Pragya Bijalwan, who has steered the company’s Marketing & Communications as head since December 2024, has been inducted into the Senior Leadership Team with effect from 6 April 2026 and has accordingly become a Senior Management Personnel of the company from the said date. The move underscores Voltas’ focus on aligning branding, communications and go-to-market execution with its growth ambitions.
