My Story
Born into a family shaping steel since 1974, I inherited more than a business; I inherited a responsibility. My mission is to honor a five-decade legacy while steering it into the future with a fresh, modern vision.
As the Managing Director of Dhand Steels, I lead one of Ludhiana’s most respected steel manufacturing firms. What sets us apart is not just our understanding of metallurgy, but our ability to meet the global market's demand for discipline, documentation, and long-term reliability.
My goal is clear: to transform a domestic legacy into an export-ready, future-proof brand. Beyond business, I believe in building relationships founded on confidence and transparency. My vision is to place Indian precision steel on the global map, not as a cheap alternative, but as a benchmark of quality.
