The Inception

It all began in June 1966 with the passion of two young childhood friends, Mr. K Gopinath and Mr. MS Krishnaswamy. The company was incorporated as a partnership under the trade name ‘Sukruta Agencies'. It is still reminisced by everyone in the company how the legacy of Sukruta began with Mr. Gopinath having to sell his cherished scooter to raise funds.

The Acquisition

This partnership company acquired the erstwhile MC Sundararajan & Co that dealt with pipes, pumps and accessories, which was in the business for a long time.

The Time of Texmo

For the very first time, Sukruta launched Texmo Pumps into the Karnataka market in the capacity as sole distributors for Texmo Industries, Coimbatore - which was already well established as manufacturers of quality pumps.

The Game Changing Tour

Mr. Gopinath ventured out on a month-long state-wide marathon tour. Driving all by himself while carrying the pump in his car, he introduced the pumps to all known contacts in the market and established a network of dealers for the very first time.

The Time of Influence

Sukruta introduced PVC pipes for the very first time for use in irrigation and water transfer.

The Revolutionary PVC SWR

Sukruta introduced PVC pipes and systems for Soil, Waste and Rainwater (SWR) management applications for the very first time as PVC SWR systems. Sukruta was at the forefront in this revolution that replaced the age-old stoneware and cement piping systems with the latest technology of those times.

Digitization of Operations

Sukruta is the first to computerise its operations before it was even a ‘thing’. Starting with accounts and inventory management, we gradually took it further to various other aspects of the business operations and service to enable efficient management.

The Future Leaders

Two young Mechanical Engineers - Mr. Krishna Prasad and Mr. Ram Prasad joined the company. Over a period of 30 years, they took charge and led the company as Managing Partners and Directors.

The Eureka Solution for Low Voltage Situation

One of the major issues facing the agriculture segment was the three phase supply voltage to irrigation pumpsets. 3 phase voltage supply normally had to be 415 Volts, the actual supply would be very less. Under such supply voltage conditions the normal motors wouldn’t work and were burning out due to overloading. Sukruta for the very first time introduced pumpsets to run on low voltage after extensive experimentation, testing with various motor designs and through extensive R&D closely working with the factory R&D team.

Sukruta celebrated its Silver Jubilee by organising a gala event. Sukruta’s principle suppliers, dealers, vendors, business associates, friends and well wishers graced the occasion.
