MUMBAI: Livguard just hit the power button on a bold new chapter. The energy storage and solar solutions brand under the SAR Group announced the appointment of Sameer Nagpal as its new MD & CEO on 23 April 2025.

Nagpal, a seasoned business leader with more than 30 years of cross-industry experience, is expected to supercharge Livguard’s growth in the renewable energy sector—a space that’s heating up with India’s push for sustainability and self-reliance.

Before plugging into Livguard, Nagpal led transformation and growth across firms like Dalmia Bharat, Shalimar Paints, Trane Technologies, Zicom Electronic Security Systems and Carrier Corporation. His CV reads like a blueprint for business turnarounds, and his knack for profit-first strategies and team-led growth makes him well-suited to scale a brand navigating India’s evolving energy landscape.

"I am excited to join this dynamic and forward-thinking company at a time when the energy industry is undergoing a fundamental shift... My vision for the future of energy solutions is rooted in Livguard’s core values of innovation, reliability, and customer-centricity," said Nagpal.

SAR Group founder Rakesh Malhotra added, "Sameer’s exceptional leadership and proven ability to drive transformative growth align perfectly with our vision... His experience and strategic mindset make him an ideal fit to lead Livguard into its next phase of growth."

With India’s energy ambitions accelerating, particularly in solar power and lithium-ion storage, Livguard is positioning itself as a front-runner. Under Nagpal’s watch, the company aims to scale across residential, commercial and industrial segments, delivering smart energy solutions without burning out customer wallets.
