Alok Gupta, Managing Director of ABD, stated, “As we transition into a future-ready organization, our leadership structure must mirror our strategic ambitions. The realignment of Jayant and Ramki allows us to bifurcate our focus: Jayant will spearhead our long-term strategic investments and digital evolution, while Ramki brings his unparalleled institutional knowledge back to the helm of our financial stewardship.

This dual-engine financial leadership ensures that as we scale our luxury portfolio and expand our manufacturing footprint, we maintain the highest standards of operational excellence and value creation for our stakeholders.”

In a separate filing, ABD announced a strategic realignment of its senior finance leadership. Jayant Manmadkar, currently chief financial officer, will transition to the newly created role of group finance director, effective 2 February 2026. The company also announced the return of Ramakrishnan Ramaswamy as chief financial officer. Ramaswamy brings over three decades of experience and has been associated with ABD for more than 14 years, having played a key role in the company’s July 2024 IPO.

This transition is designed to bolster the Group's next phase of growth, entry into the luxury segment via its new division, ABD Maestro, and to oversee its value-accretive capacity expansion and backward integration program, the company said.

Separately, Allied Blenders and Distillers said it will invest up to Rs 54 crore in its subsidiary Minakshi Agro Industries LLP to set up a bottling facility and acquire land at its Aurangabad distillery in Maharashtra. The arm’s-length related-party transaction will not result in any change in ownership and is aimed at enhancing manufacturing capacity to support rising domestic and export demand.

In January 2026, the company announced the acquisition of a non-operational distillery with a bottling facility in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh. The deal, valued at up to Rs 110 crore, will enhance backward integration, expand bottling capacity, and strengthen margins and supply chain efficiency, supporting long-term growth and operational flexibility.

Allied Blenders and Distillers (ABD) is engaged in the manufacturing, procurement, and sale of alcoholic beverages.
