<h1>Electronics maker promotes India rep to chairman's office; names former Sharp Japan CEO as new India representative</h1> The electronics manufacturer elevated its India representative to a role in the chairman's office with business development responsibilities and named a successor - a former CEO of its Sharp subsidiary in Japan - as the new India representative effective this week. The India representative role is the company's senior-most position in the country and reports to headquarters. Under the promoted executive, the India business surpassed USD 20 billion in revenue and grew to nearly 80,000 employees. The appointment comes amid sector uncertainty from potential US tariffs and informal Chinese restrictions affecting Indian electronics manufacturing.
