India, May 4 -- Goose Industrial Solutions, a leading Indian process automation company specializing in the food and beverage sector, has appointed Mr. Girish Nair as Chief Operating Officer (COO), strengthening its leadership as it enters a new phase of growth, digital transformation, and international expansion.
Based in Kochi, Girish Nair brings over 14 years of experience with Siemens in Industrial Automation & Drives, along with a strong track record in Indias automation industry. In his new role, he will lead operations, engineering delivery, and overseas expansion as Goose scales its integrated automation ecosystem across India, the Middle East, and Africa.
Building a strong automation and digitalization foundation
Founded in 2017, Goose Industrial Solutions has built a reputation for delivering advanced automation and digitalization solutions for the dairy, beverage, and food processing industries. With more than 50 food and beverage automation projects delivered across India, and active teams in Kochi, Pune, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Noida, the company continues to strengthen its position through technology-led innovation and engineering excellence.
Speaking on the development, Managing Director Mr. Fenil P. Cyriac highlighted the companys focus on accelerating digitalization and building a structured, technology-enabled industrial service ecosystem. The food and beverage industry in India is at an inflection point. While plants are investing in new equipment, the digital intelligence layer required to maximize performance is still missing in most facilities. That is the gap Goose is working to close systematically and sustainably, he said.
A key milestone in this strategy is the successful implementation of Gooses AI-powered maintenance and service platform, already operational in live dairy plants. The platform connects industries with qualified technicians, enabling faster maintenance response, predictive support, and reduced downtime.
Director Mr. Jithin Eliyas emphasized the platforms impact, stating, We have built an AI-powered system that connects industries with technicians for fast, on-demand maintenance and downtime reduction. It has been effectively trialed and implemented in dairies as part of the Goose ecosystem.
Integrated ecosystem supporting end-to-end automation
The companys broader ecosystem includes:
Goose Digital AI dashboards for energy monitoring, predictive maintenance, CIP optimization, and OEE tracking
Goose Service Shield structured AMC and industrial maintenance management
AI Service Platform live technician-connect platform for dairy facilities
Goose Elevate automation training platform powered by Elev-AI

Goose Mart / DairyStore marketplace for industrial spares and consumables
Expanding footprint across MEA
As part of its international growth roadmap, Goose Industrial Solutions is actively expanding into the Middle East and Africa (MEA) regions witnessing rapid investment in food processing and dairy infrastructure.
Mr. Arun Jacob, Director Sales & Marketing, noted the strong demand in these markets, The Middle East and Africa are seeing rapid growth in food and beverage processing investments. There is a clear demand for integrated automation, digitalization, and service capabilities like the ones Goose has developed. We are scaling up in these regions with conviction and a clear value proposition.
Strengthening operations for long-term global growth
The appointment of Mr. Nair underscores the companys focus on building a robust operational foundation to support its expanding project portfolio, AI-driven automation initiatives, and long-term industry partnerships across emerging global markets.
As Goose Industrial Solutions advances its vision, it continues to adopt a steady and disciplined approachfocused on execution, capability building, and long-term value creation. In an industry that increasingly demands reliable partners with deep process understanding and end-to-end accountability, the company is positioning itself as a trusted technology and automation partner across evolving global markets.
