Carevel Medical Systems Pvt. Ltd.
Becoming a name to contend with in your arena of work is not something anyone and everyone can do. However, such is the case with Carevel Medical Systems Pvt. Ltd. which has managed to etch its name in gold in the field of manufacturing furniture and related equipment, peripherals and accessories for hospitals and medical organisations. This company was established in the year 2000 AD with an initial investment of Rs 20 crore. It turned in with Rs 16.66 crore grossings in 2016-17, as compared with Rs 13.95 crore of the year
before. The higher up decks of this company are a very action powered team of six. This comprises: Sundar Bhalotia (chairman), Chinmoy Mondal (managing director) and four directors - Nirmal Kumar Roy, Rajendra Kumar Bhalotia, Bijay Bhalotia and Ravi Shankar Sharma. Carevel has three manufacturing units – one in Sahibabad (3000 square meters in area and is self-owned); the second also in the same place (1200 square meters) and the third in Greater Noida (800 square meters). This firm, certified with ISO: 9001:2008, ISO 13485:2012, ISO 14001:2004, OHSAS 18001:2007, BIFMA, WHO-GMP, European CE, et al quality stamps, invests a good five to ten percent of its total turnover for research and development purposes. Working with a staff strength of 160 to 180 employees, of which about 20 are devoted towards sales and marketing activities, Carevel logs in an employee retention rate of a whopping 90 per cent. The product portfolio from this manufacturer comprises items like hospital beds, patient transfer trolleys, delivery beds, over bed tables, emergency crash carts, invalid wheelchairs, neonatal care products and other related general equipment. Also, the client roll call it has is something which all its competitors envy. This includes big names like AIIMS ( New Delhi), KGMC (Lucknow), Medanta (Delhi), Apollo (Delhi), Arogyam Medical College, Bone and Joint Hospital (Bihar), Charak Healthcare and Rural Development (Lucknow), Chintpurni Medical College (Chandigarh), Fortis Escorts Heart Institute (Jabalpur), Fortis Escorts Heart Institute (Delhi), Ispat Hospital (Ranchi), and Max hospital (Delhi). In fact, all the ware from Carevel is directed towards a number of government hospitals, private corporate hospitals, medical centers as well as healthcare related facilities like clinics and specialist institutes. What is really a matter of pride for this corporate entity is that it manages to retain cent per cent of its clients. This is due to quality as well as 100 per cent timely delivery that it maintains. Also, the other factors which govern all operations and tasks here are “following fair business practices, and believing in transparency and ethics.” The real ethos here is to provide all customers with economical, cost effective, high quality products and services in the shortest possible time schedule. Carevel also exports 25 to 30 per cent of its produce via direct as well as indirect channels and these are routed mostly towards African countries. This company has about 20 distributors. Its main USPs are its number of certifications, the fact that pure material is used as the input for its entire line up and that the paint used is medicated. However, the top management here believes that it is team work which has played the most important role in getting the company to its present status. The strong message which emanates from the haloed quarters of Carevel is that “one should never give up and always chase your dreams and try to achieve them.” So also, the undying governing principle at Carevel is ‘care with innovations’ and a sense of urgency in all work. The three fundamental pillars which function as the foundation of this company are its culture, quality and commitments. Carevel has received a number of awards for all the good work it has done. Some of these are: CIMS excellence award for ‘best upcoming health care solution provider – products and services in 2015; GE of India award in 2015; faster growing Indian company excellence award by IEDRA in 2016; and the business excellence award for the ‘innovative design in health care solutions’ by cabinet minister Dr Harsh Vardhan (Ministry of Science and Technology) in 2015. This company has a long list of activities on its priority agenda. The most important of these is that it is hoping to cross the coveted Rs 100 crore turnover mark by the year 2020. Also, exports to European countries is something which is high up in its blueprint for the future. The real core base of Carevel is a strong and diehard commitment towards preserving our natural resources. The company keeps a strict vigil on all its activities which are geared towards minimising negative impact on our environment. Also, to lead its chosen industry by example is the game plan that it follows very sincerely. The value system here is made of principles like always keeping the customer first, maintaining integrity, innovation, accountability, performance, exceeding expectations, safety and care. When such is the fine fabric of all work at a given manufacturing corporate entity, continued and all round success is sure to come its way at all times.
