He joined Dabur as a Management Trainee in 1994 and has since held multiple leadership roles across marketing and sales functions.

Over the years, Malhotra has served as CEO of Dabur International (Dubai-based) before taking charge as CEO – India Business and later becoming CEO of the company in April 2019.
Under his leadership, Dabur expanded its global footprint and strengthened its position as a transnational consumer goods company with presence in more than 100 countries.
Earlier, as Business Head for the MENA region and Egypt, he was responsible for topline and bottomline performance, brand investment planning, profitability management, and quarterly sales reviews with country managers and key distributors.
