Tenneco Appoints Aditya Kohli as India CHRO to Drive People Transformation

Tenneco Clean Air India Limited has appointed Aditya Kohli as Chief Human Resources Officer for India, effective April 1, 2026, as the company strengthens its people and culture strategy in response to evolving industry dynamics.

In his new role, Kohli will lead the human capital agenda, focusing on leadership development, organisational effectiveness, and aligning HR systems with business growth priorities. His appointment comes at a time when manufacturing and mobility companies are rethinking workforce strategies to address technological disruption, sustainability pressures, and increasing operational complexity.

Kohli brings over 25 years of cross-sector HR leadership experience. Most recently, he served as CHRO at Orient Electric, where he played a key role in shaping the organisation’s people strategy. Prior to that, he held the CHRO position at Clix Capital, contributing to cultural transformation and growth initiatives.

Earlier in his career, Kohli worked with Bharti Airtel, where he managed HR for core business functions and global rewards, and spent nearly a decade at Standard Chartered Bank in global HR roles across India and Singapore. He began his career at Hewitt Associates, building expertise in HR analytics, rewards, and change management.

The appointment reflects a broader trend across India Inc., where organisations are elevating HR leadership to play a more strategic role in business transformation. For Tenneco, which operates in a rapidly evolving mobility ecosystem, strengthening leadership pipelines and building a resilient, future-ready workforce will be critical to sustaining growth.

Kohli’s experience in leadership development and HR transformation is expected to support the company’s efforts to navigate this transition while aligning people strategy closely with long-term business objectives.
