Intense challenges in one of our biggest developing markets

Our locations in this region

India is one of the biggest of all developing markets for Reckitt Benckiser and this growth is driven from our central office in Gurgaon. From here we support sales offices in Mumbai, Bangalore and Kolkata, and our total commercial business numbers 375 employees. We also have six manufacturing facilities in Tamil Nadhu, Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh, which together employ a further 270 people directly.

What do we do?

We already have a very strong presence in India with instantly recognised brands like Dettol, Mortein, Harpic, Lysol and Cherry Blossom. As the market continues to develop rapidly, the potential for growth is enormous. Brands like Vanish, Veet and Air Wick have all enjoyed successful launches in recent years. Our core business functions are marketing, sales, supply chain and R&D. We specifically look for highly ambitious and talented sales professionals, production managers and quality specialists.

What can you expect?

This is an intense and very fast-moving environment that will give you the chance to work with some of the best professionals in our industry. As well as the wealth of commercial challenges, India is increasingly seen as a source for high-quality talent for the Company as a whole. You’ll find proof of this in the number of exceptional people who transfer to other global sites each year. Outside of work you’ll find no time to be bored either: in India a rich cultural heritage combines with advances in science and technology to produce a heady mix of tradition and change. In the midst of this progress and excitement, our people continue to provide strong support to disadvantaged children through Save the Children initiatives in Kolkata and elsewhere.

Our graduate programme

Our Management Trainee Programme is designed for talented students with post graduate qualifications in business management, marketing, supply chain and HR. We focus on the top 10-12 business schools in the country and conduct selection programmes on-campus from January to March. Occasionally we also accept applications from exceptional graduates from other schools. For roles in finance we recruit fresh Chartered Accountants who have completed Articleship Training.
