Restaurant India News: Moët Hennessy India Appoints Siddharth Suri as MD to Strengthen Position in Luxury Wines & Spirits

Moët Hennessy India, part of French luxury conglomerate LVMH- Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, has appointed Siddharth Suri as Managing Director, India, marking a key leadership change as the company accelerates its growth strategy in the country’s luxury wines and spirits segment.

In his new role, Suri will oversee the company’s portfolio of globally recognized brands, including Dom Pérignon, Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, Hennessy, Glenmorangie, Belvedere, Chandon, and Volcan. His mandate will focus on developing a long-term strategy, strengthening consumer engagement, and driving innovation to align Moët Hennessy’s offerings with India’s evolving luxury landscape.

Suri brings over 24 years of experience in the FMCG and wines & spirits industries, with leadership roles at PepsiCo, Pernod Ricard, Moët Hennessy, Diageo, and most recently The Coca-Cola Company (HCCB). At Coca-Cola, he led the Ready-to-Drink (RTD) alcoholic beverages category, establishing a new segment in the Indian market.

This appointment also marks Suri’s return to Moët Hennessy India. In his earlier stint as Sales Director for India and South Asia, he played a key role in expanding the company’s footprint across domestic and travel retail markets.

Anne Claire Delamarre, President, Asia Pacific, said, “India is a market of immense potential, with a new generation of consumers embracing luxury, craftsmanship, and global experiences in unique ways. We are deeply committed to continuously expanding our presence here, and Siddharth’s appointment reflects that ambition. His strong leadership, proven track record, and deep understanding of both Moët Hennessy and the Indian consumer landscape make him ideally placed to lead our next phase of growth in this exciting market.”

Suri stated, “It is an honour to return to Moët Hennessy India at such an exciting inflection point. India is one of the most dynamic luxury markets in the world today, and I look forward to leading the transformation of the company into its next chapter of growth. By building stronger consumer engagement, customer connections, fostering innovation, and driving sustainable business practices, we will continue to set new benchmarks for Moët Hennessy in India.”

This leadership move signals Moët Hennessy India’s intent to deepen its presence in a growing luxury market. With Suri’s experience in both global and domestic markets, the company is expected to scale its market share and introduce new consumer experiences, blending local relevance with international standards.
