After six years at Nestlé India, including two-and-a-half years as Category Marketing Head for Maggi Noodles, Kanika Juneja has stepped down from her role.

Juneja shared the development on LinkedIn, reflecting on her time with the company and her contribution to the continuing journey of the Maggi brand.

Six Years at Nestlé India

Juneja joined Nestlé India in 2020 and spent six years with the company, including the last two-and-a-half years leading category marketing for Maggi Noodles.

Reflecting on her departure, Juneja said she leaves with the satisfaction of having given the chapter her best and of having contributed to the story of the iconic brand.

Highlighting Key Maggi Milestones

During her tenure with Maggi, Juneja highlighted two initiatives in particular.

One was the 50-year commemorative stamp issued by India Post, marking a milestone in Maggi’s journey in India.

The other was the MAGGI × UNIQLO collaboration, which marked an expansion of the brand into apparel through a first-of-its-kind partnership.

Experience Across Major Consumer Brands

Before joining Nestlé India, Juneja was Senior Brand Manager for Horlicks at GSK Consumer Healthcare, which was later acquired by Hindustan Unilever.

Her career spans more than 14 years and includes experience with organisations such as Dabur, ITC and Siemens, alongside her tenure at Nestlé India.

Moving On from Maggi’s Marketing Leadership

Juneja’s departure marks the conclusion of her current chapter with Nestlé India after six years with the company. Her tenure included a period of continued brand-building activity for Maggi, including milestone-led initiatives and collaborations that extended the brand beyond its traditional category.

She now moves on from her role as Category Marketing Head for Maggi Noodles, following her contribution to the brand’s marketing journey in India.
