Who we are
After establishing Pranita in 1998, Srini and Bhanu grew it with a focus and dedication that earned them an enviable reputation with Airbus and its suppliers. What was a simple machine shop in 2001 grew to a facility with INR 3 crore annual turnover (USD 0.5 million) by 2012. It was the year that Pranita entered into a joint venture with Gardner, a UK group which was one of the biggest suppliers to Airbus. “Ours was the first joint venture in India of that size,” says Srini.
Over the next four and a half years, the founders of Pranita would multiply the turnover 22 times before finally selling their stakes to Gardner and exiting Pranita in 2016. “Customers are looking for the right people, speaking the right language, with the right attitude,” says Srini adding that he and his partner understand customers’ needs and have always delivered on their promises.
“Our aim is to supply and support the world’s leading aircraft OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) like Airbus, Boeing, Rolls Royce and Safran and their first tier suppliers,” says Srini.
