Runaya is a very poetic name. What does it mean and why this name?

Thank You. Runaya includes the initials of all the members of our family including my mother Ruchira, father Navin, brother Annanya, and mine Naivedya. Coincidentally according to Kabalarian Philosophy the name of Runaya also brings opportunities for success in business and financial accumulation.

What was the vision behind starting Runaya? Do you think you have been able to do justice to that vision in the last three years since its inception?

Runaya was founded in 2017 with the vision to deploy cutting edge technology in the manufacturing space in India. This, coupled with our passion to conserve the environment and create sustainable solutions, made us realise the importance of technology and innovation in the modern-day resources and manufacturing space.

The process used for identification of the businesses was broad criteria around the space in which we wanted to operate (stay in manufacturing) and then we used filters like global alliances and partnerships with the best partners available, broad investment criteria, B-2-B supply chain, value-added manufacturing instead of commodity products, and operations that have the highest standards of sustainability and the environment.
