Speaking on the appointment, Puspen Maity, CEO, TechnoSport, said, “TechnoSport is entering an important phase of hyper growth, where building a strong and distinctive consumer brand will be critical to unlocking our next chapter. Aditya brings a rare combination of brand-building experience and commercial leadership, with a proven ability to transform businesses across categories and channels. His experience in building brands, scaling businesses and connecting marketing with measurable business outcomes makes him the right leader to help shape TechnoSport’s future.”
Aditya Gadiyar, Chief Marketing Officer, TechnoSport, said, “TechnoSport has built a strong foundation by democratising activewear for the Indian consumers, and the opportunity now is to build on that momentum with a sharper and more distinctive consumer proposition. I am excited to join the brand at this stage of its journey and work with the team to strengthen the brand experience across every consumer touchpoint, while building marketing as a meaningful driver of growth and long-term brand value.”
Aditya’s appointment marks a strategic addition to TechnoSport’s leadership team as the company continues to strengthen its consumer brand, while expanding its EBO presence to ~130 stores, its express format to 25 outlets, while chasing a revenue target of Rs 10 billion for FY27.
