He has a lengthy and successful track record of working with brands such as Tupperware, Crocs, Reliance Retail, Skechers, Sprandi, and others as a strategic expert. Prior to joining Timex, Chhabra served as the Managing Director of Tupperware from early 2019 to early 2020, where he led the brand’s transformation from a direct selling company to a harmonised multichannel strategy that included retail, e-tail, and e-commerce to increase consumer access and help the brand gain market share. He also changed the company’s focus from kitchenware to homeware, and from primarily plastics to a material-agnostic brand.
Chhabra, a Marketeer by training, has an entrepreneurial mindset and has worked in the Retail, Lifestyle, Consumer Durables, and Sportswear industries for over twenty-five years, exposing him to global business cultures and best practises. He is a purpose-driven leader who is continuously taking risks and moving beyond his comfort zone and predetermined traditions. He is a firm believer in accepting failure as much as achievement.
