A folded newspaper and a dinner plate with cutlery, for Aarti Yadav's move from consumer brand PR to Sodexo India

Aarti Yadav has joined Sodexo India as communications lead, based in Mumbai, from October 2026. She moves from Tata Consumer Products, where she spent more than seven years in brand public relations. Yadav announced the move on LinkedIn.

  • Company: Sodexo India
  • Role: Communications lead
  • Location: Mumbai
  • Previously: Brand PR at Tata Consumer Products, from August 2019

Aarti Yadav at Tata Consumer Products

Yadav joined Tata Consumer Products in August 2019. Her work covered consumer brand PR, crisis management, advocacy, media relations and influencer engagement across Tata Tea, Tata Salt, Tata Sampann, Tetley, Tata Coffee, Tata Soulfull and Organic India, as well as the company's beverage and digital-first brands.

Before that, she was a senior manager at Publicis Groupe, working with clients including P&G, Marico, Cipla, Godrej, Parag Foods and Kottaram Agro Foods.

From Newsroom to Brand PR

Yadav began her career in television news. She was a senior correspondent at Times Network, covering entertainment and lifestyle for Times Now, and earlier reported for NewsX and TV9 Maharashtra. Her newsroom work included field reporting, interviews, anchoring and production.

What Aarti Yadav Said

"The opportunity to tell stories that connect purpose, people, and impact is what makes communications so rewarding, and I look forward to this new challenge," said Yadav. She said she looks forward to shaping strategic narratives and strengthening Sodexo's communications in India, and pointed to food as the link between her consumer brand work and Sodexo's services across workplaces, hospitals and schools.

Sodexo provides food and facilities services to workplaces, hospitals, schools and other institutions, so its communications sit closer to business audiences than the consumer brands Yadav has worked on. Her mix of newsroom experience, agency work and in-house brand PR covers media relations, crisis handling and storytelling for both.

Sodexo has not issued a statement on the appointment, and no reporting line has been disclosed.
