ISO 9001 · AS 9120 · FSSAI · SMETA 4POur Roots
In the early 1970s, two brothers — Mukund and Dilip Kurhade — started their journey with just ₹300 and an unwavering belief. Their first attempt to manufacture liquid soap in a metal drum failed, but a second try with a plastic drum became their first success.
What started with personal deliveries to washing centres and laundries grew into a ₹100+ Crore enterprise serving 6,000+ industries — built on integrity, hard work, and an unbreakable bond between two brothers.
The Turning Point
Their first attempt — manufacturing liquid soap in a metal drum — ended in failure. But with courage borrowed from a family member, they tried again. This time with a plastic drum. That small change became their first success.
Our Founders
The Men Who Built It All
Mr. Mukund Kurhade
FounderSome journeys are measured in milestones. His is measured in sacrifice.
Our founder, Mukund Kurhade, carried responsibilities long before he had the chance to dream for himself. At a young age, he made choices not for comfort, but for his family — supporting his sisters' marriages, standing behind his brothers' education, and setting aside his own path to move to Nagpur under family responsibilities. Among all his siblings, he was the one who stepped out of his comfort zone, leaving home and familiarity behind to work and support the family. It was not a choice made out of desire, but out of duty.
His life was defined by work — not in words but in action. Till his last breath, he remained committed to his responsibilities. The day he was admitted to the hospital — the day he would never return — he was still working. That was who he was. Work was not a duty he performed; it was a responsibility he lived.
He laid the foundation of what stands today. What we see now is not just an organization — it is the result of a lifetime of discipline, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment.
Mr. Dilip Kurhade
Co-FounderStrength does not always come from intensity — sometimes, it comes from calmness, clarity, and quiet control.
For us, Dilip Kurhade was that presence — the most calm and composed person, who handled every situation with patience and balance. Where there was pressure, he brought stability. Where there was uncertainty, he brought clarity.
He approached challenges not with haste, but with understanding — always thinking, always steady. In fact, no one has ever seen him lose his temper. His calmness was not occasional — it was his nature. No matter how difficult the situation, he remained composed, making decisions with a clear mind and steady judgment.
As an elder brother, he never led with authority or dominance. Instead, he led with trust — believing in people, respecting decisions, and standing firmly beside his brother — creating a bond that strengthened both relationships and the business.
True greatness is not loud — it is consistent, selfless, and deeply rooted in values.
