The parent
company M/s. Vamendu was started in 1985 with
very low investment of Rs. 5 Lakhs. Our first
product was PCB (Printed Circuit
Board). We developed Import Substitutes of different
cards for our valued customers like
"Bluestar Limited", "TATA TELECOM
LIMITED", "GUJARAT INSTRUMENTATION
LIMITED", "TORRENT MEDISYSTEMS LIMITED"
etc.
We did
total Import Substitution of Electronic for
"STOCK GRAVIMETRIC FEEDERS"
for Vanakbori Thermal Power Station - GUJARAT
ELECTRICITY BOARD.
As the
promoters are basically farmers and coming from
a village of Gujarat, they planned to use their
experience and talent to be used for the Indian
villages which was even not touched upon by
the Indian Industries. During our frequent visits
of our village, we saw long queues of women
and farmers waiting for their turns to submit
their milk early in the morning and late in
the evening. In spite of their hard work, they
were not paid for their correct quantity, quality
& time. We decided to explore the market
of Indian villages for a faster and accurate
way for Milk Collection.
After
making an extensive market survey for the product
in 1991 - we took it as a challenging task to
develop an "Automatic Milk Collection Station".
We came out with a Prototype Unit and installed
it in the village Milk Producers Co-Operative
Society of Malan - a village of Gujarat.
The overwhelming
response of this product encouraged us for refinement
and upgradation of the product and market it.
We applied for the Manufacturing License of
this product to the Civil Supplies Ministry,
Govt. of India as well as Legal Meterology Department
of State Govt. Of Gujarat, but unfortunately
we were not able to get the license for 4 years
as this was an entirely new product.
We started
selling the AMCS (Automatic Milk Collection
Stations) after getting Third Party Certification
from RRSL (Regional Research & Standardard
Laboratory), Govt. of India. After successful
installation of around 150 AMCS in different
villages of Gujarat - in 1995, a PSU "Rajasthan
Electronics and Instruments Limited (REIL)",
a joint venture of Govt. of India and Govt.
of Rajasthan approached us for its marketing.
Now,
we are having agreements with the REIL for selling
of AMCS throughout the country and abroad as
well. We are also doing lots of R&D work
for their requirements. The successful development
and marketing of AMCS has encouraged us to explore
and go into the innovative and untouched market
segments of INDIA. Almost more than 2000 villages
are using AMCS as of today. This has saved lot
of time for Indian villagers and played a big
role in economic development of villages.
We feel
proud that hon. Ex-President of USA - Mr.
Bill Clinton has seen our machine in
Dhoblai village near Jaipur during his visit
to India in March'2000.
Now we
are working jointly with REIL for the total
solution of different Milk Unions of India,
which includes DOCK-AUTOMIZATION,
Quality Testing, Accounting, Production and
Marketing. Meanwhile, we established a reputation
of being innovative and research-oriented people.
This
brought us different research and development
projects of Central and State Governments and
from Private Sectors.
Recently,
we have developed "SMART PUMP AUTOMATION
KIT " especially to suit and meet
the requirement of Indian petrol pumps. SMART
PUMP AUTOMATION KIT is designed in such a way
that it can be easily fitted to the existing
digital petrol pumps and can also be fitted
to mechanical pumps after some modifications.
Oil dispenser
is also developed to deliver accurate quantity
of oil within the accuracy of 1 ml. Hence this
is an add-on arrangement. This way old existing
pumps can be modified to the state of the art
technology without a large investment and saves
valuable foreign exchange. Because of the large
requirement from different Oil Companies for
Oil Dispensers only - we have developed a separate
unit for Oil Dispensing - "SMART
OIL DISPENSER".
