DeVANS Modern Breweries appoints Vikas Bhatia as chief operating officer
Our read
DeVANS Modern Breweries will more likely than not use Bhatia's commercial and market-development experience to widen distribution before it adds plants beyond its four units.
For operators
DeVANS Modern Breweries has named Vikas Bhatia, a 30-year veteran of Red Bull, SABMiller, Diageo, Radico and Kraft Heinz, as COO to run commercial capabilities, market development and operations, so expect a new senior counterpart on alcobev range and distribution talks.

Why the change matters
By bringing in Vikas Bhatia, with 30+ years across Diageo, Radico, SABMiller, Red Bull and Kraft Heinz, as COO, the four-plant, 1961-founded DeVANS strengthens its operating bench, which is a governance and capability signal rather than a deal trigger.
