Ravi Uppal steps down from ABB citing personal reasons
26 Aug 2008
Mumbai: Ravi Uppal, president of global markets and a member of the ABB Group executive committee since July 2007, has decided to relinquish his position for personal reasons.
Though Uppal plans to return to India to pursue a career outside ABB, he will remain non-executive chairman of ABB in India, to help ensure continuity of the power and automation equipment maker's business in India.
The company will announce Uppal's successor for the Zurich-based role as head of global markets in due course.
Uppal joined ABB in 1980, and after a five-year spell at Volvo as founding managing director of Volvo India, returned to the company as ABB country manager in India in 2001, steering a period of very profitable growth in the country.
He was ABB regional manager for South Asia from 2005 until his appointment to the executive committee in 2007, contributed to ABB's development in the region.
