Home / About us
Behind every transformer is a team that cares.
Since 1975 we have made the equipment you never think about, until the lights have to stay on. That is exactly why we sweat the details.
When the lights stay on, nobody notices. That is how we know we have done our job.
Pragati began in 1975 as a private limited company with one aim: to make reliable solutions for electrical power distribution. We grew into medium, low and high voltage, and into testing, because our customers kept asking for more and we did not want to let them down.
Behind every drawing, every winding and every test report is a person who knows that a family, a factory or a hospital depends on what we make. We take that personally.
