Praneeth Maddula
@praneethmaddula
I grow FMCG sales, distribution, and market share across large multi-state teams.
What I'm looking for
I've led sales, distribution, and market expansion across FMCG and consumer products for 16+ years, including P&G, Tata Consumer Products, Mondelez India Foods, GSK, Dabur India, and Nestlé.
At P&G Amazon Distributors, I manage 13 branches, 25 sales team leads, and 144 sales representatives serving a 26,000-retailer base. I drive value and volume targets, distribution infrastructure, trade expansion, product availability, visibility execution, and an annual turnover of ₹240 crore.
As State Head for Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh at Tata Consumer Products, I delivered 25% volume growth and 31% value growth in FY 2022, while increasing throughput per store by 31% and shelf space by 41%. I also led the merger process between Capital Foods and Tata Consumer Products and consolidated distributors and super stockists smoothly.
I've consistently earned recognition for sales execution, distribution growth, and brand performance at Tata Consumer Products, Mondelez, GSK, and Nestlé. I bring hands-on negotiation, customer management, team development, market research, and GTM planning to build profitable, sustainable growth.
