When AUMUND India began trading 20 years ago in Chennai, it was a small sales organisation of just six people. Since then it has grown and developed to such an extent that it now employs 50 staff and includes engineering, software development, manufacturing, and exports of engineering services and components among its activities.

A D Prasad Rao and Raju Gupta were the two key personnel who started the operation. At the time both had business backgrounds in the cement industry, Prasad Rao more in marketing and Raju Gupta in project management and engineering. Together they operated as joint managing directors until 2012, when Prasad Rao retired from executive duties, but the business has continued to rely on his experience since then as a board member. Raju Gupta, meanwhile, has continued to operate as sole managing director. 

 

Within the global AUMUND Group, AUMUND India has become a leading technical centre, second only to AUMUND Fördertechnik in Germany. It is expected that the Indian subsidiary will play a bigger role in future in supporting the group, especially in engineering and project management.
