Mr. C S Prakash started “Pushpak Industrial Services” from almost zero investment and today “Pushpak” is approximate INR 10 crores company. He, a diploma holder in mechanical engineering who comes from a very moderate family background, claims “Being Ethical and Constant in nature” is the success mantra behind Pushpak. Pushpak Industrial Services, incorporated as Pushpak Products India Pvt. Ltd, is now having three different lines of businesses – Manufacturing of Industrial & Office Furniture, Ground & Material Handling Equipments and Electrochemical Process on Spacecraft components (Anodizing). It has customer base from defense sector to MNC like ISRO, HAL, NAL, BEL, Toyota, Bosch, etc.
Like others Mr. Prakash too started doing Apprenticeship Training with Hindustan Aeronautic Limited (HAL) in Bangalore for a stipend of INR 500. But there was big difference among others and him during apprenticeship. He was doing his apprenticeship so seriously that he started working continuously for 2 shifts (from 6am to 11pm) so that he would be able to learn more than others. After completion of his apprenticeship, realizing his talent his well wishers in HAL recommended him to start his own business. At that time, due to poor financial condition, he did not even have money to open a bank account.
