Dr. Abdul Kader has been elevated to Vice President – NI Sales, Pan India at TK Elevator, marking a significant step in his leadership journey within the vertical transportation industry. In this role, he is positioned to lead new installation sales across India, with a mandate centred on business development, revenue growth, market expansion and strategic customer engagement. The role assumes importance as infrastructure development, urbanisation and investment in commercial and transportation projects continue to shape demand for elevators and escalators in India. Driving new installation sales requires close coordination with developers, consultants, contractors and other project stakeholders, alongside a strong focus on key accounts and project execution. Kader’s elevation reflects his progression through multiple leadership positions within TK Elevator, including Regional General Manager and Regional Deputy General Manager, positioning him to contribute to the company’s nationwide sales strategy and growth priorities.
Kader’s career spans more than two decades in the elevator and escalator industry, with experience across sales, marketing, infrastructure projects and international business development. Before joining TK Elevator in 2019, he served as Senior General Manager at ESCON Elevators, leading pan-India sales and marketing, and previously headed infrastructure project sales at Otis Elevator Co. His earlier career included a regional management role with Schindler in the Middle East, where he oversaw new installation sales and business development, supported distributor operations and developed relationships with consultants, architects, developers and contractors. During this period, he contributed to sustained double-digit growth in turnover and profitability through landmark projects involving airports, metros and stadiums. He began his career with KONE ELEVATORS PTY LTD as a Sales Engineer before moving to Eta Melco Elevator, where he developed expertise in tendering, technical coordination, client negotiations and installation processes. This combination of commercial leadership and project-level experience underpins his expanded national sales responsibilities.
