Founded in China in 1995, BGG is a global leader in astaxanthin and supplies a wide range of natural ingredients for supplements, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, personal care, and food and drink.
Bharat has been associated with BGG since 2023 and became a company director in 2025 to drive strategy. He now takes charge of BGG’s operations outside China and Japan as it steps up its growth plans worldwide.

Bharat has extensive leadership, strategic, finance, and merger and acquisition experience from his time with flavor and fragrance multinational Givaudan as well as serving as a director with the Keva group in Europe.
He takes over from Jürgen Nelis, who led the launch of BGG’s European headquarters in Switzerland in 2024 and has overseen the expansion of the company’s teams and operations in Europe and the United States to support its growing international customer base.
As BGG Europe Chairman, Jürgen will work with Bharat to support the transition of executive responsibilities before focusing on new projects to facilitate additional expansion plans.
