Director and Former Chairperson, Thermax

The biggest challenge for Anu Aga, director and former chairperson of Theramax was to change the preset attitude towards the company’s “satisfactory underperformance".

The kick off for Anu was an anonymous letter from one of the shareholders who blamed the company for its inactiveness about the situation.

Anu completely restructured the strategy of the company and divested the company into six core businesses in energy and environment sectors.
