Hrishikesh Pawar

Regional Director, South India

Hrishikesh Pawar

Hrishikesh started his career in the vertical transportation industry in 2000, holding various roles in sales and operations in the Western part of the country. Prior to heading the South operation for Otis, he headed the Eastern region operations. This has given Hrishi a deeper understanding of the varied cultural nuances amongst customers in a widely diverse country like India. Hrishikesh has also played a large role in establishing Otis’ JV business in Sri Lanka.

Passionate about developing programs that bridge the gap between sales teams and customer requirements, he has helped put together modules on sales effectiveness and management. Hrishi has had the privilege of working on complex projects and structures with some big name developers. The one he is most proud of is the Goldman Sachs, Bengaluru campus - the largest offshore campus for the largest investment bank, where we will be supplying our Gen2’s.

If it wasn’t for vertical transportation, Hrishi would be in the family garment business. He is a lover of nature, enjoys capturing interesting landscapes on his camera and playing with his kids. Hrishi also enjoys dancing, and is often the life of the party.
