India’s environmental testing market has traditionally been inclined towards import from the overseas from leading manufacturing companies of America, Europe or Asia. To challenge this status-quo and meet the increasing demand of quality products, co-founders of Envisys Technologies Pvt Ltd Dr. Anil Kumar Kottani and MahanteshGowda Patel stepped up by manufacturing high quality Made-in-India products on par with any leading imported product/machinery at competitive prices. The Industry Outlook magazine engaged in a conversation with both the founders to know more.
Kindly take us through the foundation story of Envisys and the core philosophy behind the operations of the company.
M.G Patel: Envisys Technologies was co-founded in 2014 by the trio viz., Mahantesh Gowda Patel (Myself), Dr. Anil Kumar Kottani and Mr. Basavaraju K.M with an objective to offer high quality products at competitive prices with ingenious design and strategy. These Environmental Test Chambers are designed and manufactured by Envisys for simulating extreme conditions of environments like temperature, humidity, salt fog, rain, dust, altitude etc., to suffice environmental test requirements of spectrum of industries viz., electronics, automotive, defence, aerospace etc., for performing environmental tests on components or products manufactured by these industries to qualify the products against environmental stresses encountered by the products during their life-cycle before they are actually released into the market.
After understanding the surge in the demand for environmental test chambers in the Indian market especially after the entry of multinational companies into India from automotive, electronics, defence and aerospace sectors and subsequent advent of many research and development centres in the fields of automotive, electronics, defence and aerospace sectors, the co-founders Dr. Anil Kumar Kottani and I realised the need for a reliable local supplier in the environmental testing market of India to meet the demand in the market especially the one with an ability to customize the requirements of these industries.
How is Envisys looking at the growth of the industry in India and in what ways is the company able to cater to the increasing demand?
Dr. Anil Kumar Kottani: The environmental test chambers market in India till date has been witnessing the highest share for imported environmental test chambers in this market segment despite the advent of competent Indian companies like Envisys with design and manufacturing capability to supply import-substitute products complemented with customized value solutions, price competitiveness, local presence and round-the-clock after sales service to customers. However, the things are significantly changing in the Indian market after the revolutionary initiatives by the Govt of India to promote make-in India products. The buyer companies are exploring the feasibility of competent local suppliers to curtail the heavy costs of importing these products.
Hence, the need for a competent local supplier in India has triggered the phenomenal growth of Envisys in terms of its market acquisition at the CAGR growth rate of more than 30% since its inception. Increasing market demand complimented with Govt support initiatives like Make-in- India, Vocal for Local, Atmanirbhar Bharat and various other support schemes in-force especially for MSME sector have been encouraging for Envisys for achieving the status of one of the leading companies in India supplying the Environmental Test Chambers for some of the most critical applications in the industry sufficing the stringent requirements of environmental testing.
How does Envisys stand apart in the market and what are the reasons for the success of the company?
M.G Patel: Envisys believes in the fact that, the 4 Ps of its success are product, price, promotion and people. The last “P” i.e., PEOPLE of Envisys are behind every mile stone of success the company has achieved so far. It’s not the size of the people that matters, it’s their potential that they possess makes the real difference. Currently Envisys has more than fifty members in its winning team who are constantly striving towards the productivity and committed to serve their best to satisfy their customers. The company believes in an ownership culture where each employee treats his or her colleagues as partners whose mutual success or failure depends on how they work in teams to achieve the desired objectives of the company.
