Technology For Kitchens

You introduced Electric Hoods in India in 1995 and have nurtured the industry since then. Are you satisfied with the evolution of the industry in the country? 

I introduced the electric hoods with the Italian technology in India in the mid-1990s. At that time, India was rapidly turning towards globalisation and new concepts and western way of lifestyle was being accepted at large. Since then, the kitchen hood industry has evolved tremendously and has witnessed changes in product typology and designs. Current products have a right blend of design and technology keeping in mind the comfort in using. From Silent Chimneys to hassle free cleaning the technology has grown in every aspect. I am personally quite satisfied with the growth in the industry and except this category to become a commodity in the coming few years.

Elica SpA has been recognised and has got awards for the best workplace in Europe.

As an entrepreneur, what were the key challenges faced by you and how did you overcome the same? 

Well as such there are no challenges that we are facing as the market is wide open and very accommodating. We focus on customer satisfaction as our key goal. We offer superior technology and design at an affordable price scale.

How’s been the business for Elica PB India in the ongoing fiscal?
