During their graduation days, the panel of these five leaders decided to leap into the challenging and competitive business ecosystem without having many resources in hand.

The Inception Tale

After completing their BE (Bachelor of Engineering), Mr. Prakash Patel, Mr. Akash Joshi, Mr. Ketan Gondaliya, Mr. Hiren Patel and Mr. Manoj Shekhat started doing jobs in a Solar EPC company. While working there, they gained valuable experience in the solar industry and worked closely on major solar projects. After gaining a considerable amount of expertise and work experience in the solar industry, they collectively started ISUN SOLAR PVT LTD. The company began its journey by endorsing numerous small-sized residential solar projects until it got a breakthrough in one of the industrial and ground-mounted projects. Being completely bootstrapped, ISUN Group faced its own set of challenges. Finding the right manpower, skilled professionals, and financial support were some of the major challenges. The solar industry had grown crowded by the time ISUN Group ventured into it. There were already many established names in the solar industry that were taking the lead. Not only did ISUN Group take it as a healthy challenge, but it also curated strategic plans to create a benchmark of its own.

ISUN Group has always been at the forefront of providing qualitative, comprehensive, and accurate services to its customers. The team believes in serving the clientele with transparency and adequate knowledge. The team at ISUN Group comprises skilled and knowledge- equipped engineers that hold commendable expertise in creating high- octane and sustainable deliverables.

A key differentiator is a brand's distinct and unique value that sets it apart from its competitors within the market.

An Integrated Project Management System is followed where the team has complete freedom to articulate their thought processes, come up with innovative ideas, and set swift paradigms of communication within the organization. The culture is family-like, and each employee upholds the firm's work ethics.

Talking about the marketing initiatives, ISUN Group has garnered a critical edge by delivering immense value to its consumers. Because of this, the firm's expertise is spread by word of mouth and organic advertising. ISUN Group ardently believes that word of mouth creates a trustable image in customers' minds and helps strengthen the faith of new customers in its services. The team sees its customers as prominent project partners. They also remain in proper touch with the client even after project completion to assist the client in various aspects. Even if any query arises in the future, the team takes the upper hand in supporting the client, which further solidifies the business alliances.

With a focus on bringing about a strong shift in the solar industry and shaping the vision of a sustainable India, ISUN Group has spread its horizons to different segments. Clients are connected with ISUN Group through different verticals like solar, fabrication, hot-dip galvanizing, and beverages. A huge portion (nearly 50%) of the new business leads come through referrals and repetitive orders. Whereas 30% of the orders come through digital channels and the remaining 20% come from exhibitions, events, and exports.

Packed with essential electrolytes, Sodium, Potassium, and Dietary fibers, Jaldhi promises to become the superlative drink to stay hydrated, energized, and prevent dehydration. Not only the nutritional benefits it gives but also the cost-effectiveness and travel-friendly packaging of Jaldhi make it a massively scalable product.
