Unilever's Chief People & Transformation Officer Nitin Paranjpe has announced his retirement. Paranjpe will depart from the company after a stint of 37 years. The news has been shared by Nitin Paranjpe on his LinkedIn profile.
 
“At the end of this month, I will be retiring from Unilever after 37 years – almost to the day. I joined what was then called Hindustan Lever Ltd back in June 1987 on a
management training scheme… and I never left. It is hard for me to stress quite how much of an achievement it felt to be offered a role in HLL, which even back then was one of the most iconic companies in India. It was a role that nearly anyone in India would have been thrilled to get – and that hasn’t changed,” he wrote.
 
“Today, Unilever remains one of the most sought after employers in India. Once I was here, I really never thought beyond three years or so, because every role I reached felt like a new success. I have always said that when I was made Head of Sales I could have retired, happy with where my career had got to. And it’s true! Everything beyond that role has been purely a bonus,”
 
“And of course, the cliché is true: retirement really isn’t anything more than the start of a new innings. But I will speak more about that in a future post,” Paranjpe wrote.
 
 
Paranjpe was promoted to the role of Chief People & Transformation Officer in January 2022. Before that, he was the Chief Operating Officer.
