“Gbile is a respected global leader with deep experience across Cummins and a strong track record of delivering customer-focused growth and business performance. His enterprise perspective, ability to build high-performing teams and commitment to our customers make him exceptionally well positioned to lead Cummins India Limited and the India region while continuing to advance our Industrial Markets strategy.”
Adewunmi currently serves as Vice President, Power Systems Industrial Markets at Cummins. In that role he has led work with customers and partners across demanding industrial markets, including mining, to deliver practical and scalable power solutions. He has worked with those customers and partners to advance hybrid-electric retrofit solutions, mining technologies and other power solutions that support their productivity, reliability and emissions-reduction goals.
“I am honored to take on this expanded role and to work alongside the talented teams across Cummins India Limited, the India region and Industrial Markets. India is a critical market for Cummins, and I look forward to partnering with our employees, customers and stakeholders to build on our strong foundation and continue powering a more prosperous world.”
Previously from Cummins Inc.
Adewunmi's Industrial Markets portfolio is centered heavily on mining, an area where Cummins has recently argued there is no one-size-fits-all decarbonization fix: the company says mines can cut carbon today with microgrids, hybrids and dual-fuel engines while keeping the flexibility to adopt full electrification later. Cummins has also named power choices, automation and remote sites as the trends shaping mining, as demand grows for copper, lithium and nickel. In late September, Cummins marked 100 years of powering the global mining industry and said it is developing lower-carbon options from hydrogen engines and fuel cells to HVO as it targets carbon neutrality by 2050.

Why this matters
Cummins describes India as a strategic growth market and an important part of its future, so the executive leading the region has a direct hand in how the company serves customers there. Adewunmi is keeping his Industrial Markets job alongside the India role, which means mining and other industrial customers continue working with the same leader.
