Govind Kant, 47, was the Australian director for Trina Solar, a China-based energy company.
In a statement released online, the company said Mr Kant had returned to India in April for personal reasons.
He contracted the virus and died on May 16.
Praising Mr Kant as a “beloved colleague”, the company expressed its sorrow in the statement.
“Our deepest condolences go to his wife, two daughters and other family members,” the statement read.
“This is a significant loss to Trina Solar and mere words cannot express the heartfelt sorrow we all feel upon Govind’s passing and we will provide necessary assistance to his family in this mourning period and we pray his soul may rest in peace.”
Nine.com.au has contact the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for comment.
A Sydney woman who identified herself as the man’s daughter said both of her parents contracted COVID-19 in India and claimed the Australian High Commission in Delhi “did nothing more than call my mother once in a while”.
