Suzlon Energy founder Tulsi Tanti dies of cardiac arrest #IndiaNEWS #Business
New Delhi: Suzlon Energy founder Tulsi Tanti, popularly known as Indias wind man, died of cardiac arrest at 64 on Saturday evening, the company said.
One of the pioneers of the wind energy business in India and a globally renowned expert on clean energy, Tanti envisioned the opportunity in the renewable energy industry back in 1995 when the global wind energy market was dominated by international players.
Under his leadership, Suzlon Energy grew to become the countrys largest wind energy player with 19. 4 gigawatt (GW) of cumulative installed capacity, 33 per cent market share in India and a presence in 17 countries. It has over 2 GW installed capacity in its second largest market, the US.
With profound sadness, we inform you of the untimely demise of Shri Tulsi R Tanti, the Founder, the Chairman and Managing Director, and one of the promoters of Suzlon Energy Ltd on October 1, 2022. Shri Tanti suffered a cardiac arrest and passed away the same day, the company said in a stock exchange filing.
Before foraying into wind energy, Tanti owned a textile business which he sold in 2001. Suzlon got its first order in the US in 2003 from DanMar & Associates for supply of 24 turbines in southwestern Minnesota.
In this difficult time, the company continues to be supported by its highly experienced board of directors and senior management who are both able and committed to taking Shri Tantis legacy forward and realise his vision for the company, the firm said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi too condoled his death.
Shri Tulsi Tanti was a pioneering business leader who contributed to Indias economic progress and strengthened our nations efforts to further sustainable development. Pained by his untimely demise. Condolences to his family and friends. Om Shanti, he tweeted.
Tanti complained of chest pain in his car in Pune after returning from a press conference in Ahmedabad. He asked the driver to take him to a hospital but died before getting any medical help.
He is survived by his wife Gita, son Pranav, and daughter Nidhi.
Born in 1958 in Rajkot, Tanti graduated from Gujarat University with a bachelors degree in commerce. He founded Suzlon Energy, now valued at Rs 8,535. 9 crore, in 1995.
He was also the chairman of Belgium-based turbine parts maker ZF Wind Power Antwerpen since May 10, 2006 and the president of the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association.
Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said: Saddened by the untimely demise of business leader & Founder of Suzlon Energy, Tulsi Tanti. Having spearheaded the wind revolution in India, he contributed immensely to the renewable energy sector & to Indias economic progress. Deepest condolences to his family & friends.
