Sharma will take over from Bazmi Husain, who had been leading ABB in India since 2011. As previously announced, Bazmi will move on to take over the role as global Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for ABB Group.

"ABB has been an intrinsic part of India's power and automation landscape with a manufacturing presence for more than half a century. Now with the exciting developments in the country be it in renewables, manufacturing in India or smart cities, ABB India is poised for many more milestones.

"So I am very proud to be returning to ABB in India and I am looking forward to working with our customers, employees and all of our other stakeholders to take ABB forward and to support the development in the country, especially around uncoupling growing carbon emissions from a growing economy," adds Sharma.
