With his leadership in agri-tech and farm machinery, this move is expected to guide TAFE into a more advanced and farmer-friendly future.
Dr. Kesavan has been a part of the brand’s executive management for many years. He played an important role in shaping new products, market plans, and sustainability projects.

Dr. Kesavan has always supported using technology in farming. Under his guidance, the brand has introduced smart tractors and digital tools for rural development. This fits well with India’s efforts to modernise farming and help small and marginal farmers grow better.
Now as Group President, he is likely to lead efforts in climate-smart farming, build new international partnerships, and bring more tech-driven solutions to the fields. These steps aim to make farming more productive and climate-ready.
Dr. Kesavan is also known for standing up for farmers. He believes that farm equipment should be easy to get, affordable, and eco-friendly. His approach to leadership combines smart business thinking with a deep concern for the rural community. This makes TAFE more than just a company—it becomes a partner in rural change and growth.
This leadership change is more than a promotion. It shows TAFE’s plan to invest in research, eco-friendly technology, and digital platforms for farming. With Dr. Kesavan guiding the way, the company is ready to take on new challenges in Indian and global agriculture. His ideas are likely to push farmer-first innovation and help shape the next chapter of smart, sustainable farming.
