Abrol will focus on driving profitable growth across the Luminous portfolio, advancing the company’s evolution into an integrated consumer energy fulfilment platform, and accelerating the expansion of solar and sustainable energy solutions.

India’s energy landscape is at a pivotal moment, driven by the transition toward cleaner, more reliable, and technology-enabled energy solutions. As reliability, sustainability, and technology increasingly shape how energy is generated, stored, and consumed in homes and businesses, our focus will be on delivering innovative energy solutions that meet their evolving needs. I look forward to working closely with the team to build on this foundation and accelerate our growth.”
