Overview
Rohit Bafna has been President of TCR Engineering Services Pvt. Ltd. since 2007, the second generation of the family that founded the company in 1973. He leads a group of more than 400 people across seven countries, accredited to NABL ISO/IEC 17025:2017 with 1,483 scope items and to NADCAP AC7101, whose reports are accepted by Saudi Aramco, Petroleum Development Oman, ONGC, Reliance, L&T and Tata Power. He owns strategy, operations, business development and the digital agenda, and is a Director of TCR Advanced Engineering, Vadodara, and TCR Arabia, Dammam.
Background and experience
Rohit Bafna is President of TCR Engineering. He leads strategy, operations, digital transformation, business development and compliance across the group.
- Remit: strategy, operations, digital transformation, business development and compliance across the group.
- Digital: the AI agenda, the AiOM asset-integrity platform, and the brand and website.
- Also owned: HR policy and group investment.
- Footprint: India, the GCC and Southeast Asia, including the partner relationships that extend it.
- Beyond TCR: a board member of Each One, Teach One.
Under his leadership TCR has grown from a Navi Mumbai materials laboratory into a group that tests and inspects for infrastructure, oil and gas, power and manufacturing clients in seven countries, working alongside government bodies, EPC contractors and multinational operators. The work is held to international quality standards, including NABL accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and NADCAP AC7101 Materials Testing accreditation, and it sits behind projects of national importance.
His approach is strategic and hands-on in equal measure. Building on the foundation laid by his father, V.K. Bafna, he has driven the group’s digital transformation: the AI agenda, the AiOM asset-integrity platform, and the systems that carry a fifty-year archive of failure investigations into daily client work.
Before TCR, Rohit worked in international business development with Mphasis and Verizon, delivering technology programmes for clients including Chase, ABN AMRO and Singapore Airlines. That grounding in enterprise delivery shapes how TCR builds its own systems today.
He is a board member of Each One, Teach One, which educates underprivileged children in India. Outside work his interests run to fine watches, art, cinema, gastronomy and travel. He holds that leadership is stewardship: building an organisation that outlasts the people who run it.
