Finding the need to infuse creativity and design into high-strength engineering solutions is what spurred Viraj Kalyani to launch his entrepreneurial venture- Kalyani Studio. Viraj Kalyani, the executive director of Kalyani Forge (KFL), and nephew to Baba Kalyani, CMD of Bharat Forge has a keen understanding of manufacturing and the forging business.
Considering himself a disrupter in the engineering solutions space, Viraj is keen on championing the Government of India’s mission of ‘Make in India’ with his pioneering vision of ‘Design in India’ through Kalyani Studio.
Kalyani Studio believes in the latent power of the physical strength of products which can be unlocked through better design and engineering to improve performance and cost. High strength products are present everywhere and require a high level of performance.
To a large extent, these are under-the- hood products and applications that withstand tremendously challenging physical conditions like forces, motion, temperature and time. Kalyani Studio is therefore building a new ecosystem and category of high-strengthengineering and design to cater to OEMs across all industries like railway, aerospace, automotive, agro-tech, construction equipment.
The driven, new age leader is clear that the next wave of growth has to come from design which in his opinion is the next logical progression for the sector.
Viraj Kalyani, founder and chairman, Kalyani Studio, said: “My purpose of setting up Kalyani Studio is to create high-tech jobs in India and catalyze clients to design high performance products as well as push the boundaries of high performance. We want to help evolve the industry to having specialized players and build global recognition for India’s capabilities in high-end engineering and design.
"The world came to India for forging and we continue to prove them right, the worldwill soon come to India for high-strength engineering solutions.”
Mastering the art of building a company from scratch and scaling it in a sustainable fashion came but naturally to the young entrepreneur who has had engineering, design thinking and manufacturing in his blood and wants to bring new vigour to the engineering, research & development industry.
