A man at the helm of one of the stronger Indian brands will talk on leadership in the city on Friday.

Rupinder Singh Sodhi, the managing director of the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation, which manages Amul, will be the speaker at the Bengal Chamber of Commerce Leadership Lecture Series, in association with The Telegraph.

Sodhi has been at the helm of the dairy behemoth for over a decade.

“Amul is an iconic Indian brand. It is also a purely India-bred FMCG. A lot of credit for that goes to R.S. Sodhi,” said Smarajit Purkayastha, the deputy director-general of the chamber.

The theme of Sodhi’s talk: Amul: Dairy to the World. The event will be held at Williamson Magor Hall, Bengal Chamber of Commerce, from 6.15pm.

Amul is the biggest producer of packaged milk in the organised sector and the biggest exporter of dairy products in the country. It supplies around 10 lakh litres of milk to Calcutta and its adjoining areas every day. Past speakers in the series include the likes of Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Shashi Tharoor and Sourav Ganguly.

“In 2020, we could not have a lecture because of the pandemic,” said Purkayastha.
