About Ravindra Pandeji

I love to touch people\'s lives by developing and coaching them to go to the next level of skillset and humanity.My journey with Schneider Electric began in 2004 when I joined the Sales team as a GET- Graduate trainee engineer. Now, after 2 decades with Schneider Electric, I have led various sales teams with a strong focus on growth in sales, people development and building inclusive teams. Since then I have had an exceptional record of creating customer value, leading business transformation (Cultural, IT, Management, Digital processes), driving significant revenue growth, grooming a solid talent pipeline, and rapidly increasing enterprise value.My philosophy of driving organizational growth is by unleashing hidden/trapped human potential, leveraging exceptional talent, growing sales, and strategically moving the organization ahead with support from local innovations and home-grown IT expertise. I want to be approachable with an attitude of “simple to do business with” and believe that when benchmarking happens among equals, speed makes all the difference.A “Digital ambassador” within the organization, I am part of the core team to form the strategy for the digitization sales process and to unify the ERP systems and aligned processes. Genuinely believe that innovations in digital are making a profound impact on improving the quality of the sales force, leading to smart and sustainable business models, and improving the standard of living/quality of life of employees and customers in India and globally.An advocate of “women employment” and “age diversity” at workplace to create the inclusive environment.In last 21 Years I am passionately practicing the management theories lived by Le Iacocca, Jack Welch, Ram Charan, Larry Bossidy, William Oncken and Ricardo Semler. Entrepreneur at heart, truly want to touch peoples lives and make the place as a “Great Business place” where everyone contributes happily, on their own.At Schneider Electric, we believe access to energy and digital is a basic human right. We empower all (Homes, Buildings, Data Centers, Infrastructure, and Industries) to make the most of their energy and resources, ensuring Life Is On Everywhere, for Everyone, at every moment.Today, Schneider Electric is leading the Digital Transformation of Energy Management & automation. We attribute our success to our customers, partners and great people at Schneider Electric.
