A Stellar Persona Who Changed the Game

Mr. Ashis embarked on his entrepreneurial journey in 1992. With tight budget capital, he established the company.

The commitment to supply lifts and elevators at a reasonable and bearable price for society stands tall and high. Recalling the times when common people were stressed due to ridiculous fees, Mr. Ashis asserts, “At that time, due to the bad economic condition of India and people neglecting to purchase properties, culminated in the real estate business performing inadequately and simultaneously, the lift industry being affected badly. We just realized it was time for us to step in and provide for the people in need.”

Mr. Ashis expects to complete the project by 2023.

The factory will be fully equipped to handle all component production an elevator requires and that too on large scale to reduce production cost and improve quality. The move is geared towards reducing the pricing even further and put an end to the monopoly of giants in the region.

Expanding Footprint

“It gets way better since Powercab is also coming up with a first-of-its-kind showroom in South Kolkata, which will manifest elevators and their different parts, wherein buyers can directly pay a visit to choose their products to post a hands-on experience – just like in a car or bike showroom. We take pride in our R&D which has pipelined several ground-breaking innovations projected towards our vision 2021,” states Mr. Ashis.
