Himanshu Khanna quits as CMO from Raymond’s Lifestyle Business

Himanshu Khanna has quit as the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) – Lifestyle Business at Raymond Limited. There is no confirmation on his next move.

Khanna joined Raymond in 2021 to lead marketing for the company’s flagship lifestyle division, which includes some of India’s most iconic menswear and apparel brands such as the Raymond, Park Avenue, ColorPlus, Parx  and Ethnix By Raymond.

A seasoned marketer, at Raymond he was instrumental in refreshing the communication strategy, driving digital adoption, and strengthening consumer connect for the brand at a time when India’s fashion and lifestyle market was undergoing rapid transformation.

With nearly three decades of experience, Khanna’s portfolio spans leadership roles across PepsiCo, Nestlé India, Wrigley, GSK, Mondelez International, and RP–Sanjiv Goenka Group. His ability to blend brand storytelling with data-driven marketing made him one of the key voices in Raymond’s ongoing shift toward a more consumer-first, digitally engaged positioning.

At Raymond, Khanna played a central role in amplifying the company’s repositioning efforts within the lifestyle space, moving beyond its legacy identity of suiting and fabric dominance. Under his watch, the brand embraced a more contemporary tone, targeting younger, style-conscious consumers through integrated campaigns, influencer collaborations, and content-led storytelling.

Khanna is credited with helping Raymond’s lifestyle division sharpen its identity as an experiential brand that connects tradition with modernity — an important direction for a company that’s been a cornerstone of India’s textile and fashion ecosystem for nearly a century.

Prior to Raymond, Khanna served as Business Head for FMCG at the RP–Sanjiv Goenka Group, where he led growth initiatives across product categories and consumer touchpoints. His earlier stints with global FMCG giants gave him a strong foundation in marketing strategy, brand communication, and retail innovation, skills he carried into the fashion and lifestyle domain.
