Suresh Gandhi, Founder King International
Awill of steel. This, as is so very obvious, is something concrete to build a foundation on. King International, a company offering an entire range of stainless steel utensils, has just this and more. Says Mr. Suresh Gandhi, founder, King International, “we teed off in 2010, but began our stainless steel odyssey, technically speaking, in 1976 under the brand name “Tulsi”. The product spectrum includes items of barware, copperware, and hotel-ware.
Mr. Nikhil Gandhi, another stellar head honcho of this steel enterprise believes that “we are in the club of the first five players in our work arena” is the core strength here. Bread and fruits baskets, ashtrays, coasters, coffee mugs, spices racks, pet food and drink bowls, colanders, promotional gift items, tableware, tiffins, copperware articles, glasses, mixing utilities, dustbins, et al are some of the highlight rollons from King International.
King International has the required in-house machinery to effectively cater to the pulsating stainless steel utensils’ demand of the domestic market. The manufacturing units under the aegis of this firm are capable of churning out one lakh pieces of stainless steel ware. This steel workhorse has a very thorough R&D-hinged activity for bringing forth new designs of stainless steel products within a minimum lead time period. King International, with two production amenities under its consortium of operations, has registered a growth rate of 33% every year since the past three years.
Managing with a team of 26-30 employed personnel is the lock, stock, and barrel methodology of this company. Of these, 90% of the rostered individuals have been retained since times of yore. Mr. Gandhi, a very efficient manufacturer with a sound background and blessed with a hand right on the pulse of the market conditions, proffers the view that thinking out-ofthe-box and with an innovative
mind works best. Hard-work and staying technologically updated is the ideal approach to creating a work environment that is productive. Contributing several lakhs towards the coffers of an N.G.O. as part and parcel of its CSR work initiatives is the mainstay of the social work narratives of this company. Say the Gandhis with a fortuitous smile on their individual and collective faces, “we have hit the jackpot in our work routine via the use of ethics that have helped us egg on positively in our market segment”. Having said that, it is advisable to mention that this company is wired towards a core philosophy of working with a very healthy team spirit and pursuing an attitude of sheer positivity in its stride. Such democratic pillars of productivity that fire up the engines here has made this company what it is as on date.
