HPE India Appoints Bhawna Agarwal As New SVP And Managing Director

Hewlett Packard Enterprise has announced that Bhawna Agarwal has been appointed to the role of senior vice president and managing director of HPE in India, reporting to the Executive Vice President and Chief Sales Officer Heiko Meyer. The new appointment will be effective immediately. 

Bhawna assumes leadership of HPE's India business from Som Satsangi, who retires from HPE after more than 27 years of service. Som joined Compaq in 1997 and, following the Compaq acquisition by HP in 2002, became a regional sales manager in India, continuing to gain sales leadership responsibilities through HP/HPE's enterprise business. Som became managing director of HPE India in 2016.

Bhawna joined HPE in 2019 to lead the Compute Business Unit and Growth team and has been leading Account Management and Industry Verticals for India for a year. She has over 25 years of diverse leadership experience in digital start-ups, media houses and large consumer tech companies.

"I am honoured to take on the role of managing director of HPE India," Agarwal said. "I look forward to building on the strong foundation laid by Som and continuing to drive growth, scaling our impact and innovation in the region."

"Together with our talented team, we will strive to achieve new milestones, shaping a future reflective of our ambitions and delivering exceptional value to our customers and partners," Agarwal said.
