Known for its cooling solutions, the company now wants to become a full-fledged indoor comfort provider by offering cleaner, healthier air at home.
The move comes at a time when consumers are seeking practical ways to improve their living spaces.

Export markets with rising demand for compact purification systems are also in the company’s sights.
The new range has been developed in partnership with technology and R&D firms, enabling Raj Cooling Systems to build purifiers tailored to Indian conditions. The models promise reliability, low maintenance, and strong purification performance.
Speaking about the launch, Raj Cooling Systems founder and chairman Kalpesh Ramoliya, said the goal was to make clean air accessible to every Indian household. “Families shouldn’t have to choose between quality and price. With this launch, we are bringing advanced air purification technology within reach without compromising on performance.”
With rising adoption of air-quality solutions across urban and semi-urban areas, the company is eyeing a significant share of the market over the next few years. Through innovation, wider distribution, and strong value offerings, Raj Cooling Systems is gearing up for a fresh phase of growth driven by clearer, healthier air.

Boeing appoints Barun as head of FP&A for global engineering function
Seasoned finance leader to steer budgets and strategy across global centres
BENGALURU: Boeing’s finance cockpit has a new pilot, and he is no stranger to turbulence or transformation. Boeing has appointed Barun as head of FP&A for global engineering, placing him at the centre of financial strategy for its worldwide engineering and technology operations.
Based in Bengaluru, Barun steps into a role that is as expansive as it is critical. He will serve as the primary finance lead for Boeing’s Engineering and Technology Centers globally, working closely with executive leadership to shape financial decisions, manage complex budgets, and design scalable finance processes that support the company’s growing engineering footprint.
In a note announcing his move Barun said, “I’m excited to share that I’ve joined Boeing Global Engineering. This opportunity is incredibly meaningful to me not just from a professional standpoint, but also for what Boeing represents globally.” He added that he looks forward to contributing to an organisation that continues to shape the future of aerospace and innovation.
Barun’s mandate spans strategic financial leadership, operational oversight, and stakeholder engagement. From directing large-scale budgets and schedules to influencing long-term organisational goals, the role blends financial discipline with business foresight. He will also lead cross-functional teams and partner with finance colleagues worldwide to support engineering programmes across geographies, including India.
The appointment caps a long stint at Juniper Networks, where Barun spent over a decade, most recently as finance senior manager. There, he led FP&A for global product business units and G&A functions, driving budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning. He also played a key role in enterprise-wide transformation, including spearheading an Oracle to SAP ERP migration and building advanced analytics capabilities using tools such as Tableau and SAP Analytics Cloud.
His earlier career includes finance leadership roles at Sony India Software Centre, Cognizant Technology Solutions, and Mphasis, where he focused on financial planning, governance frameworks, and operational efficiency across global delivery centres.
A chartered accountant from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, Barun brings nearly two decades of experience across financial planning, digital transformation, and analytics-led decision making.
His appointment comes at a time when global engineering operations are becoming increasingly complex and distributed, requiring sharper financial oversight and agile planning. With Barun at the helm of FP&A for engineering, Boeing appears to be tightening its financial playbook as it looks to scale innovation with discipline.
