A Leader in India’s Electrical Industry
Vijay Karia is a well-known figure in India’s power and electrical infrastructure space. As Chairman and Managing Director of the Ravin Group, he leads a company with a strong legacy spanning over 70 years. Under his leadership, Ravin has become a benchmark in quality and innovation in cable and power solutions.
Early Experiences That Shaped His Vision
Karia grew up in a time when access to basic products and services in India was limited. These early challenges influenced his mindset—he focused on anticipating market needs and building future-ready solutions. This foresight has been a guiding principle throughout his career.
Driving Innovation Through Fire-Survival Cables
A standout area of focus for Karia has been the development of fire-survival cables—specially designed to function even during severe fires. These are crucial for safety in modern infrastructure, and Ravin Group has invested heavily in meeting and exceeding international safety standards.
Embracing “Make in India” with Global Quality
Karia is a firm believer in India’s manufacturing potential. He supports the "Make in India" initiative not just as a patriotic move, but as a way to build globally competitive products. Ravin’s cables are manufactured with international-grade technology and serve both Indian and overseas projects.
Global Expansion and UAE Success
Taking the company beyond India, Karia spearheaded Ravin’s entry into the UAE market. The company became one of the few Indian manufacturers to collaborate with a foreign government, a testament to its engineering capability and global vision.
Advocating for Infrastructure and Energy Reform
Outside of business, Vijay Karia is an active voice in policy discussions around infrastructure and power. He has highlighted how high electricity tariffs and unreliable supply in states like Maharashtra impact business competitiveness. His focus is on building a stable, efficient power environment that fuels growth.
Bridging the Industry-Skills Gap
Karia also draws attention to the mismatch between education and employability. He believes that many industries face talent shortages not due to lack of jobs, but due to a lack of job-ready skills. He calls for better synergy between academia, industry, and government programs to solve this problem.
Building for a Better Industrial Future
Vijay Karia’s work is not just about business success. His leadership is rooted in a larger vision—to build strong, reliable infrastructure and create opportunities for Indian manufacturing to shine globally. Through consistent innovation, policy advocacy, and international outreach, he remains a key contributor to India's development story.
