The title says Perfetti Van Melle elevated Karan Budhiraja to Category Head Marketing, but the sources available for this article do not confirm the appointment or when it happened. The Advertising Club’s EMVIES jury rosters list him as a Group Product Manager at the company in 2023 and 2024; those listings provide earlier role context, not proof of a later promotion.
What is known about Karan Budhiraja’s role?
The Advertising Club’s 2023 EMVIES jury roster lists Budhiraja as Group Product Manager at Perfetti Van Melle. Its 2024 roster lists him as Group Product Manager at Perfetti Van Melle India. Neither listing identifies him as Category Head Marketing or confirms a subsequent appointment.

Has Perfetti Van Melle confirmed the appointment?
No promotion announcement or direct confirmation from the company or Budhiraja is established by the sources cited here. The title should therefore be treated as an unverified claim, not as independently confirmed personnel news. The available role listings also do not establish the date or circumstances of any change.

Perfetti Van Melle India describes its business as manufacturing sweets and confectionery, fruit jellies, and fruit bars on its careers page. The company’s people page says its approach to development includes cross-functional movements, internal job postings, and planned role rotations. That is general company context; it does not show that Budhiraja’s reported move occurred or that it was an internal promotion.

What would verify the new title?
A company announcement or direct confirmation from Perfetti Van Melle or Budhiraja would establish whether he holds the Category Head Marketing title and when the change took effect. Until then, the dated EMVIES listings are useful only as records of his previously published role.
