One more name added to the growing list of Indians who have been given opportunity to lead multi-national Deoras has been working as the president of Colgate-Palmolive's Asia operations, a post being offered to Vinod Nambiar, people aware of the development told the Economic Times.
IIM Ahmedabad alumnus Deoras will be responsible for about $2-billion advertising budget of Colgate-Palmolive from this month.
