Gayatri Yadav, former Chief Marketing Officer at Peak XV Partners, has taken on a new role at Reliance Industries Ltd. as Group Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President for Strategic Initiatives in the Chairman’s Office.
Her transition to Reliance marks the end of her tenure at the venture capital firm previously known as Sequoia India and Southeast Asia. Reports surfaced last December that Yadav was set to leave Peak XV, where she played a key role in shaping brand strategy for startups backed by the firm, including Atlys, BharatPe, Blinkit, and Byju’s.
A seasoned marketing leader, Yadav has built a career spanning global brands such as Procter & Gamble and General Mills. Before joining Peak XV, she served as the CMO at Sequoia Capital India & SEA, driving thought leadership in the startup ecosystem. She also held a key leadership role at Star, where she led marketing initiatives that helped redefine media consumption in India.

In her new role at Reliance, Yadav will be working closely with Mukesh Ambani, Nita Ambani, Isha Ambani, Akash Ambani, and Anant Ambani, alongside other senior executives. She described the opportunity as a chance to contribute to a company with “unimaginable scale and potential.”
“All the dots—consumer, brand, and technology—converge here,” Yadav said, announcing her move to Reliance on LinkedIn and X. “Reliance’s core philosophy, ‘Growth is Life,’ is the driving force behind everything the company does—whether personal, economic, or societal growth. I’m honored to take on this role and look forward to working with stakeholders and partners to drive impact at scale.”
