T Suvarna Raju has taken charge as Chairman, HAL. Raju, known for speeding up the company’s patent filing, has taken over the reins from Dr R K Tyagi.
“Given the high expectation built around the company, my priorities would be to concentrate on operational excellence, and build the company as a technology powerhouse,” he said.
He said he wanted HAL to stand out as an example of the Government’s ‘Make-in-India’ endeavour, even while admitting that it would be a challenging task to achieve in the field of aviation.
Born in the village of P Vemavaram of Tanuku (West Godavari) district in Andhra Pradesh, Raju, an engineering graduate, joined HAL on June 26, 1980, as a Management Trainee.
