Toshiba India Pvt. Ltd. (TIPL) appointed Shuichi Ito as the Managing Director. He will lead TIPL to the path of the next level of growth across the group’s energy and social infrastructure businesses in the country.

A law graduate from the Kyushu University of Japan, Ito comes with almost three decades of strong and diverse experience in Toshiba’s international energy business. He will succeed Tomohiko Okada who was at the helm of TIPL’s operations for more than five years.    

“During my association with India spanning over 30 years, I witnessed India-Japan economic partnership and investments reach new heights.

I believe Ito is the right person to further strengthen Toshiba’s support to India and to take TIPL into its new growth phase,” said Okada.

“Toshiba remains committed to provide the latest technologies and solutions for India to achieve sustainable development. I am honoured to take over this responsibility from Okada and stand resolute in Toshiba’s commitment to India. I look forward to reinforcing our long-term partnership with customers and partners to support India in building world-class infrastructure and turn on the promise of a new day for India,” said Ito.
