The Coca-Cola Company is undergoing a strategic pivot, with Henrique Braun set to succeed James Quincey as CEO in 2026, who will transition to Executive Chairman. This leadership change coincides with an intensified focus on operational efficiency and cost management. Its Indian bottling subsidiary, Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages (HCCB), announced approximately 300 job cuts on December 24, following a 73% profit decline in FY25. Conversely, Coca-Cola India (the parent entity's operations) reported a 46.3% consolidated profit rise for the same period.
