From Revolt Motors to Lumax World
Before joining Lumax World, Pruthi was the Chief Human Resources Officer at Revolt Motors, where she worked from June 2025 to October 2026. The role placed her in a senior HR leadership position within the electric mobility sector.
Her move to Lumax World marks the next chapter in a career that has largely focused on supporting organisations operating in technical and engineering-led industries.

Her experience at a technical R&D centre is particularly relevant to her new role, which focuses on people and talent across global engineering and research operations. Engineering-led organisations depend on specialised skills, effective collaboration and the development of future leaders to support their long-term goals.

These priorities connect people strategy with the demands of engineering and research, where specialised expertise and collaboration can play an important role in business progress.
Bringing HR Leadership to Engineering and Technology
Pruthi’s appointment reflects the importance of HR leadership in organisations where technical capabilities and innovation are central to business operations. Building teams with the right skills, preparing future leaders and enabling collaboration across locations are important considerations for companies developing global engineering capabilities.
Her experience at Marelli India Technical R&D Centre and Revolt Motors brings together exposure to technical R&D and electric mobility. At Lumax World, she will apply her HR leadership experience to the organisation’s global R&D priorities.
