foods division. It was aimed at leveraging the synergetic benefits of selling
food and beverages together since consumers tended to buy beverages and snacks
together. Five senior executives of PepsiCo India resigned from the company in 2015,
joining a stream of colleagues who had left the company following a change in
corporate strategy. Even though PepsiCo India had leadership development
initiatives in place and had created a talent pool, industry observers felt that

effective people strategies as well as change management initiatives TSR Murali
