A day after completing his tenure as the CEO & MD of Hindustan Unilever Limited, Sanjiv Mehta on Tuesday took to his LInkedIn profile to share an emotional note on his incredible decade-long journey with the company.

“HUL is an emotion that has been a big part of me for the last ten years, a sentiment that my wife Mona Mehta and I will forever cherish. The memories we have made and the friendships we have forged will always have a special place in our hearts,” Mehta wrote.

“Many of you have been asking me how I feel about leaving HUL, and the fact is, parting is such sweet sorrow - the enjoyable part is I look forward to my next innings, and of course, the sad part is the Goodbyes. As I sign off, I take comfort in the fact that I'm leaving HUL, making it stronger than before and our impact on society and India much larger,” he added.

He further wrote, “I also express my profound appreciation for the unwavering dedication and the unputdownable spirit of the people of HUL and everyone who has been part of my journey. All our people gave their best to me, and today, I celebrate each of them. With a heart of gratitude, I bid farewell to my workplace and karma bhumi.”

Wishing all the best to the new MD & CEO Rohit Jawa, he wrote, “I will always be cheering for HUL and Rohit Jawa and his team from the sidelines as I watch the business grow to achieve more remarkable victories in the years to come.”
