👩‍💼 Priya Nair: Redefining Leadership at Hindustan Unilever


I still remember seeing her name flash across financial news: “Priya Nair becomes CEO of Hindustan Unilever (HUL).” It wasn’t just another corporate shuffle. It felt like a shift.


On August 1, 2025, Priya steps into history as the first woman ever to lead HUL — India’s biggest FMCG giant. That’s not just cool; it’s game-changing.

📊 HUL Share Price Gets a Lift

Markets don’t usually cheer so loudly — but this time, they did. HUL’s stock saw a noticeable jump, with prices touching ₹2,520 the same day the news broke.


Metric Value

HUL Share Price - ₹2,520 (July '25)

Market Cap - ₹5.92 lakh crore

Dividend Yield - 1.71%

P/E Ratio - 49.84

Investors clearly see Priya as a growth architect, not just a figurehead.


🛤️ Her Journey: Ground-Up, No Shortcut

Back in 1995, she joined HUL as a Consumer Insights Manager — fresh, curious, and ready to learn. Over the next 30 years, she didn’t just work jobs — she built brands.


Some of her standout contributions:


🧴 Took brands like Dove, Comfort, and Rin to new heights


🎯 Designed campaigns that won hearts (and awards)


🌍 Led Unilever’s global Beauty & Wellbeing wing


💼 Managed a €13B portfolio across 20+ regions


Her style? Strategic, authentic, and quietly powerful.


🧠 Why Priya Nair’s Appointment Isn’t Just Symbolic

💪 First female CEO in HUL’s 92-year history


🔄 Comes during a competitive and tech-disrupted time


🌐 Experience spans India and global markets


Chairman Nitin Paranjpe summed it up best:

“Priya has had an outstanding career… She’ll take HUL to the next level.”

🔚 Final Thoughts

Priya Nair didn’t crash through a glass ceiling — she quietly rewired it. Her story isn’t loud, but it echoes. It’s not about being first, it’s about changing what comes next.

HUL now isn’t just leading in soaps and shampoos. It’s becoming a benchmark in inclusive and visionary leadership.
