V-Guard Industries has appointed Mithun K Chittilappilly as chairperson and managing director of the company, marking a significant leadership transition at the Kochi-based electrical equipment manufacturer. Chittilappilly, who has served as managing director since 2012, will now assume the additional chairperson responsibilities following the completion of Radha Unni's tenure in the top position.
The appointment consolidates leadership under Chittilappilly, who has been instrumental in guiding V-Guard's operations and strategy over the past decade. His elevation to the dual role reflects the company's confidence in his leadership capabilities and his understanding of the organization's business dynamics.
Radha Unni's tenure as chairperson concludes after serving two complete terms in the position, completing a full cycle of leadership transitions at the company. The change represents a continuity strategy, with operational leadership and strategic direction now unified under a single executive.
V-Guard Industries, which manufactures and distributes electrical and electronics products including voltage stabilizers, power electronic devices, and home appliances, operates across multiple segments in the Indian consumer durables market. The leadership restructuring comes as the company continues to navigate the competitive electrical equipment sector in India.
