DSM appoints Country Manager for Solar Business in India

Royal DSM, in order to step up its focus on solar activities in India, has announced the appointment of Mr. Vivek Chaturvedi as Country Manager for DSM's solar business in India. Vivek will lead the expansion of DSM’s solar activities in India, which has been identified by DSM as one of the growth markets for its solar business, chiming with the Indian governments’ focus on this sector

Mr. Chaturvedi joined DSM in the beginning of 2015 and brings with him over 20 years of experience gained across different industries and companies. He was also the Co-Chairman at FICCI Solar Energy Task Force for nearly five years since its inception in 2010.

Oscar Goddijn, Vice President DSM Advanced Surfaces, said “We are excited at the opportunities presented by the market in India. DSM will bring in a portfolio of state of the art technologies that will make solar energy more viable and affordable. Vivek will be in the lead to accelerate this expansion.”

Vivek Chaturvedi, Country Manager India, Solar adds, “The next step change in bringing down the cost of solar energy will be driven by improvement in efficiencies. DSM technology, products and new business models will help achieve this.”

Solar energy technology will play a central role in the energy balance of the future – a role that will become even more critical and valuable as the technology becomes more efficient. DSM aims to accelerate the penetration of solar energy by focusing on the development and commercialization of technologies and materials solutions that increase the efficiency of solar modules, thereby increasing the energy generation and reducing the cost of solar electricity.
