Career

Yogesh Chander Deveshwar was born on 4 February 1947 in Lahore, British India.[1] He received his Bachelor of Technology Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi in 1968. Y C Deveshwar joined ITC Limited in 1968. He was appointed as a director on the board of the company in 1984 and became the Chief Executive and Chairman of the Board in 1996.[2]

Deveshwar was due to step down as head of ITC in 2010.[3] There has been some speculation in the media about Deveshwar's successor. In March 2010, Kurush N Grant was appointed to the ITC Board. In January 2011, two new Executive Directors, Nakul Anand and P V Dhobale were inducted to the Board. Elevated from their earlier responsibilities as Chief Executives of ITC's core business divisions of FMCG, Hotels and Paper, they are homegrown managers[4] and signal the next generation of leadership in the organization.[5][6][7]

Deveshwar is India's longest-serving CEO[8] and he earns nearly triple the second-highest salary in his company;[9] in 2011, it was said his salary was 26 lakh (2.6 million) rupees per month.[10] In 2013, he was listed as the Best Performing CEO in India by Harvard Business Review and seventh in the world.[11][12] In 2011, Deveshwar received the Padma Bhushan, India's third-highest civilian award.[10]
