ANAND Group India

At ANAND, nurturing talent and building leaders from within sits at the heart of how we grow as an organisation.

The ANAND Leadership Development Programme (ALDP) is our flagship initiative to identify high-potential talent and prepare them for future leadership roles across the Group.

As the development journey for the 2026 ALDP batch continues, we also invested in strengthening the capabilities of those guiding them through Mentoring & Coaching Essentials sessions conducted by Mr. K S Bhullar, a seasoned leader and respected ANAND alumnus. The sessions equipped mentors and coaches with practical tools, frameworks, and best practices to support meaningful development conversations and create greater impact through the programme.

Leadership development is not only about preparing future leaders; it is also about strengthening the leaders who help shape them. By investing in both, we continue to build a culture where learning, growth, and leadership development go hand in hand.

As we mark World Environment Day 2026, one thing is clear: meaningful change is built through collective action.

Over the past week, employees across ANAND Group locations came together to share their commitments towards a more sustainable future. From switching to renewable energy and choosing eco-friendly alternatives to using public transport, reducing paper consumption, and planting more trees, each pledge on our Green Pledge Walls reflects a conscious step towards positive change.

Together, these commitments reinforce a belief that has long guided us at ANAND Group — sustainability is not a one-day initiative, but a responsibility embedded in the way we think, operate and grow.

The signals are clear. What comes next is up to us.

Transportation is one of the largest contributors to carbon emissions globally. And while the scale of that problem can feel overwhelming, the solution often starts with a single, conscious choice.

At ANAND Group, our people are making that choice every day. Across our facilities and campuses, employees are carpooling, taking public transport, and switching to EVs to reduce their carbon footprint on the daily commute. To support this, our campuses are equipped with EV charging facilities, because encouraging sustainable choices means making them practical, not just aspirational.
This is not a policy. It is a culture, one that is being built by choices that may seem small in scale but are significant in intent.

On Day 4 of our World Environment Day week, we put the spotlight on the people who understand that sustainability does not begin at the factory gate. It begins at the front door.

The ANAND Technology Show 2026, organized in collaboration with ACMA Mobility Foundation, brought together our Tier II and Tier III supplier partners for a day of meaningful conversations, technology showcases, and collaborative thinking.

At a time when global economic and geopolitical uncertainties continue to reshape supply chains, the discussions reinforced the importance of localisation, innovation, and stronger partnerships across the value chain. Building future-ready capabilities requires not only technological advancement, but also closer collaboration between customers, suppliers, and industry partners.

The event was attended by Mr. Mahendra Goyal, Mr. Rajeev Gera, Mr. Vinayak Hegde, Mr. Kedar Taskar, Mr. Koen Reybrouck, Mr. Abhijeet Kulkarni, and ANAND’s technology teams. We also extend our sincere thanks to Mr. Saurabh Poddar, Co-Chairperson, ACMA Western Region & MD, Sellowrap Industries Limited and the ACMA Mobility Foundation team for their support in making the event a success.

As the conversation around sustainability continues, it’s important to remember that environmental responsibility is not built through a single initiative. It is reflected in the choices we make every day, including the spaces we create and operate.

Across ANAND Group, our campuses and facilities have been designed with sustainability in mind. From green spaces and tree cover, these environments reflect our long-standing commitment to balancing industrial growth with environmental stewardship.

Because creating a greener tomorrow starts with the choices we make today.

Advancing Localisation, Driving Collaboration, and Shaping Future‑tech

ANEVOLVE recently participated in Tech Show 2026, hosted by ACMA India Mobility Foundation in collaboration with Suzuki Motorcycle India Private Ltd., bringing together industry leaders, technology partners, and suppliers under the shared vision of “Make Local, Supply Global.”

A highlight for the ANEVOLVE team was the inauguration of our stall by Mr. Kenichi Umeda, Managing Director, Suzuki Motorcycle India, and Mr. Vineet Mishra, Executive Officer (Purchase, Engg & Homologation), Suzuki Motorcycle India, in the presence of Mr. Sarabjit Singh, Chief Human Resource Officer, ANAND Group & Managing Director, ANEVOLVE; and Mr. T K Moon, CTO, AMeM.

The event provided a valuable platform to showcase capabilities, exchange ideas, and discuss advanced technologies and localisation. It also reinforced the importance of strong partnerships and concerted innovation in shaping future-tech.

Beginnings are about people and purpose

The pooja ceremony at AMeM's (ANEVOLVE Mando eMobility) Shoolagiri plant was a moment of gratitude and optimism, marking the start of production operations. It brought together our teams and leaders to celebrate tradition while looking ahead to the opportunities of tomorrow.

However, this milestone is more than the start of manufacturing. It furthers the way for building future‑tech capabilities, strengthening our culture of innovation and quality, and shaping solutions for the evolving mobility landscape.

The ceremony was attended by AEB members Mr. Mahendra K Goyal, Mr. Rajeev Gera, Mr. Sarabjit Singh Kondal, Mr. S Sarathi and Mr. Atul Jaggi, along with Akshay Deep, Business Head, ANEVOLVE, Prashant Gupta, COO, AMeM and T K Moon, CTO, AMeM.

Strengthening partnerships through collaboration and shared vision

Following the recent JSW Motors Limited & ACMA India Tech Day 2026, teams from JSW Motors visited Gabriel India Limited, DANA ANAND India Private Limited (DAIPL), and MAHLE ANAND Thermal Systems Private Limited to advance discussions on localisation, manufacturing readiness, and future cooperation. The focus was on building deeper synergies and stronger working relationships.

The delegation included senior leaders from JSW Motors: Mr. Ranjan Nayak, Chief Executive Officer; Mr. Vikram Subramanian, Chief Procurement Officer; Mr. Vishwas Deshpande, Vice President – Supply Strategy; and Mr. Suneet Mishra, Central Quality Head along with Commodity heads. Their presence highlighted the importance of aligning quality expectations, improving coordination, and exploring long‑term partnership opportunities.

A highlight of the visit was the inauguration of a new automatic Evaporator Core Builder machine at Mahle Anand Thermal Systems. This addition enhances manufacturing capability, delivering nearly double the output compared to manual and semi‑automatic systems.

Such engagements move partnerships forward by creating alignment, strengthening capability, and opening new pathways for future‑ready solutions.
