Vayona Energy appoints Pritesh Vinay as CEO

Vayona Energy, a wind turbine original equipment manufacturer (OEM), has appointed Pritesh Vinay as its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) with effect from 5 January 2026. The leadership change is intended to advance the company’s strategy following its formation from the acquisition of Siemens Gamesa’s onshore wind business in India and Sri Lanka.

The appointment comes as Vayona Energy operates as an independent platform established in December 2024 after an acquisition led by TPG and MAVCO Investments. The company said the transition supports its growth plans focused on scale, capital efficiency, and innovation, at a time of expansion and consolidation in India’s wind power sector.

Vinay brings more than 25 years of leadership experience across renewable energy, infrastructure, and capital markets. He most recently served as Director (Finance) and Chief Financial Officer at JSW Energy. His earlier experience includes senior roles at the JSW Group, Goldman Sachs, Edelweiss Capital, and the Aditya Birla Group.

As CEO, Vinay will focus on strengthening market position, expanding manufacturing capacity, and deepening customer relationships. Vayona Energy currently employs around 1,000 people and has a portfolio of more than 12 GW of operational and under development assets, with a stated objective of delivering scalable operations and improved customer outcomes.

Commenting on the appointment, Vinay said the company is at a critical stage of growth and that he looks forward to working with the Board, employees, and customers to build an execution focused organisation. Executive Vice Chairman Prashant Jain said Vinay’s strategic perspective and execution capabilities position him to lead the company through its next phase of growth.

Vayona Energy Private is an India and South Asia focused wind turbine original equipment manufacturer with two manufacturing facilities. The company is backed by TPG, MAVCO Investments, and Prashant Jain, and has a technology collaboration with Siemens Energy as a strategic shareholder.
