As Ravin Group marks its 75th anniversary – a journey that now coincides with India's transformative Amrit Kaal era – how do your respected father's founding values align with the nation's aspirations? With the third generation now actively shaping the company's future, how do you envision Ravin Group contributing to India's next chapter of growth and infrastructure excellence?

Response:

As we mark 75 years of Ravin Group, I reflect on the vision of my father, Late Shri Pramod Karia, who founded this company not just as a business, but as a mission to support India's development in its earliest days of independence. He founded this company with the core values of integrity, perseverance, and a deep commitment to nation-building values that resonate strongly with the spirit of India's Amrit Kaal.

His vision was never just about creating a successful enterprise, but about enabling India's industrial and infrastructure progress through innovation and quality. These founding ideals continue to guide us today.

With the third generation now actively involved, we see our role evolving from being just a manufacturer to becoming a solutions partner in India's growth story. Our focus is on sustainable infrastructure, digital integration, and technological advancement in energy systems areas critical to India's next chapter. We are also aligning ourselves with national missions such as Make in India, Digital India, Viksit Bharat, and the transition to green energy.

As we look ahead, our aim is to not just keep pace with India's aspirations, but to actively power them.

Ravin Group has contributed to India's infrastructure marvels, and has recently announced a C500 crore investment to expand its cable manufacturing capacity, signalling strong confidence in India's infrastructure growth. What opportunities do you foresee in this sector, and how will this expansion align with the Group's broader vision for the future?

Response:

India's infrastructure is undergoing a generational transformation be it in clean energy, defense modernization, or urban mobility. At Ravin, we see these developments as an extension of our lifelong mission to support nation-building and at the same time reach out to make an indelible print in Global markets.

Our plans for C500 crore investment to expand cable manufacturing capacity is not just a business decision it's a reaffirmation of our belief in India's future. This capacity will support high-growth sectors like EV infrastructure, solar and wind energy, metro, rail, and digital data networks.

This vision aligns with our legacy of enabling landmark projects from metro lines and industrial corridors to energy grids across the country. Our contribution to the recently inaugurated projects like the Udhampur- Baramulla-Srinagar Rail Link, the Mumbai Underground Line 3, The Reliance Jio World Centre at BKC, the New Energies Complex at Jamnagar etc. boldly reflect this. And at the same time, it also speaks of our futuristic strategy: innovation, sustainable manufacturing, and technologically advanced solutions. We are also focusing on R&D, automation, and green manufacturing practices to future-proof our operations.

This is not just growth for us - it's growth with global reach & purpose, rooted in nation building.

Ravin Group has successfully expanded into multiple countries. How do you ensure the company's ethos remains consistent while embracing diverse cultures and business practices abroad?

Response:

As Ravin Group has grown beyond India's borders, our global journey has been guided by a simple yet powerful principle: stay rooted, while reaching out to markets which are quality conscious.

Our ethos built on trust, quality, and long-term partnerships remains non-negotiable, whether we are working in India, the Middle East, Africa, or Europe. What changes is how we adapt those values to resonate with local cultures, regulations, and customer expectations.

We invest time in understanding each market deeply, respecting local business norms, and building culturally aligned teams. At the same time, we ensure our global operations follow the same ethical standards, technical excellence, and customer-first approach that define us.

This balance of consistency in principles and flexibility in execution - is what allows Ravin to build meaningful, sustainable relationships across borders. This approach has enabled us to be seen not just as an Indian exporter, but as a trusted global partner. Our global presence is an extension of our Indian identity and it reflects the confidence the world places in Indian engineering and innovation.

Ravin Group strong commitment to environmental stewardship. How do such collaborations enhance your sustainability mission, and how is this ethos integrated into the planning of your large-scale infrastructure projects?

Response:

Sustainability is not a checkbox - it's a core value that must be integrated into every aspect of how we operate and grow.

We have always been actively extending our impact beyond the factory floor and into the communities and ecosystems we serve. Whether it's through awareness campaigns, environmental clean-ups, electrification of rural India through our smart solar powered lights and tracking systems, or supporting climate action, these collaborations strengthen our resolve to be a force for good.

