Pune-based auto component manufacturer Flash, which specialises in electrical and electronic components for two-wheeler and three-wheeler EVs, has appointed Rajnish Diwan as the CEO.

Diwan will be responsible for the company’s new automotive business trends, namely connected, autonomous, shared and electrified mobility solutions. Besides this, Diwan, who has over 38 years of experience, will also focus on expanding into new business sectors. The company’s CSR and SDG sustainable development goals will also fall under his purview.
