Uniparts India appoints Manish Singh as Chief Human Resources Officer.

Veteran HR leader Manish Singh brings nearly 23 years of experience to Uniparts India, where he will lead the company's people strategy and organisational transformation agenda.

Uniparts India has appointed Manish Singh as Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO), strengthening its leadership team as the company sharpens its focus on people strategy, talent development and organisational transformation.

Singh assumed the role on August 17, 2026, bringing nearly 23 years of experience in human resources across key HR functions and business environments. In his new role, he is expected to lead Uniparts India's overall human resources strategy while aligning the organisation's people priorities with its long-term business objectives.

Extensive HR Leadership Experience

Singh joins Uniparts India with extensive experience spanning strategic human resources management, business partnering, talent acquisition, employee development and organisational effectiveness.

A significant part of his professional journey has been with Blue Star, where he held multiple HR leadership responsibilities over the years. His experience working closely with business teams and managing evolving workforce requirements is expected to support Uniparts India as it continues to strengthen its organisational capabilities.

With businesses increasingly looking at HR leaders as strategic partners rather than purely functional heads, Singh's appointment places him at the centre of Uniparts India's efforts to develop talent, strengthen its organisational culture and prepare its workforce for future business requirements.

Focus on People Strategy and Organisational Transformation

As CHRO, Singh is expected to play a key role in shaping the company's people and culture agenda, with focus areas likely to include leadership development, talent management, workforce planning, employee engagement, capability building and organisational transformation.

His appointment comes at a time when manufacturing and engineering organisations are navigating significant workforce changes driven by digitalisation, automation, evolving skill requirements and increasing global competition.

For HR leaders in the manufacturing ecosystem, the mandate is expanding beyond traditional workforce management. Building future-ready skills, strengthening leadership pipelines, creating agile organisations and improving employee experiences have become integral to sustaining business growth.

Singh's experience will therefore be important in connecting Uniparts India's people strategy with these changing business realities.

Supporting Uniparts India's Global Growth Journey

Founded in 1994, Uniparts India Limited is a global manufacturer of engineered systems and solutions, serving the off-highway market across areas including agriculture, construction, forestry and mining. The company supplies systems and components to customers across international markets and maintains manufacturing and warehousing operations across India, the United States and Europe.

As a globally connected engineering organisation, the company's ability to attract, retain and develop specialised talent is increasingly important. A strong HR strategy can play a critical role in maintaining organisational capabilities while enabling innovation, operational excellence and international growth.

Singh's appointment as CHRO signals an increased focus on aligning talent, culture and organisational capabilities with business strategy.

What the Appointment Means

The appointment also reflects a broader shift taking place across corporate India. CHROs are increasingly becoming key members of executive leadership teams, contributing directly to decisions around business transformation, workforce productivity, technology adoption, leadership succession and organisational design.

With nearly 23 years of HR experience behind him, Singh will now have the opportunity to shape the next phase of Uniparts India's people journey.

As the company continues to operate across global markets and adapt to changing industry requirements, his leadership will be crucial in building an agile workforce, strengthening the leadership pipeline and creating a people ecosystem capable of supporting sustainable growth.
