Generac Names APAC HR Lead With Talent Focus
Operators running regional hiring should note that recruitment and HR-platform depth is what multinationals are prioritizing in regional HR leaders.
Updated on Nov. 6, 2026 in People
Generac has appointed Chandreyi Das Sharma as its regional HR lead for Asia-Pacific, a role she took up in September 2026. She previously spent four years at Tega Industries leading talent acquisition and HR business partnering for a large business unit.
Why it matters
A regional HR appointment at a multinational signals how a manufacturer is building its people function in Asia-Pacific, a region where talent acquisition and HR systems shape hiring speed and workforce planning for businesses operating across the region.
Sharma brings over 17 years of HR experience, including more than eight years at M N Dastur & Co. and four years at Tega Industries. Her tenure at Tega Industries ran from October 2022 to September 2026, during which she led global and pan-India talent acquisition.
The players
Generac
Generac is a manufacturer of power generation and energy technology products, known for standby backup generators and related home and commercial energy systems.
Tega Industries
Tega Industries is an India-based manufacturer of mineral processing and wear-resistant equipment serving the mining and minerals sectors.
M N Dastur & Co.
M N Dastur & Co. is an Indian industrial and process-engineering consultancy known for its work in the chemicals and process industries.
The details
At Tega Industries, Sharma led global and pan-India talent acquisition, covering senior leadership hiring, campus recruitment and workforce planning, and managed the HR business partnering function for a large business unit. Earlier, at M N Dastur & Co., she led HR automation initiatives involving Oracle PeopleSoft and ZingHR, and she served as project manager for the implementation of Darwinbox at Tega Industries. Her career began as a trainee at Adecco in September 2009.
Timeline
September 2026: Sharma took up the Generac regional HR - APAC role after leaving Tega Industries.
October 2022: Sharma joined Tega Industries as head - talent acquisition and HR business partner.
October 2018: Sharma became manager - HR at M N Dastur & Co.
Market Landscape
The move follows a common pattern in which HR leaders with hands-on experience in talent acquisition and HR systems at Indian industrial firms take regional roles at multinationals. Her track record of HR automation work at M N Dastur & Co. and Tega Industries aligns with the platform-driven HR processes many mid-sized employers now run.
Operators running regional HR functions in Asia-Pacific should note that talent acquisition and HR system experience are the capabilities multinationals are prioritizing in regional HR hires. Businesses reviewing their own HR technology stack may find it useful to benchmark how their talent acquisition processes compare.
The takeaway
For operators, the signal is that regional HR leadership is being filled by people with recruitment and HR-platform implementation depth. Businesses should review whether their own talent acquisition processes and HR systems can support hiring at the scale their growth requires.
