Nov 2026 : Marking a major milestone in a two-decade journey with the company, Emerson has recently appointed Praveen More as Director Operations, Isolation Valves, for its Talegaon facility.

More’s advancement reflects an enduring commitment to manufacturing leadership within the global flow control sector. Having been an integral part of Emerson since 2005, Praveen has spent over 20 years guiding key functions across supply chain, project management, and plant operations - most recently serving as Operations Leader, and previously heading Project Management and Supply Chain & Production Control for the Isolation Valves business unit in Pune.

Praveen’s long-standing leadership at Emerson is built upon a rich, 34-year career across India’s industrial and engineering landscape. Praveen forged his early technical foundation in production engineering at Deccan Mechanical and Chemical Industries (DEMECH) and manufacturing management at Gorson Enterprises. He then broadened his domain expertise in fluid handling through purchasing and supply chain roles at Alfa Laval Saunders (now Crane Process Flow Technologies) and Voltas Limited’s Pump Division. That operational acumen culminated in nearly a decade at Virgo Engineers Ltd, where he led operations across Pune and Chennai facilities prior to Virgo’s acquisition by Emerson.

Praveen earned a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from KLS Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum, followed by a Post Graduate Diploma in Materials Management from the Prin. L.N. Welingkar Institute of Management Development & Research.
