Having started its journey in 1991, Gourav Luminaries (P) Ltd is about to complete a milestone of three decades. How would you describe the journey so far?

We have come a long way from oneroom/one product to five manufacturing units/five product categories. In 1991, it was my father ‘Sri Prem Khanna’ who started Gourav Luminaries. At that time, he himself used to make ‘chowk fatti’ with his two hands. It was his brilliant business acumen, impeccable work ethic, unshakeable determination, and hard work that laid a strong foundation. Today, it is me and my brother who have the shared responsibility to take this organization to its next milestone. Gourav has established itself as a brand that takes immense pride in lighting up middle-class homes in tier 2 cities with its affordable and reliable products. We are focused on being environmentally conscious not only through our energy-efficient products but also by taking conscious steps to cut e-waste and reduce plastic at the organization level. We have also been strengthening our community voice to support women through our social-media initiative – DeshKaGourav. We have got the boxing legend Mary Kom as our brand ambassador to mark this new chapter.

We deeply value all our partners, associates, teammates and, most importantly, the customers who believed in us and continued to support us through all these years. We are grateful for everyone who walked with us to make this 30-year old magnificent journey possible.
