The Godrej family's strategic split of its conglomerate, as outlined in a recent filing, is set to create two distinct entities: Godrej Enterprises and Godrej Industries.
Pending regulatory approvals, both companies will retain the esteemed Godrej brand.
Under this restructuring, Godrej Enterprises Group (GEG) will be helmed by 75-year-old Jamshyd Godrej, who assumes the roles of Chairperson and Managing Director. Joining him in leadership is his niece Nyrika Holkar, who was appointed as Executive Director.
GEG's diverse portfolio encompasses aerospace, aviation, defense, and liquid engines, among other sectors. With his extensive experience from leading Godrej & Boyce, a legacy company founded in 1897, Jamshyd Godrej brings a wealth of expertise to this new venture.
On the other hand, Godrej Industries Group (GIG) will be chaired by 73-year-old Nadir Godrej, overseeing a roster of listed companies, including Godrej Industries, Godrej Consumer Products, Godrej Properties, Godrej Agrovet, and Astec Lifesciences. He will be supported by his brother Adi Godrej and their immediate family in controlling GIG.
Adi Godrej, aged 82, transitioned from the chairmanship of Godrej Industries in August 2021, passing the baton to Nadir Godrej. Looking ahead, the leadership at GIG will be inherited by Pirojsha Godrej, son of Adi Godrej, who is slated to succeed Nadir Godrej in August 2026.
