Piyush Patnaik, Managing Director of McCain Foods India, has resigned following allegations of “improper conduct” within a year of joining. This departure is part of a broader trend, with several senior-level executives leaving the Canadian frozen snack foods maker’s India unit in functions like HR, finance, agriculture, and legal over the past six months. McCain confirmed Patnaik’s exit, citing “personal reasons,” while not disclosing details. The company mentioned ongoing structural changes globally and in India as part of its strategy. Patnaik took on the role in October last year, and the average leadership term at McCain is four years.
