Sandipan Bhattacharya appointed Associate Vice President at DDEV Plastiks Industries Limited

DDEV Plastiks Industries Limited, a leading Indian manufacturer of polymer compounds for the cable and allied sectors, has appointed Sandipan Bhattacharya as Associate Vice President in a recent leadership move flagged by CXO Lanes. The appointment signals DDEV’s intent to strengthen its operational and business‑development muscle as the company continues to expand capacity and diversify its compound‑product portfolio to meet rising domestic and global demand.
Bhattacharya brings a strong track record in general‑management, operations, and large‑account leadership, having previously served as General Manager & Chief Operations Manager at Exide Industries Limited, where he oversaw the automotive‑division’s sales, marketing, after‑sales, and operations across Eastern India and parts of South Asia. His experience spans end‑to‑end business‑execution, P&L ownership, and supply‑chain‑anchored growth, making him well suited to drive DDEV’s performance in a capital‑intensive, highly competitive polymer‑compounds landscape.
In his new role at DDEV Plastiks, Bhattacharya is expected to play a key part in scaling the company’s core businesses, XLPE, Sioplas, PVC, and related cable compounds, while supporting the firm’s push into higher‑value, specialty‑grade polymers and value‑added formulations. DDEV, which already holds a leading position in India’s XLPE segment and supplies long‑standing partners such as major cable and infrastructure firms, is looking to align its leadership structure with a multi‑location, multi‑product growth strategy, including possible expansion into adjacent advanced‑materials and polymer‑application domains.
Analysts and industry watchers note that the hire reflects a broader trend among Indian polymer and cable‑compounds makers to bring in senior‑operational‑managers with cross‑sector experience, as they seek to balance capacity‑expansion with disciplined margins, supply‑chain resilience, and customer‑centric innovation. Bhattacharya’s ground‑level understanding of large‑account management and regional‑execution is expected to help DDEV deepen its relationships with OEMs and export‑oriented partners, while reinforcing internal processes that support consistent quality, on‑time delivery, and cost‑optimisation.
