Aditya Kohli to step down as CHRO of Orient Electric in March 2026

Aditya Kohli will step down as Chief Human Resources Officer of Orient Electric on 24 March 2026, ending a four-year tenure at the CKA Birla Group company.

The company disclosed his resignation to stock exchanges on 24 February 2026 under Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Regulations, confirming that Kohli will serve until the close of business on 24 March.

In his resignation letter addressed to the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Kohli said he was leaving to pursue another professional opportunity outside the organisation. He thanked the board, leadership team and colleagues across Orient Electric and the wider CKA Birla Group for their support during his tenure and committed to ensuring a smooth transition.

The company said it would facilitate an orderly handover over the coming weeks and confirmed compliance with disclosure requirements under Schedule III of the Listing Regulations, as well as the latest SEBI master circular issued in January 2026.

Kohli joined Orient Electric in 2022 and was part of the senior management team during a period when the company sharpened its people strategy. During his tenure, Orient Electric was certified as a Great Place to Work for seven consecutive years, reflecting its stated focus on building a more people-centric and performance-driven culture.

Orient Electric, a listed player in the consumer electricals segment, has been investing in brand positioning, product expansion and operational efficiency amid rising competition in the appliances and electrical equipment market. HR leadership has played a central role in workforce engagement and capability building as the company navigates cost pressures and demand shifts.

The departure comes at a time when listed companies face heightened scrutiny over governance disclosures and leadership changes. By informing exchanges promptly, Orient Electric has adhered to regulatory norms governing senior management exits.

The company has not yet announced a successor. Its next HR appointment will be closely watched as the business continues to balance growth ambitions with operational discipline in a competitive consumer market.
