Bioenergy Business Analysis
Praj Industries operates across multiple areas of sustainable engineering, with bioenergy forming a key part of its business portfolio alongside water and wastewater treatment and industrial process solutions.
Thanki’s appointment brings extensive infrastructure and project execution experience to the organisation. His background in large-scale wastewater treatment projects is particularly relevant to the engineering and water management side of Praj’s operations.
The appointment announcement does not, however, establish whether he will be directly involved in the company’s bioenergy projects or a particular business division.
