He brings nearly 3 decades of experience across human resources, industrial relations, administration, organisational transformation, business leadership and manufacturing operations.
In his new role, Singh will focus on developing a strong leadership pipeline, strengthening the company’s talent ecosystem, shaping organisational culture and advancing HR systems to support its growth plans.
Before joining Mangal Electrical Industries, Singh served as Vice President – Human Resources, Industrial Relations & Administration at Lalbaba Engineering Group. He led people, industrial relations and administrative priorities across the organisation.
