JSW, a part of the OP Jindal Group—that operates across various sectors including steel, energy, minerals, port, infrastructure and cement in India, the US, South America and Africa—has roped in Vijay Sinha to take on the role of executive vice president-human resources (new businesses).
Backed by over three decades of experience, Vijay Sinha moves to JSW from Adani Power, where he had been serving as joint president-HR since Feb 2023, based out of Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
Sinha began his professional journey with Steel Authority of India (SAIL) as manager-HR, in 1993. After a long and successful stint of almost 12 years with SAIL, he moved to RKHS as DGM-HR, in 2005. This stint lasted only over a year, and by August 2007, he moved to Reliance BIG Animation, based out of Pune. Two years into this role, he switched to JSW Energy, as senior vice president-HR. Eight years into this role, he moved to Vijayanagar, Bellary, joining JSW Steel as senior vice president-HR and admin, JSW Steel. Hardly a year and a half later, he was elevated to the position of executive vice president-HR (manufacturing). He spent a good four years and four months with JSW Steel, before joining Adani Power in February 2023, as joint president-HR.
Known to be a very organised and focussed HR person, he is an expert in developing and maintaining relationships. This trait of his will stand him in good stead in his new assignment at JSW.
Sinha has completed an MBA in human resource management/personnel administration, from the Xavier Institute of Management (XIM, Bhubaneshwar)
