Suzlon Group has appointed Kamesh Chaganti as Head of Human Resources for its South India business, strengthening regional people leadership as the company continues to scale operations.

The company announced the appointment on Thursday. Chaganti will oversee HR strategy and operations across Suzlon’s South India footprint, with responsibility spanning talent development, HR business partnering, compensation and benefits, organisational development, and employment law.

Chaganti brings more than two decades of experience across media, technology and engineering sectors. He spent 14 years at Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited, where he served as General Manager and Head of Human Resources and led leadership development and workforce capability initiatives. Prior to that, he worked in Tech Mahindra’s HR Americas division, contributing to global HR operations, and began his career at Navya Engineers & Equipments.

According to the company, his experience across Zee Network, MAA—a division of Star India—Tech Mahindra and Navya Engineers has equipped him to design scalable HR frameworks and manage complex, multi-location workforces.

In a statement, Suzlon said Chaganti’s appointment aligns with its focus on building leadership depth and supporting business execution in key regional markets. “His people-first approach and cross-sector experience will help strengthen our talent agenda as we pursue the next phase of growth,” the company said.

Suzlon’s South India operations play a critical role in manufacturing, project execution and service delivery within its wind energy business. The company has been rebuilding momentum amid renewed demand for renewable energy projects and a stronger domestic order pipeline.

Chaganti will be based in South India and will work closely with business and plant leadership to support productivity, capability building and compliance as Suzlon expands its footprint in the region.
