Himanshu Pathak appointed VP strategy and digital transformation at RIL
MUMBAI: Reliance Industries Limited has elevated Himanshu Pathak to vice president strategy and digital transformation for group infrastructure, placing him at the heart of the conglomerate’s technology-led future. Based in Navi Mumbai, Pathak will lead the integrated operations centre for group infrastructure services, driving the digital transformation agenda across the PCI value stream covering people, culture and infrastructure.
In his new role, Pathak will shape and execute the digital roadmap that supports multiple Reliance businesses, including the rapidly expanding new energy portfolio. The mandate is ambitious but familiar territory for a leader who has spent nearly a decade inside the Reliance ecosystem.
Before this appointment, Pathak served as senior general manager for people in new energy and group infrastructure, where he played a key role in building systems and processes for one of the group’s most strategic bets. He has also led platform and digitisation initiatives for group corporate services, combining strategy with hands-on execution.
Pathak’s career reflects a steady climb through the worlds of process excellence and large-scale transformation. His earlier stints span Indus Towers, Piramal Enterprises, Infosys BPM and Piramal Glass Ceylon, where he worked across manufacturing excellence, operational improvement and enterprise-wide change programmes.
Known for blending analytical rigour with stakeholder savvy, Pathak brings deep experience in digital transformation, business strategy and change management. At Reliance, that mix is now set to power the next chapter of infrastructure-led growth, with technology as the quiet engine behind the scenes.
