Godrej Lawkim Motors Ceo Vijay Crishna Didn’t Need Decades of Engineering Experience to Successfully Transform the Once Sinking Business. All He Needed Was a Fresh Set of Eyes and an Innovative Plan to Change the Company From the Inside Out.
Everyone knows the phrase, ‘It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.’ For Godrej Lawkim Motors CEO Vijay Crishna, this couldn’t be truer. “I was introduced to the Godrej family in the 1970s when I first met my wife. In 1977, her father asked if I was interested in running a sinking motor manufacturing business he’d just acquired – despite the fact that I didn’t know a thing about engineering,” Vijay admits. “I cautiously accepted, and it took us around five hard years to get the company back up and running with a new team and a new vision.”
Founded in 1897, Godrej is a US$4.5 billion corporation committed to building a strong and independent India. Catering to more than 600 million customers each day, Godrej continues to offer contemporary, technologically advanced and customised products and solutions that are built on a strong foundation – decades of deep customer insight and understanding.
Established in 1961, Lawkim pioneered the manufacturing of hermetic compressor motors in India. Today a part of the Godrej Group, it manufactures specialised hermetic compressor motors, single-phase motors, custom-built three-phase motors, components and parts. These are supplied to industry segments ranging from air conditioning and refrigeration, to domestic appliances, energy and motion handling. »
