Public leadership
Pradhyumna Ingle
President, Henkel India
Public leadership listed in the dataset; the role is not necessarily the India GCC head.
Research overview
Henkel AG & Co. KGaA is a German multinational founded 1876, headquartered in Düsseldorf, organized around Adhesive Technologies (Loctite) and Consumer Brands (Persil, Schwarzkopf), reporting roughly €20.5B FY2025 revenue and about 47,200 employees worldwide (differs materially from on-file $24.1B/19,894).

No public evidence supports a captive shared-services or technology GCC in Navi Mumbai or Pune - those are commercial HQ, manufacturing, and applied-R&D sites. Henkel's genuine GCC-like entity (Global Technology Center, digital/IT, 200+ staff) is in Bengaluru, a city not listed on this record.
Location rationale
Navi Mumbai hosts Henkel Adhesives Technologies India's commercial/country headquarters. Pune (Kurkumbh, Hinjewadi) hosts manufacturing and an R&D/adhesives service center. These are commercial, manufacturing, and applied-R&D rationales - no evidence ties Navi Mumbai or Pune to a captive shared-services/tech GCC; Henkel's actual digital/tech Global Technology Center is separately located in Bengaluru.
