Kurl-on
The story of Kurl-on is a masterclass in the spirit of Indian entrepreneurship. Ramesh Pai identified the potential for using coconut byproducts in the mattress business, providing a better sleep experience. His knowledge of India's natural produce and the skill required to utilize the same is what makes Kurl-on "The Mattress of India" today. At present, the company has expanded and now has a network of over 10,000 dealers, 72 branch and stock points, and 9 manufacturing facilities dotted across major Indian states. By keeping up with state-of-the-art technology, Kurl-on continues to serve the Indian populace by converting rest into a luxury experience.
Haldiram's Nagpur
Haldiram's brand name is the legacy of a modest shop in Bikaner founded by Ganga Bishan Agarwal, fondly known as Haldiram Ji. Today, eight decades later, it has expanded its horizons, scaled up, and even established markets overseas - all while staying true to the spirit of serving the most authentic taste of India. The Indian multinational sweets, snacks, and restaurant company is truly an integral part of every Indian household. Having begun with the humble USP of bhujia, Haldiram's today boasts of over four hundred products and multiple retail chain stores. The company is a testament to the Indian entrepreneurial fervour, and serves as a great source of enterprising inspiration for the business-minded youth of the country to this day.
Blue Star
Blue Star is undoubtedly one of the best-known names in India, as it is the leading air conditioning and commercial refrigeration company in the country. With 7500 stores and 1172 service associates lending a hand to customers in over 900 cities, the company has definitely carved a niche spot for itself in the market. Blue Star is the expert organisation when it comes to the cooling requirements of corporate, residential, as well as commercial customers, and has also ventured into the water purifier market for residential purposes. Products aside, the company's philanthropic values also align with that of DPIFF, which is best exemplified by the Blue Star Foundation which was set up in 1982 in order to provide aid in the domains of education, health, and poverty.
