His career is defined by his long leadership in two essential industrial sectors: sugar/ethanol production and engineering services (industrial steam turbines).

His strategic focus on industrial steam turbines proved highly successful: Triveni Turbine Ltd. is the second largest global manufacturer of industrial steam turbines under 100 MW, holding over a 20 percent market share. Sawhney's leadership emphasized continuous innovation and quality, earning him the 'Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur' from President Chirac of France and being made an 'Honorary Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order (LVO)' by H.M. Queen Elizabeth II. His structural contribution is to India's energy transition (bio-fuels) and its global industrial competitiveness.

He played a pivotal role in the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) during the economic liberalization era, providing a key structural contribution to India's economic policy. His personal philanthropy supports education (former Chairman of The Doon School) and is reflected in his unique passion as the former President of the All India Chess Federation.
