In a strategic move aimed at furthering its growth trajectory, Epigamia, a leading player in the FMCG space, has announced the elevation of Rahul Jain, Co-Founder & COO, to the prestigious role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO). This transition marks a pivotal moment for the company as it continues its journey towards innovation and market expansion.
Armed with a wealth of experience, Jain steps into the CEO role with a robust background in finance and a successful track record in brand building. His vision and leadership are expected to steer Epigamia towards greater success, building upon the solid groundwork laid by his predecessor, Rohan Mirchandani. The former Co-founder & CEO has now taken on the mantle of Executive Chairman, focusing on overarching strategic initiatives.
An alumnus of IIT Bombay and ISB Hyderabad, Rahul Jain commenced his career in finance with Deutsche Bank’s Credit Structuring team. His entrepreneurial journey began with the launch of Doctor Moo, an organic milk brand, before he joined forces with Rohan Mirchandani to establish Epigamia, driven by a shared passion for premium dairy segment brands.
Commenting on the appointment, Rohan Mirchandani expressed his confidence in Rahul’s ability to lead Epigamia, stating, “We are happy to have Rahul as our CEO whose strategic business acumen and dedication to Epigamia’s values make him the perfect fit for this role.”
In his new capacity, Rahul Jain will spearhead Epigamia’s comprehensive business strategies, focusing on enhancing the company’s competitive edge, identifying novel opportunities, and fostering innovation. The brand has remained committed to innovation, continuously expanding its product portfolio in the dairy segment, pioneering the introduction of Greek Yogurt as a category in India, and striving to bring top-quality products to its consumers.
Rahul Jain conveyed his excitement about the new position, expressing his humility and anticipation for a journey driven by innovation and the shared passion of the team. He emphasised the collective goal to reshape the consumer product landscape and establish a legacy that positions Epigamia as the premier choice among consumers.
Alongside Rahul’s elevation, Ankur Goel, a founding member of Epigamia, has been promoted to the position of Chief Operating Officer (COO), where he will oversee critical functions related to the company’s supply chain and business intelligence.
Epigamia, currently retailing across approximately 20,000+ touchpoints in over 30 towns, boasts a diverse portfolio of 24 SKUs available in major modern trade chains and e-commerce platforms. The restructuring of leadership aligns with Epigamia’s commitment to innovation, quality, and customer-centric growth, setting the stage for an exciting phase of expansion and consolidation in the highly competitive FMCG sector.
