Team Leadership

• Harjinder Singh Cheema (Special Director)

  Harjinder Singh Cheema is an alumnus of INS SHIVAJI (Naval College of Engineering). He missed being commissioned into the Indian Navy by a narrow margin due to unavoidable circumstances. Being an achiever by instinct and nature, the non-commissioning did not deter his passion for mechanical engineering. He pursued his career as an engineer and enhanced his professional credentials through a long association with the mechanical industry, including Thermax Limited, during which he accomplished landmark achievements. His vision, ultra-innovative skills, hard work and determination bestowed upon him a self-confidence to dream big and achieve bigger. In 1999 he established ‘Cheema Boilers Limited’, a company which has grown by leaps and bounds and it is now an ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSA 18001 and ASME Certified Company.

  ‘Cheema Boilers Limited’ is engaged in manufacturing all types of boilers ranging from 1 ton to 150 ton per hour capacity. The multi-fuel-boilers, being manufactured by the company, utilise bio mass fuel like rice husk, cotton stake, rice straw, mustard straw, coffee waste, coconut waste besides coal and oil. The industry is spread in 30 acres of lush green land near Kurali (Punjab) and as on date has employed 300 qualified engineers and a work force of 600 highly skilled personnel on its payroll. The company has been adjudged as India’s best performing mid-sized company by India Brand Equity Foundation.

  ‘JSV Automation Solutions’ is thankful to Mr. Harjinder Singh Cheema who extended his whole-hearted and all round support during the designing, coding and field trials of our ‘CBRN Decision Support System’ project. His resilient, altruistic and punctilious leadership qualities inspired the workforce and helped us in achieving what we had dreamt of. We are sanguine to avail benefits of his inspirational leadership and continued patronage in days to come.
