Oswal Solar Energy Pvt Ltd has appointed industry veteran Harish Valecha as President – Strategic Business Development, strengthening its leadership team as the company looks to expand its presence in India's fast-growing solar manufacturing and renewable energy market.

The appointment was announced by the company through its official communication, which stated that Valecha will play a key role in driving business growth, fostering innovation and strengthening Oswal Solar's market presence.

Valecha joins Oswal Solar after a nearly six-year stint at Cosmic PV Power Ltd, where he served as Vice President and was involved in steering the company's solar business strategy, market expansion initiatives and revenue growth efforts. Prior to that, he held leadership roles across branding, corporate communications and strategic partnerships at companies including Kosol Energie Pvt Ltd and Doshion Veolia Water Solutions.

In his new role, Valecha is expected to focus on strategic business development, partnerships and market expansion as Oswal Solar continues to scale its operations amid rising demand for domestically manufactured solar products.

The appointment comes at a time when India's solar manufacturing sector is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by policy measures such as the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM), domestic content requirements and growing investments across the solar value chain.

Oswal Solar said Valecha's extensive experience in renewable energy, corporate communications and strategic growth initiatives would help the company strengthen its position in the market and support its next phase of expansion.

With more than two decades of experience spanning renewable energy, branding, public affairs and business strategy, Valecha has worked across multiple sectors and is widely known within the solar industry for building strategic partnerships and driving market development initiatives.

The move is expected to bolster Oswal Solar's efforts to expand its footprint in the solar manufacturing segment as competition intensifies and companies increasingly focus on scale, integration and market reach.
