ABOUT THE STARTUP

This Bengaluru-based pipe and fitting manufacturing company is a pioneer in designing, developing and manufacturing uPVC riser/drop/column pipes. These products have been successfully used to erect submers-ible borehole pumps up to a depth of 1000 feet. More than 1,000,000 successful installations have taken place across the globe.

BUSINESS CHALLENGES

The company is growing exponentially and has a manu-facturing capacity of over 70,000 MT per annum.
