He’s no pushover; and he’s intent on combining the best of the old and the new...
For nearly three decades, this man loyally served Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd., to finally earn his reward in September 2004, when he filled the coveted top slot in the public sector giant. As Chairman of BHEL, A.K. Puri – with his outstanding leadership skills – has steered this public sector power equipment major to greater heights. His contributions in key functions like corporate management, international marketing, planning and manufacturing are the stuff of legend in BHEL corridors. He had earlier spearheaded the introduction and assimilation of modern technology for controls and instrumentation (C&I). Under his guidance, BHEL surpassed its Rs.10,000 crore turnover point in September 2005 and experienced a surge in economic value addition in 2004- 05. Never one to rest on past laurels, Puri is already looking ahead. “There is plenty of opportunity to deliver further profitable growth... We are focussed on building on our success,” he told BHEL shareholders at their 42nd Annual General Meeting.
