Mr. Damani, was considered a pioneer in the Indian automotive industry for introducing a range of polypropylene compounds and helping OEMs replace metals with plastics for new age automotive interiors, exteriors and under the hood applications, starting with Tata Mobile 207 in the late 80s. With global approvals from automotive OEMs like Nissan, Renault, Ford, GM, Toyota, Fiat, Volkswagen, Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Daimler, Navistar and so forth, Mr. Damani helped Zylog reach new highs, receiving accolades from the global plastics fraternity.

Mr. Aschak Damani
CEO and Executive Director
Aschak Damani joined Zylog in mid 2004; after completing his MBA from Chicago, USA.
After having trained in various areas of the business for the first 6 years; Aschak was tasked to develop new automotive OEM customers.
He worked closely with Renault Nissan, Toyota and Daimler to grow Zylog’s business in south India. This new business resulted in a new manufacturing facility in Chennai, wherein he gained extensive experience in setting up a full greenfield project right from planning to installation / commissioning to running an independent facility.
Besides this, Aschak continued to work closely in growing and developing accounts of Tata Motors, Mahindra, Volkswagen, Bajaj, TVS, Ashok Leyland and others pursuing new technology and application development, resulting in compounding capacity growth from 8,000 tons to 32,000 tons per annum, within 10 years.
In 2013, Aschak was provided an opportunity to diversify the company’s business, venturing into sheet extrusion for thermoformed auto components. This gave him an experience of starting a new company from scratch, working closely with the team to manage legal & statutory compliances, HR planning, budgeting & financial oversee, technology & process development, machine procurement and finally running an independent P&L.
In 2016, Aschak was an integral part of carving out and selling the PP compounding business to LyondellBasell. He was responsible for the M&A process working closely with the buyers, legal and due diligence teams; thus completing a full circle in a short career span of 12 years that included capacity expansion, new greenfield projects, new company setup, and an M&A transaction.