From our involvement in renewable energy corridors to advanced cable systems for EV and solar projects, we ensure that each project carries a lower environmental footprint. We are embracing green manufacturing practices and circular economy principles not because they are trending, but because they are essential for the kind of legacy we want to leave behind.

As a company that helped lay the groundwork for India's infrastructure in its formative years, we now see it as our responsibility to build that future responsibly. Ultimately, our goal is to ensure that every step of our expansion contributes not just to progress, but to responsible progress in harmony with the environment and aligned with India's larger sustainability goals.

Beyond infrastructure, Ravin Group actively supports education, healthcare, and social welfare initiatives. What inspires this commitment, and how do you measure the impact of these efforts?

Response:

Our commitment to education, healthcare, and social welfare stems from a deeply held belief passed down from our founder - that business exists not just to create value, but to add meaning to society and we have carried this philosophy forward with us with deep conviction.

We are inspired by the communities that have supported us through generations. Giving back is not a choice; it's a responsibility. Whether it's supporting underprivileged children's education, enabling access to quality healthcare, or contributing to disaster relief, we see these efforts as integral to our purpose. For a company that has grown alongside the nation, giving back isn't a side project - it is central to who we are.

To ensure our initiatives create real, lasting change, we partner with credible organizations and track outcomes carefully be it improved school attendance, measurable health indicators, or skill development leading to employment. More than metrics, though, we measure impact by lives touched and hope restored.

In the end, the greatest return on investment is seeing communities thrive and knowing that we played even a small part in their journey forward.

Looking ahead, what emerging trends in infrastructure excite you the most? How is Ravin Group innovating to meet the needs of tomorrow's cities and economies?

Response:

What excites me today is how we are at the cusp of a new era which is evolving the definition of infrastructure. It's no longer just about building roads, bridges, or powerlines it's about smart, digital, and resilient ecosystems. These developments are redefining how people live, connect, and consume electricity, as electricity is the new energy.

At Ravin Group, we are actively innovating to meet these future needs. From developing advanced cables for solar, wind, and EV infrastructure to investing in IoT-enabled solutions for predictive maintenance, and green manufacturing practices, we are reimagining and reengineering what infrastructure can look like.

While we are proud to be part of transformative infrastructure projects, we state that building infrastructure is not easy. Local rules, regulations, specifications, working in tight timelines and in challenging circumstances are something we are now primed to. We are also working closely with city planners, EPC contractors, and technology partners to co-create solutions that are scalable, efficient, and future-proof. Our focus is not just to keep up with change but to help lead it.

As India and the world build the cities and energy systems of tomorrow, Ravin aims to be a trusted enabler of that progress with innovation at the core and sustainability as our compass.

As a leader steering a 75-year legacy while embracing modernization, what key lessons would you share with the next generation of entrepreneurs and infrastructure pioneers?

Response:

Leading a legacy brand like Ravin Group through the lens of modernization has taught me that tradition and innovation are not opposing forces they are complementary strengths. It's about carrying forward the spirit of those who came before you, while preparing for what lies ahead. The VUCA has changed dramatically to from Volatile to Violent, Uncertain to Ugly, Complex to Competitive and Ambiguous to Arbitrary.

To the next generation of entrepreneurs and infrastructure pioneers, I would share three key lessons:

First, hold your values close. In a world full of change, integrity and trust remain timeless advantages they earn you trust, which is the most valuable currency in business.

Second, change fearlessly but thoughtfully. Embrace innovation but don't chase it blindly. Innovation is essential, but it must be purposeful. Let every new idea solve a real world problem or improve a life.

Third, success is never built alone. Surround yourself with good people, listen more than you speak, and build organizations where collaboration, humility, and empathy are celebrated.

Ultimately, building something that lasts like we've strived to do over 75 years is not just about scale or speed. It's about building with intention, and leaving a legacy that inspires others to do the same. Our tag line is “Jod Zindagi ke Taar - Tu Kar Kamaal”.
