Mohit Rane named head of marketing and communication at TotalEnergies

MUMBAI: Mohit Rane has stepped into a bigger spotlight at TotalEnergies, taking on the role of head of marketing and communication for India. The promotion marks a key moment for both Rane and the energy major, as it sharpens its brand voice in a market racing towards transition and transformation.

In his expanded role, Rane will steer marketing and communications across India, with a clear mandate. Build the brand, deepen stakeholder engagement and lend momentum to TotalEnergies’ clean energy ambitions and business growth plans. In short, he is now the custodian of how the company tells its story in one of its most important markets.

Rane is no stranger to the organisation. Over the past two years, he has worn multiple hats at TotalEnergies, moving from Strategy and Business Development to leading the Clean Cooking Project, before landing this top marketing role in January 2026. Each stint added a new layer, from commercial strategy to on-ground impact, making his elevation a natural next step.

Before joining TotalEnergies, Rane spent over 13 years at Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, where he rose through the ranks across operations, engineering, sales, marketing and corporate strategy. The journey took him from refinery floors and regional offices to the company’s headquarters, giving him a rare, end to end view of India’s energy ecosystem.

He began his career with Larsen and Toubro as a project trainee, laying the technical foundation that continues to inform his business decisions today.

With a blend of engineering roots, strategic thinking and marketing muscle, Rane now finds himself at the crossroads of brand building and energy transition. For TotalEnergies India, the message is clear. The story ahead will be sharper, louder and told with purpose.
