IIM-B prof Deepak Malghan declines invite to 15 June convocation of MDI Gurugram, which has invited Sanjiv Mehta, CEO and Managing Director of HUL, as chief guest.
MDH has rubbished reports of a takeover by Hindustan Unilever Ltd. It's a company that journeyed from a shop in Sialkot to become one of India’s leading spice producers.
Hindustan Unilever indicated that inflationary pressures were likely to persist, spooking investors. Its shares slipped 4% at the close of trading — the most since early May.
