New Delhi, Nov 19 (NationPress) Indraneel Dutt, who holds the position of Managing Director and CEO at the water management firm Ion Exchange (India) Ltd, has mapped out innovative growth strategies focused on digital transformation and expansion of the company.

Having joined initially as Managing Director, Dutt has now completed two years in his current role. He is a staunch supporter of digital transformation and collaboration. He stepped into the role after Rajesh Sharma, the company’s former Chairman & Managing Director, who continues to provide guidance as the Executive Chairman.

Dutt has significantly enhanced Ion Exchange’s six-decade legacy with a leadership style characterized by vision, operational excellence, innovation, sustainability, and a steadfast dedication to people.

“The future solutions will arise from technology, innovation, and partnerships across governments, industries, and communities -- Ion Exchange is poised to spearhead this transformation,” Dutt stated.

Bringing a worldwide perspective from his varied experience in the energy and resources sectors, Dutt has played a crucial role in extending Ion Exchange’s international reach.

Exports have seen consistent growth as the company provides advanced products and solutions to various regions, reinforcing India’s status as a center for sustainable water and environmental technologies.

“Our aim is to establish Ion Exchange as a global standard for Total Water and Environment Management,” Dutt remarked.

In response to increasing global demand, the company is also constructing a new resin manufacturing facility in Roha, Maharashtra, dedicated to creating solvent-free products while minimizing hazardous chemicals usage.

Ion Exchange’s INDION Resins, Hydramem Membranes, and Water Treatment Chemicals are essential to the company’s technological advantage.

Collectively, they have solidified Ion Exchange’s status as a frontrunner in water, wastewater, solid waste, and waste-to-energy solutions -- a portfolio few companies globally can rival.

“We are taking premium, high-performance 'Made in India' products to the global market,” Dutt stated.

“Growth must always be aligned with responsibility -- sustainability is a key principle in every solution Ion Exchange develops, optimizing water, energy, and waste efficiency,” he added.

Under Dutt’s leadership, Ion Exchange has fast-tracked its digital transformation journey.

“Digital not only boosts efficiency; it delivers value for our partners by ensuring reliability, performance optimization, and cost savings throughout the lifecycle. We aspire to be a forward-thinking partner for companies worldwide in water management,” he emphasized.

Equally focused on personnel and organizational development, Dutt has also promoted HR transformation to create a more agile, transparent, and interconnected workplace. By empowering younger professionals and fostering diverse talent, he is nurturing the next generation of leaders for the global water industry.

“Our people are our greatest asset,” he asserted. “Their enthusiasm and dedication propel Ion Exchange forward.”

Apart from business, Ion Exchange contributes to social impact through its CSR branch, Ion Foundation. Programs like AquaNaari have facilitated women in restarting or building careers in the water sector, exemplifying the company’s commitment to inclusion and comprehensive progress.

With a turnover of Rs 2,540 crore in FY 2024-25 and a net profit after tax increase of 5.09 percent, Ion Exchange continues to showcase robust growth and industry leadership.
