Finolex Industries Announces New Leadership Team to Drive Future Expansion!
By Ashutosh Arora
Finolex Industries Limited has announced significant changes to its leadership structure as the company prepares for its next phase of strategic growth. Effective November 1, 2025, Udipt Agarwal has assumed the role of Managing Director, while Rambabu Sanka stepped into the position of Director – Technical earlier on August 2, 2025. These appointments mark a major step in strengthening the company’s executive capabilities and aligning its leadership with long-term ambitions for innovation, efficiency and market expansion.
Mr. Agarwal, 56, brings with him more than 30 years of cross-sector experience spanning chemicals, bio-industrials and advanced materials. A B.Tech graduate from HBTI Kanpur with advanced leadership training from INSEAD, he has built a strong reputation for shaping business strategies, driving operational excellence and leading market development across Asia. His deep exposure to manufacturing-driven sectors and his ability to scale businesses position him strongly to guide Finolex through its next chapter of growth, modernization and value creation.
Complementing Agarwal’s strategic leadership, Mr. Rambabu Sanka joins Finolex as Director – Technical with nearly 40 years of hands-on expertise in chemical manufacturing, particularly in VCM and PVC operations. His extensive background in plant management, process optimization and production technologies is expected to significantly enhance Finolex’s manufacturing efficiency and technological depth. His appointment strengthens the company’s focus on integrating advanced operational practices across its production units.
Executive Chairman Prakash P. Chhabria welcomed both leaders, emphasizing that the combination of Agarwal’s business acumen and Sanka’s technical expertise will accelerate Finolex’s momentum across innovation, operational efficiency and market leadership. He highlighted that these appointments reflect Finolex’s commitment to building a more agile, resilient and future-ready organization capable of navigating emerging industry challenges and opportunities.
The leadership transition follows the retirement of Saurabh Dhanorkar (Managing Director) and Saumya Chakrabarti (Director – Technical), both of whom made substantial contributions during their tenures. Mr. Chhabria expressed deep appreciation for their dedication and the strong operational foundation they established—one that the new leadership team will continue to build upon.
For over four decades, Finolex Industries has grown to become one of India’s most trusted and widely recognized names in PVC pipes and fittings, serving critical segments such as plumbing, sanitation and agriculture. The company’s integrated value chain—from raw material sourcing and resin production to manufacturing, distribution and customer support—ensures consistency, quality and reliability at every stage. Its commitment to excellence is reflected in ISO 9001:2015 certifications across all facilities and a loyal customer base that includes farmers, plumbers, homeowners, channel partners and long-term investors.
As Finolex enters its next phase, it continues to measure its success not only through financial performance but also through its reputation for dependability, consistency and customer trust. With its strengthened leadership team, the company is well-positioned to deepen market penetration, advance product innovation and uphold its legacy as a cornerstone of India’s PVC and piping industry.
