In a major leadership shift, Dhanuka Agritech has appointed Mahendra Kumar Dhanuka as its new Chairman. This strategic move is expected to drive the company’s growth and reinforce its position in the agrochemical industry.
This transition marks the culmination of Dr. R.G. Agarwal’s distinguished career at the age of 75, during which he played a pivotal role in establishing Dhanuka Agritech as a leading force in the agrochemical sector. Prior to his new appointment, Dhanuka served as Vice Chairman and Managing Director. Meanwhile, the company’s board has honored the outgoing MD Dr. Agarwal by naming him Chairman Emeritus.
Reflecting on the company’s evolution, Dr. Agarwal commented, “The forty-four-year journey of the Dhanuka Group has been extraordinary. From modest beginnings, the company has grown into a leading force in the agrochemical sector. Despite the challenges faced by the industry in 2023-24, Dhanuka achieved remarkable results. Now is the right time to pass the leadership to a new generation. Over the past five years, I’ve carefully planned this transition, and I’m pleased to see it realized.”
The newly appointed Chairman, Mahendra Kumar Dhanuka, expressed his gratitude, stating, “Dhanuka Group’s respected position in the agrochemical sector is a testament to Dr. Agarwal’s visionary leadership. His resilience and ability to drive consistent growth have laid a robust foundation. With his continued guidance as Chairman Emeritus, we are confident in building upon this legacy and leading the company to even greater heights.”
The leadership change comes at a critical time as Dhanuka Agritech aims to expand its presence in the rapidly evolving agrotech sector. The new Chairman and MD bring a wealth of experience and are expected to steer the company toward innovative solutions that align with sustainable agricultural practices.
Under the new leadership, Dhanuka Agritech is poised to enhance agricultural productivity in India through advanced crop protection products, with a strong focus on sustainability. This transition underscores the company’s commitment to growth and to addressing the challenges facing Indian agriculture.
