A major state-owned company, Power Grid Corporation, announced on January 1 that its leadership would be changing in a big way. Ravindra Kumar Tyagi has been named the new Chairman and Managing Director (CMD). He takes over from Sreekant Kandikuppa, who quit when he turned 60.

Background with education and work

That’s why Tyagi, who is 57 years old, is so good at his new job. He went to Punjab Engineering College (PEC) in Chandigarh and got a degree in Electrical Engineering.

He got his M.Tech in Energy Studies from the well-known IIT Delhi to improve his skills. As a “Fulbright Scholar” from Carnegie Mellon University in the USA, he has even more intellectual credentials.
