Success mantra
Asked about his success mantra, Chawla said quality and economical rates of products are leading them on the path of success. “It is true that we are doing business to earn money.

“Presently, our products are being exported but this is being done indirectly through some export houses. We provide test reports of our products that are supposed to be exported,”he said. “We strongly believe that there is a strong market for our products abroad also. Therefore, we shall be starting direct export of our products in the future,”he said.
