A dual mandate has taken shape at Cosmo First as the group expands leadership responsibility across its pet care and corporate strategy functions. Saurabh Jain has taken charge as Chief Executive Officer of the company’s pet care division, Zigly, while also assuming responsibility for corporate development at the group level.
In his role at Zigly, Jain will oversee business expansion and guide the next phase of growth for the pet care vertical. Alongside this, his corporate development mandate will include driving strategic initiatives across Cosmo First, with a focus on long-term growth planning and the evaluation of potential mergers or acquisitions.
Jain will work closely with Pankaj Poddar, Group Chief Executive Officer of Cosmo First, and Neeraj Jain, Group Chief Financial Officer, as the company aligns leadership oversight across business development and strategy.
Commenting on the leadership change, Pankaj Poddar said the group sees value in Jain’s ability to manage complex assignments across different business environments. He noted that Jain’s experience and leadership approach are expected to contribute meaningfully to Cosmo First’s long-term objectives.
Jain brings over sixteen years of experience spanning the packaging films sector, investment banking, and corporate strategy. Prior to joining Cosmo First, he served as Global Chief Executive Officer for overseas business at Jindal Films, and has previously been associated with organisations including SB Packaging, Wodehouse Capital, Religare Capital Markets, and Jaypee Capital.
Speaking on his expanded role, Jain said he looks forward to contributing to Cosmo First’s long-term strategic goals by drawing on his experience across industries. He added that the opportunity to work across both operational and corporate development functions presents a platform to support sustainable growth across the group.
Jain holds a master’s degree in business administration from Faculty of Management Studies Delhi and a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Delhi College of Engineering.
Cosmo First operates across multiple business segments including films, sheets and containers, pet care, consumer products, and specialty chemicals. The alignment of leadership responsibilities across Zigly and corporate development reflects the group’s focus on integrating operational growth with long-term strategic planning.
