Triveni Engineering & Industries Elevates Vivek Viswanathan to Whole-time Director

Triveni Engineering & Industries Ltd (TEIL), one of India’s largest integrated sugar and ethanol manufacturers and a leading player in water and wastewater management, announced the appointment of Vivek Viswanathan as an Additional Director, designated as Whole-time Director and Key Managerial Personnel (KMP), for a five-year term effective August 1, 2026, subject to approval of shareholders at the ensuing Annual General Meeting of the company.

Viswanathan brings more than two decades of leadership experience across the sugar and distillery industry. He previously held the position of Joint Managing Director at Sir Shadi Lal Enterprises Ltd (SSEL). In that role, he oversaw the company’s full operational scope — from manufacturing and supply chain management to cost efficiency, turnaround efforts, and the rollout of key strategic initiatives. His hands-on industry background makes him a strong fit to support TEIL’s upcoming growth phase.

The appointment follows the successful amalgamation of SSEL with TEIL under the Composite Scheme of Arrangement and reflects the company’s focus on ensuring strong leadership as it integrates the expanded operations. Viswanathan will play a key role in driving operational excellence, accelerating integration, and helping unlock the full value and synergies of the combined enterprise.

Commenting on the appointment, Tarun Sawhney, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Triveni Engineering & Industries Ltd, said, “We are pleased to welcome Viswanathan to Triveni’s Board. His extensive industry experience, operational expertise, and familiarity with the erstwhile SSEL business will be invaluable as we integrate our expanded operations. Strengthening our leadership team is an important step in realizing the full potential of this combination, enhancing operational excellence, and creating sustainable long-term value for all our stakeholders.”
