About Anik
Anik Dharamshi is the elected President of the Fire Protection Association of India. He brings over two decades of leadership in the fire-protection industry, having driven product innovation and capacity expansion at HD Fire — one of India's most recognised manufacturers of fire-suppression and detection equipment.
His tenure at FPAI has emphasised three priorities: deeper alignment with the National Building Code, stronger member services, and broader international outreach.
Professional focus
- Policy and advocacy with central and state governments
- Standards harmonisation with NFPA and CFPA frameworks
- Member growth and capability programmes
- Industry-academia collaborations (notably with IIT Gandhinagar)
"Our goal isn't just to advance the industry — it's to make every Indian building, factory and home meaningfully safer. That requires standards, training, and the political will to enforce them."
Recent contributions
- Led the 30th FPAI conference at Taj Skyline, Ahmedabad
- Strengthened the FPAI–NFPA technical co-operation framework
- Backed the IIT Gandhinagar capability programme for fire engineers
- Expanded the Fire India Exhibition format and exhibitor base
Beyond FPAI
Outside his FPAI role, Anik continues to lead HD Fire's strategy and works closely with industry consortia on fire-protection R&D. He is a frequent speaker at international fire-safety forums.
