Stellar – Setting High Standards In Bus Seating

Think bus seats, think Stellar Seats & Products (Stellar).

Stellar, an eight-month-old startup, is poised to unveil its modular and lightweight range of bus seats and aims to take on both domestic and international markets. This enthusiastic and lean company has many ideas up its sleeve and currently is in the process of setting up multiple efficiencies in its bid to expand its horizons.

Says Rengarajan Srinivasan, Director: “Stellar is looking at a multi-fold growth and we are already well-prepared. We are strategically located in Bangalore and are now focusing on modular design, light-weighting, new materials and in the near future we will be ready to make seats that we can assemble at the customer’s end.”

Pradeep Ambavaram, Director, adds: “Our philosophy is for all Stellar products to be nut and bolted ones. Though our flagship product will be bus seats, we will be also looking at other adjacencies, which can be built into profitable standalone verticals.”

A Stellar promise

Inspired by the ‘Make in India’ concept, Stellar is a start-up which means that it is a small company to begin with ‘where strings are held loosely’. Stellar’s advantage is its open-mindedness and its capability to execute projects fast. Says Ambavaram: “We are constantly working towards reducing the weight per se in all our engineered products. We are also lessening the number of components needed. Our latest new lightweight seat is under development. The prototype is ready and the product line will be launched in the beginning of 2020.” With the new product line, Stellar will be ready for markets across the country and the world, in line with its ‘Make in India, for India and the world’ strategy.
