Kirloskar Brothers Ltd.

Our place is in Siddharth Nagar, Kupwad. That’s in the Miraj Taluka of Sangli district. It’s a very industrial and agricultural area, so we are right in the middle of where our machines are actually used. We don't have a fancy storefront. It’s more of a practical base for our operations. Most of the guys here grew up in this part of Maharashtra, so we know the land and the problems people face with their water. We spend our days dealing with pump sets and spare parts. It’s a lot of lifting and checking serial numbers. We don’t go in for big mission statements or fancy goals. Our goal is just to make sure the equipment is there when a farmer or a factory owner needs it. The office can get a bit loud with the noise from the nearby shops, but we don't mind. We have a few chairs for visitors and a lot of shelves full of technical books. We aren't here to give sales pitches. People come to us because they need something fixed or they need a new pump. We give them a straight answer and tell them the price. It’s a simple way of doing things, but it keeps the business going. We’re just a bunch of local guys working for a big name, keeping things grounded here in Kupwad. We try to treat every visitor with a bit of respect and get them sorted out as quickly as we can.
