As India commemorates 75 years of Independence with a grand celebration of ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’, APAR Industries Ltd is proud to be a significant contributor and building block to the power sector of India, the company said in a release.
From the very first day of inception, the founder and the company have firmly stood by the vision of an Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) and making India as an export powerhouse.
Humble beginnings
Commenting on the occasion Chaitanya N Desai, Managing Director of APAR Industries said, “Since 1958 APAR has been relentlessly contributing to the power sector by manufacturing and supplying quality conductors to enhance transmission and distribution of electricity in India. APAR started with humble beginnings 11 years after independence by Shri Dharmsinh Dadubhai Desai a visionary entrepreneur, freedom fighter, and servant of the nation. He envisioned significant growth in the power sector for the betterment of the nation and thus embarked on the journey to build APAR Industries.”
Dharmsinh’s belief of contributing to the country has been deep-rooted and was passed on to the second generation to Dr. Narendra Desai who joined APAR in 1964. He ventured into the manufacturing of transformer oil business which is one of the most critical components in a power generation, transmission and distribution system by supporting a transformer function at an optimum condition. He served the country and APAR until his last breath, the release noted.
Third generation
Today with the reins of the company in the hands of the third generation, they have further diversified and expanded the business, serving different verticals which include speciality cables, lubricants, speciality automotive and polymers. With the new entrance of the 4th generation, the millennials are taking the company to international markets with the support of digital and strategic initiatives.
Marked by significant milestones and reforms throughout the journey of 64 years, the company has brought India numerous recognitions on a global platform in each and every vertical the company is present in.
