Sunil Alagh


Sunil Alagh is a renowned Indian business leader. He regularly appears on Indian TV and is on the board of multiple companies including Prasar Bharati India and United Breweries.
He is a former Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Britannia Industries, an Indian food products corporation. He joined Britannia in December 1974 and was the company's managing director for over a decade. He is credited with Britannia's rise to being India's largest biscuit company. He was later asked to quit by the Board of Britannia in June 2003, for alleged misappropriation of company funds for his personal use. According to Sunil Alagh it was because he had become so big that he became an irritant to the promoters of Britannia.
After his exit from Britannia, Alagh founded a consulting firm, SKA Advisors, which advises clients on marketing strategies. He was appointed as the President of the All India Management Association in 2004. He was also the host of The Job Show on CNBC India, the first televised job hunt on Indian television.
