The ARCC displays the breadth and depth of our talented human capital to steer strategic plans and achieve our Group Vision. Working together, we create value while staying true to our common purpose and core values.
Growth Committee (GROCOM)
The second tier comprises of GROCOM which is a larger leadership body which comprises the senior leaders across the Group including all business heads, group function heads and the senior operations and marketing heads.

The above two tier structure ensures that the strategic management being free from the task of day-to-day executive management, remains focused and energised on enhancing the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of each Company.

Whistle Blower
Amara Raja believes in the conduct of its affairs in a fair and transparent manner by adopting highest standards of professionalism, honesty, integrity and ethical behavior. It is committed to developing a culture where it is safe for all people to raise concerns about any unacceptable practices and any event of misconduct.
Amara Raja has adopted a Vigil mechanism or “Whistle Blower Policy”. Under this policy all stake holders have access to the ombudsman to raise any concerns without fear.
The purpose of the policy is to provide people an avenue to raise concerns and report to the management instances of unethical behavior, actual or suspected fraud or violation of the Company’s policies and to promote responsible and secure whistle blowing and to provide necessary safeguards for protection of people from reprisals or victimization, for whistle blowing in good faith.
The policy neither releases employees from their duty of confidentiality in the course of their work, nor can it be used as a route for raising malicious or unfounded allegations about a personal situation.
