Coca-Cola legal head Devdas Baliga quits

NEW DELHI: Coca-Cola’s India and South West Asia legal head Devdas Baliga is moving out of the company after a decade-long association.

The maker of Coca-Cola, Minute Maid juice and Kinley water said in an internal announcement that Ish Bali has been named business unit counsel to succeed Baliga.

Bali, with the company seven years, will assume his new role starting September’17.

A couple of months back, Sumanta Dutta, who was named vice-president – South West Asia (SWA) in January this year for five markets including Nepal and Bhutan but excluding India, had quit after over two decades, adding to the top-level churn at the company in recent months.
