Vivek Abrol Takes Charge as Managing Director & CEO of Luminous Power Technologies!
Luminous Power Technologies has announced the appointment of Vivek Abrol as its new Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, effective January 19, 2026. With this leadership transition, Luminous aims to strengthen its growth trajectory and further consolidate its position as a leading integrated consumer energy solutions provider in India.
Abrol brings with him over 25 years of leadership experience across FMCG and electricals, having held senior roles in large, complex organisations where he has driven scale, brand growth, and operational excellence. In his new role at Luminous, his mandate will focus on accelerating growth across the company’s core portfolio, strengthening its integrated consumer energy platform, and expanding its presence in solar and sustainable energy solutions.
As MD & CEO, Abrol is expected to place strong emphasis on innovation, digital transformation, and execution excellence. Luminous has, over the years, evolved beyond traditional power backup solutions to build a diversified portfolio spanning inverters, batteries, solar products, and energy storage solutions. Abrol’s leadership is expected to further align product strategy, customer experience, and digital capabilities to meet the rapidly changing needs of residential, commercial, and industrial customers.
He succeeds Preeti Bajaj, who will move on to a global leadership role at Schneider Electric as Executive Vice President of the Global Home Solutions Division. Bajaj’s tenure at Luminous was marked by significant transformation, including portfolio expansion, stronger solar integration, and improved organisational capabilities. Under her leadership, Luminous achieved strong growth and sharpened its focus on clean energy and consumer-centric innovation.
Reflecting on her journey, Bajaj described her time at Luminous as a privilege and expressed pride in the progress made by the organisation and its teams. She noted that the company is now well positioned for its next phase of growth and expressed confidence that Abrol will build on the strong foundation already in place, with a sharper focus on long-term value creation and market leadership.
Abrol’s appointment comes at a time when India’s energy landscape is undergoing rapid change. Rising power demand, increasing adoption of rooftop solar, energy storage solutions, and a strong policy push toward sustainability are reshaping consumer expectations. Luminous, with its established brand and distribution reach, is well placed to benefit from these trends. The company’s strategy under Abrol is expected to focus on scaling sustainable solutions while maintaining competitiveness across its legacy product lines.
In addition to driving business growth, Abrol is also expected to focus on building an inclusive, high-performance organisation. Talent development, leadership depth, and cultural alignment are likely to be key priorities as Luminous continues to scale in a highly competitive and innovation-driven market.
Overall, the appointment of Vivek Abrol signals Luminous Power Technologies’ intent to combine experienced leadership with strategic clarity as it enters its next phase of growth—strengthening its role as a trusted consumer energy solutions provider while expanding its footprint in solar and sustainable energy segments.
