Think of it and you will realise that some of the greatest inventions and discoveries in history happened because its creator took up one idea, made that idea their whole life, gave it much thought, and dreamt and lived it. More often than not, these ideas were not accepted by authorities and the creator would have to scout for open and willing minds willing to accept and change the old way of doing a job. It’s how entrepreneurs are born. Sarath C Parupalli, MD, Maiwir Engineering, would understand this journey very well.

Way back in 2010, after completing his Masters in Mechanical Engineering from Canada, Parupalli did a brief stint with a start-up medical company in the US. But deep inside, he knew that he wanted to play a key role in India’s infrastructure sector. Importantly, he wanted to add value and change the age-old ways of constructing. However, most exemplary is the way Parupalli has worked towards staying relevant to the customer and, in the process, better his dominance. And a large portion of the credit for that goes to the man many believe – and rightfully so – to be a revolutionist.

SLOW AND STEADY

For the young Parupalli, it was important that he bring in a technology that will drastically cut down construction time and cost. In his words, “By investing for many years in R&D and on-boarding a global design team of experts who are abreast of advancements in engineering, we developed a hybrid composite-steel structure system that would bring in a massive reduction in construction time without compromising on quality.”
