In a significant leadership change at Westlife Foodworld, Akshay Jatia has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective March 18, 2025. He takes over from Amit Jatia, who steps down from the role of Key Managerial Personnel (KMP) but will continue to serve as a director on the board. Despite this shift in the leadership position, both Amit and Akshay Jatia will remain directors at Westlife Foodworld.
