Between 2018 and 2021, Anita headed Global Finance and Procurement Operations at Unilever, leading a 2,500-member global team across seven centers. During this period, she successfully delivered large-scale digital and process transformation programs leveraging cloud, AI, ML, and RPA, while maintaining high levels of operational resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. She is also widely recognized for building inclusive, high-performance leadership teams and championing diversity, equity, and talent development.
Her earlier experience includes senior CFO roles at Hindustan Unilever Limited, where she led the Home and Personal Care business—contributing nearly 75% of the company’s revenues—and played a pivotal role in major acquisitions, portfolio transformation, and cost excellence initiatives. She has also served as CFO of AstraZeneca India and held private equity consulting and M&A leadership roles.
With deep expertise across business strategy, finance transformation, M&A, global operations, and emerging markets, Anita Bhat-Zutshi’s appointment significantly strengthens Wipro Enterprises’ leadership bench and underscores the company’s focus on disciplined growth, transformation, and long-term value creation.
