Uno Minda has appointed Vivek Joshi as Chief Executive Officer of its Light Metal and Powertrain Systems (LPS) domain, the company said on Tuesday.

Joshi brings experience in die-casting technologies, process engineering, and lean manufacturing, with a track record spanning operational improvement and manufacturing innovation. In his new role, he will be responsible for driving strategy, execution, and growth across the LPS business, which forms a key part of Uno Minda’s automotive component portfolio.

The company said the appointment aligns with its focus on strengthening leadership bandwidth in core verticals while scaling capabilities in advanced manufacturing and powertrain solutions.

Joshi said Uno Minda’s customer-centric approach and emphasis on operational excellence were key factors in his decision to join. He added that the LPS domain offers significant headroom for growth and that his immediate priorities would include strengthening systems, driving execution discipline, and building high-performance teams.

“I believe great organisations are built on clarity, accountability, and compassion,” Joshi said, noting that he aims to build on the existing foundation while steering the business into its next phase.

The LPS domain is expected to play an increasingly important role as the automotive industry transitions toward lightweighting and more efficient powertrain systems, areas where die-casting and precision engineering capabilities are critical.

Uno Minda said it expects Joshi’s leadership to support continued innovation and operational scale-up across the domain.
