She will succeed Krishnan Venkateswaran, who will step down from the role upon his retirement at the end of June 2026. The decision was approved by the company’s Board of Directors following a recommendation from the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, as outlined in a regulatory disclosure.

In her new role, Kishore will be responsible for steering Titan’s digital transformation agenda, shaping enterprise technology strategy, and driving innovation across key areas including customer experience, supply chain, and overall business operations.
