Haryana-based Everest Blowers Pvt. Ltd. manufactures a gamut of industrial blowers for diverse applications.

In an interview with Subhajit Roy, Amit Kapur highlights the company’s commitments toward indigenisation.
Boost to manufacturing sector‘Make in India’ is a new major National program designed to facilitate investment, foster innovation, enhance skill development, protect intellectual property, and build best-in-class manufacturing infrastructure. Through this program Indian and foreign companies are invited to make everything from automobiles to agro-value-addition, paper to plastics and satellites to submarines in India and sell anywhere.
The major objective behind this initiative is to focus on 25 sectors of economy for job creation and skill enhancement. Some of these sectors are automobiles, chemicals, it, textiles, pharmaceuticals, leather, aviation, tourism and hospitality, wellness, railways, auto components, manufacturing, ports, mining, renewable energy, biotechnology and electronics. The initiative hopes to increase GDP growth and tax revenue. The initiative also aims at high quality standards and minimising the impact on the environment. The initiative hopes to attract technological and capital investment in India.
The Indian manufacturing sector welcomed the ‘Make in India’ initiative and is very positive about the same. “This initiative shall bring in the required change and shall act as a big booster for the manufacturing sector,” says Amit Kapur, Director, Everest Group.
Prerequisite “Make in India” can be a great success since there are still a lot of opportunities to be tapped in the Indian manufacturing sector, believes Mr Kapur. He says, “We sincerely need to do is to replace the ‘imitation’ practice with ‘innovation’ practice. A right ecosystem shall fuel the spirit of innovation and it shall be great to see domestic companies leading the innovation and thereby making India an innovation champion.”
