Technology has reached the personal care category and BSC is leading this change from the front. Solving consumer problems with technology at the core is key for me. I am looking forward to building one of India’s most loved men’s skincare brand and already seeing signs of scale in my early days.”
Bombay Shaving Company (BSC) CEO & founder Shantanu Deshpande said, “Chirag is an accomplished marketer and experienced leader. He has expertise in implementing metrics-driven online marketing strategies, managing a P&L, growing businesses and building out committed and high-performing teams. He brings a great balance of tech and consumer to BSC. With his knack of understanding the industry, I am confident that he will achieve greater milestones and further strengthen the brand.”
