Hansgrohe Appoints Abdulkader Bengali as India Managing Director

Hansgrohe Group, the German manufacturer of premium bathroom and kitchen solutions, has appointed Abdulkader Bengali as Managing Director for its India operations, effective August 18, 2025. 

With over 26 years of leadership in the construction and building materials sector, Bengali has held key roles at Sintex BAPL, ALP Aeroflex, and Owens Corning. A gold medallist engineer from NIT Surat and an Executive MBA from SP Jain, he is known for driving business turnarounds and high-growth strategies. 

Welcoming the appointment, Thomas Stopper, Vice President Asia, Hansgrohe Group, said: “We are delighted to welcome Abdulkader Bengali to the Hansgrohe family. His exceptional track record in transforming businesses and deep expertise in the Indian market make him the ideal leader to drive our continued expansion in this strategic region.” 

The move comes as Hansgrohe looks to tap into India’s fast-growing bathroom fittings market, projected to reach USD 16.67 billion by 2030. The luxury fittings segment alone is expected to almost double in value by 2032, driven by rising disposable incomes and urbanisation. 

Founded in 1901, Hansgrohe operates in over 190 countries and is globally recognised for innovation, sustainability, and premium design. With Bengali at the helm, the group aims to strengthen its foothold in India and accelerate growth.
