Rajesh Mishra COO, Pernod Ricard India O ver his fifteen-year career, Mishra has grown in ranks at Pernod Ricard and is now the Chief Operating Officer. The last two have been during the pandemic, which he acknowledges, “ ... is both humanitarian as well as economic crises of unimaginable magnitude, affecting everyone in one way or the other.” However, that hasn’t stopped the company from getting four of its units certified platinum under the ‘Zero Waste to Landfill’ certification. The company also ran programs in 1,000 villages near their 25 plants. For Mishra, sustainability is about, “Small things such as switching off lights, laptops, or electric equipment when not in use, being conscious about using water.” He’s excited to see the zeal that the youth have towards their passion, and is happy that, “Every year, many young talents join Pernod Ricard family, and each one of them is always brimming with confidence, courage, unconventional ideas, and an eagerness to create impact.” “For me, to remain connected and staying true to the spirit of conviviality is a great source to re-energize and rejuvenate!” Sabyasachi Mukherjee Fashion Designer & Director, Sabyasachi Couture Private Limited S abyasachi Mukherjee is a powerhouse in the fashion industry for decades now.
