With over two decades of leadership experience across distinguished brands such as Electrolux, Franke Faber, Hettich, and Whirlpool, Mr. Vishal Raman blends strategic insight with extensive industry experience. As the Managing Director of RATIONAL India since 2022, he has been steering the company’s efforts to build awareness and drive the adoption of advanced combi-steamer technology, which is still a relatively new concept in modern Indian kitchens.
For Mr. Vishal, leadership is not about titles but about empowering teams, cultivating trust, and delivering consistent quality. He emphasizes that no restaurant can afford a kitchen breakdown on a busy Friday night. Hence, investing in a premium yet reliable solution is far wiser than settling for cheaper alternatives with poor service support. RATIONAL’s 50% market share in India stands as a testament to the fact that customers value quality and reliability when they truly understand their long-term benefits.
Through the establishment of over 25 live demo kitchens across India, RATIONAL allows chefs to experience how German-engineered systems can authentically reproduce Indian flavours while enhancing efficiency and consistency. Under Vishal’s visionary leadership, the brand successfully balances global innovation with local relevance, solidifying its reputation as a trusted partner in India’s rapidly evolving F&B industry.
Recognised as one of the Most Inspiring Managing Directors in India, Mr. Vishal Raman shared his insights with Corporate TrendZ:
“I define leadership success by the success of the team. If the team grows, delivers results, and evolves professionally, it reflects positively on the leader. A leader’s achievement is essentially a reflection of the collective success of the team they empower.”
