India’s leading container glass manufacturer Hindusthan National Glass & Industries Limited (HNGIL) has appointed Bharathi Mangaiahgari as its Chief Human Resources Officer.
She was most recently at Mahathi Infra Services as VP of Human Resources.
Bharathi, who has spent close to three decades in HR roles, will be working alongside the leadership team on the company’s people strategy and workforce planning. The appointment comes at a point where HNGIL is pushing hard on transformation and operational priorities following a change in ownership last year.

Bharathi’s background cuts across a wide spread of industries. She has done stints in tech, manufacturing, renewables, infrastructure, biotech, pharma, and EPC. She has also worked outside India, in the US, the UK, Israel, and Malaysia. Much of her career has revolved around tying together HR operations across borders, rolling out digital systems, and getting leadership pipelines in order.
Kumar Krishnan, MD, HNGIL, commenting on the move, said: “We are delighted to welcome Bharathi to HNGIL at a pivotal time in our journey. Her deep expertise in building high-performance organizations and leading HR transformation across diverse industries will be instrumental as we strengthen our people strategy and accelerate our next phase of growth.”
Bharthi’s hiring is one among a string of marquee appointments since HNGIL’s acquisition by Independent Sugar Corporation Ltd (INSCO), part of the Uganda-based Madhvani–Turner Group.
Bharthi has also worked as CHRO woth Patil Rail Infrastructure, a company with over 8,000 employees and several manufacturing sites. That job had her handling everything from compliance and governance to digitising HR processes from the ground up.
