In the newly created role, Deshmukh will report directly to Henrik V. Jørgensen, President, Controls division, and will be based in Pune, India.

Deshmukh will be responsible for driving business growth and ensuring effective execution of Danfoss Power Solutions’ strategies across India. He will build and maintain relationships with key customers, partners and stakeholders, while creating and executing strategies to attract, develop and retain talent across multiple functions. He will also lead the Danfoss Power Solutions India Leadership Team and represent the Power Solutions segment on the Danfoss India country governance board.

“India is one of the most important growth markets for Danfoss Power Solutions, and I am honored to lead the team here at this stage of our journey,” Deshmukh said. “My focus will be on strengthening our customer partnerships, building local capabilities, and positioning our India business for long-term, sustainable growth.”

“Anup brings deep operational and commercial experience from across India and the broader Asia-Pacific region,” Jørgensen said. “His track record of building high-performing teams and driving growth will be a strong asset as we continue to invest in India as a strategic market.”

Deshmukh brings nearly 28 years of experience spanning sales, business development, general management, manufacturing operations and strategic growth. He joins Danfoss from Parker Hannifin, where he held senior leadership roles across India, China and Southeast Asia.

Most recently, he served as Country Sales Director within Parker Hannifin’s Filtration, Engineering Material, Instrumentation, Fluid Control and Motion Control groups in India. Prior to Parker Hannifin, Deshmukh served as Sales Manager for General Electric in India.
