Allana Consumer Products Limited has elevated Manish Bandlish to the position of Group Managing Director, giving him a wider mandate to lead the Group’s operations, strategic direction and growth initiatives across India and international markets.
Bandlish, who joined Allana Consumer Products as Managing Director in December 2025, will now take responsibility for coordinating the Group’s broader business strategy. His expanded role comes as the company looks to accelerate growth across its protein, poultry and consumer food businesses while increasing its presence in international markets.
Focus on India and International Markets
As Group Managing Director, Bandlish will oversee strategic initiatives across several important markets, including Malaysia, Vietnam, the UAE, Egypt and Ethiopia. The international mandate reflects Allana Consumer Products’ focus on expanding its operations beyond India and strengthening its position across global food markets.
The company is pursuing an ambitious growth strategy, with the Group targeting an increase in scale from approximately INR 24,000 crore to INR 40,000 crore by 2030.

Expanding Manufacturing and Consumer Food Capabilities
A major part of Bandlish’s mandate will involve supporting investments across the Group’s core businesses. This includes expanding manufacturing capacity, strengthening consumer food capabilities and developing value-added food businesses.
The company’s growth strategy is expected to combine increased production capacity with portfolio expansion and deeper market penetration. Investments in manufacturing infrastructure could allow Allana Consumer Products to serve growing demand across both domestic and international markets.
The protein and poultry segments are expected to remain important components of this strategy. At the same time, strengthening the consumer food portfolio could help the Group participate in higher-value segments of the food industry.
Bandlish Brings More Than Three Decades of Experience
Bandlish brings more than 30 years of experience across FMCG, food, retail and large-scale business operations. Before joining Allana Consumer Products, he held senior leadership positions at several established companies.
His professional experience includes leadership roles at Mother Dairy Fruit & Vegetable, JK Foods, METRO Cash & Carry, Subhiksha and Marico.
This background spans multiple areas of the consumer and food industry, including retail operations, FMCG businesses and food-related activities. His experience is expected to support Allana’s efforts to strengthen its consumer-facing businesses and execute its long-term growth plans.
Leadership Role Comes During Major Expansion
Bandlish’s elevation comes at a significant stage in Allana Consumer Products’ expansion agenda. The Group is looking to increase its overall scale by more than INR 16,000 crore by 2030, requiring continued investments across businesses and markets.
Achieving the target will depend on several factors, including manufacturing expansion, portfolio development, stronger consumer brands and international market growth.
Bandlish’s expanded responsibilities will therefore include coordinating growth initiatives across different businesses and markets while ensuring that investments align with the Group’s broader strategic objectives.
Focus on Long-Term Transformation
The appointment also forms part of Allana Consumer Products’ broader leadership and business transformation agenda. With the Group operating across multiple food-related segments and geographies, effective coordination between its domestic and international businesses will be important as it scales operations.
The company’s emphasis on protein, poultry and consumer food businesses reflects the growing importance of value-added food categories. Increasing consumer demand, changing dietary preferences and opportunities in processed and packaged foods could provide additional avenues for expansion.
For Allana Consumer Products, strengthening manufacturing capabilities and developing a more diversified consumer food portfolio will be central to its strategy. International expansion will also remain an important component as the Group seeks to build a larger global presence.
A Wider Mandate for the Next Growth Phase
Bandlish’s transition from Managing Director to Group Managing Director gives him a broader role in shaping Allana Consumer Products’ future direction. His responsibilities will extend across business operations, investments, manufacturing expansion and international growth.
With the Group targeting INR 40,000 crore in scale by 2030, the coming years are expected to focus on execution, capacity building and market expansion.
The elevation of Bandlish is therefore an important leadership development for Allana Consumer Products as it enters its next phase of growth. His experience across FMCG, food and retail businesses is expected to support the Group as it works to expand its operations, strengthen its consumer food portfolio and pursue opportunities across India and global markets.
