the company aims to strengthen its growth strategy and drive creative and sustainable solutions during these challenging times,” the company stated.
