In a detailed interview, Gangadhar Hire-math shared his journey and discussed various current industry trends that A G Tech Industries is adopting.
Could you describe your professional journey and experiences? What drives you in your daily activities?
I completed my Bachelor of Engineering, and upon graduation, I joined a company where I gained valuable experience over three and a half years. This foundational period in my career provided me with critical insights and skills which I later used to establish my own business. In 2017, I founded A G Tech Industries with the vision to innovate in the industrial sector. We started modestly with just 10 employees, but through dedication and strategic planning, we have expanded significantly.
Today, we boast a workforce of 102 dedicated professionals and achieve an annual turnover of approximately 10 crores across the Indian market. The initial motivation for this venture stemmed from recognizing significant market oppor-tunities during my early client interac-tions and a passion for leveraging cutting-edge techno- logies, particularly in machine learning, to enhance our offerings
and efficiency. These driving factors have continued to inspire our growth and success in the industry.

Our manufacturing operations focus on producing industrial valves that meet rigorous national and international standards, ensuring top-notch quality and reliability. These valves serve a variety of sectors, including steel, fertilizer, powder, paper, FMCG, cement plants, pharmaceutical industries, and chemical industries, where precise control and efficient operation are paramount. Committed to upholding industry regulations, we meticulously adhere to NPS guidelines to guarantee the safety and effectiveness of our products in diverse industrial settings.
