On April 14, 2025, Visaka Industries Limited, one of India’s most respected names in sustainable building materials, turns the page to a new chapter in its growth journey with the appointment of Mr. Abinash Mishra as its Chief Executive Officer & Key Managerial Personnel. He will report directly to the Board of Directors.
More than just a leadership transition, this moment reflects Visaka’s bold commitment to reshaping the future of construction—cleaner, smarter, and more inclusive.
With a legacy of 27+ years in transforming large enterprises, Mr. Mishra brings a rare combination of technical depth, strategic vision, and execution excellence. An alumnus of IIT Bombay and Olin Business School, his leadership spans Dalmia Cement, Ambuja Cement (Lafarge Holcim), Pidilite Industries, JK White Cement, and ACC Cement—organizations where he consistently delivered breakthroughs in business performance, brand value, and sustainability.
What sets him apart is his obsession with innovation and his commitment to building a greener tomorrow.
From leading Dalmia’s “Go Green” movement that helped institutional clients shift to low-carbon alternatives, to introducing sand-free construction mixes powered by micro-silica, and now, designing an AI-led demand generation model that is redefining retail channel dynamics — Mr. Mishra has always been ahead of the curve, often setting it.
As he takes the reins at Visaka, his mandate goes beyond operational leadership. He will drive strategic transformation across Visaka’s pioneering verticals:
- Vnext: Accelerating the adoption of dry construction with cement fibre boards—reducing water usage and site inefficiencies
- ATUM: Reinventing roofing with embedded solar technology for decentralized, clean energy solutions
- ATUM Charge: Revolutionizing mobility infrastructure with solar-powered EV charging ecosystems
- Corrugated Sheets: Reimagining legacy products through the lens of climate resilience and performance
His vision aligns seamlessly with Visaka’s ethos—to not just build infrastructure, but to build a better, more sustainable future for India and the world.
Mr. Mishra is also actively shaping industry standards through his contributions to national technical committees, helping India transition toward green building codes, policy frameworks, and responsible industrial growth.
As Visaka sets its sights on becoming a global benchmark for green innovation in construction, Mr. Mishra’s appointment brings with it renewed energy, cutting-edge thinking, and a clear purpose:
To lead with impact. To build with conscience. To grow with sustainability at the core.
