He announced his departure from that post earlier in the day, and FTSE-listed Reckitt's shares fell 4%.
Mr Narasimhan will join Starbucks in October but will take the helm in April 2023, after spending a few months learning about the company.
Until then, interim-CEO Howard Schultz will continue to lead the company.
