Bisleri
At the age of 24, she began working in Bisleri under her father’s guidance. She started her journey by working in the Delhi office of Bisleri. She renovated the factory and helped in bringing about the automation of various processes. She reformed and lead the HR and Sales & Marketing departments of the company. In January 2008, she became the director of Bisleri International. In 2011, she took charge of the Mumbai office. She works on new product development. She takes care of the operations for Bisleri Mineral Water, Vedica Natural Mineral Water from the Himalayas (the Luxury Segment), Fizzy Fruit Drinks, and Bisleri Hand Purifier. She is involved in digital marketing and branding of the Bisleri products. She handles advertising and communication development at Bisleri. She worked on many projects including Vedica Film and Bisleri Hand Sanitizers.
In an interview, she revealed that when she joined the company, she used to be stressed about how to handle teammates that were older than her, but now, she knows how to deal with it, she said,
You have got to show them examples of what other companies are doing. For instance, my dad’s generation is not the social media generation, so I have to show them what the competition is up to.”
In an interview, on being asked about how she manages to avoid not upsetting the egos of the employees, she replied,
That’s going to happen. I can’t always be careful about that. I try to be as polite as possible but also a bit firm, you know, because you have to get something done and it’s work at the end of the day. This is an office space, not a social place or some meeting club. We’re all here to work and to achieve numbers. At least, that’s my goal when I walk in. But I have a lot to learn about being patient and reining things in. Hopefully, I’m getting better at it.”

On 24 November 2022, some media outlets reported that her father, Ramesh J. Chauhan, was looking for a potential buyer for Bisleri International as his daughter, Jayanti, didn’t want to take over his business. Reportedly, she was not interested in handling his business and wanted to do something else that’s why he decided to sell his company. Later, Ramesh J. Chauhan decided to sell Bisleri International to Tata Consumer Products for Rs 7000 crores. In an interview, while talking about selling the company to Tata Group, he said,
Tata Group will nurture and take care of it even better, although selling Bisleri was still a painful decision. I like the Tata culture of values and integrity and hence made up my mind despite the aggression shown by other interested buyers. It was not just the value I am getting for it, I was more anxious to find a home that would look after it as I did. This is a business I have built with passion and it is now run by equally passionate employees.”
In March 2023, it was reported that following Tata Consumer Products Ltd (TCPL)’s withdrawal from the acquisition process, Jayanti Chauhan was set to lead the bottled water company. Ramesh Chauhan revealed this in an interview and said,
Jayanti will run the company with our professional team and we do not want to sell the business.”

She’s not afraid to vocalise what she’s thinking.’ If I tell him something that doesn’t make sense, he will tell me, ‘Sorry, your argument doesn’t make any sense. Come back to me with a more intelligent one.’ So he’s always pushing me to do more and be more.”
