GE India announced today the appointment of Banmali Agrawala as a GE Officer to lead GE’s Energy business in India. Banmali will be responsible for driving overall growth and strengthening the business in India. He will step into his new role on December 1 2011.
John L. Flannery, President and CEO, GE India said, "We are fortunate to attract an energy executive as strong as Banmali Agrawala. Energy is our largest business in India but still has huge room to grow in new areas like renewables and distributed energy - as well as traditional gas and steam turbines and services. Banmali's appointment as a GE Officer reflects the importance of this role and our respect for his accomplishments to date."
Banmali has over 24 years of professional experience and has held several senior positions in industrial companies. Most recently, Banmali was with Tata Power Company Limited, where he was the Executive Director for Strategy and Business Development, India, and also served on the board of directors for the company. From 1987 to 2008, Banmali was with Wartsila India Limited, holding several leadership positions in both India and Europe, and ultimately serving as Managing Director of the company for five years.
Banmali Agrawala said, “I look forward to being a part of GE India’s leadership, further building on the success of the Energy business and working closely with the teams”.
Kishore Jayaraman, currently the leading GE Energy executive in India, will be transitioning to a new role in GE during 2012. Jayaraman oversaw rapid growth of the Energy business during his tenure in the country.
