   This is a very interesting blog after a long gap. I didn’t know that this company was the only single source to customers like Tata Motor, Hyundai, Ford India. Nice to hear…Impressed by the way the ENTR200 class is going.I wish the company would become the world’s best.

   It sounds like this company has reached its own special niche in the market making it successful.

   I like stories like this but I want more details of how they started and what moves they made to become so successful.

   Big things are coming for PCL! I also agree with Chris though. I think the starting out details are of a great interest of mine at this point; however, the success stories alone are good motivation and inspiration!

   “fuel and water” should be fuel and air right?

   I know Karan personally and he is a gem of person, never knew about his dad and his company before. I think this venture is amongst the top in the country. I just read the statistics and their expansion plans and I am no doubt that this company is going to rock the industry with >90% market share.

    Looks like the company found what there good at and it looks like it is also working for them. Too bad our class will be missing out on the presentation.

    The fuel and water thing made me laugh, but otherwise the company seems to have something here.

    This seems like a very successful company that could really help India become a respected industrial nation. I had no idea one of the largest manufactureers of camshafts was based in India. That was really suprising to me.

    Awesome to see a company just starting out and continuing to make headway. Its funny to think that every innovation has a starting point and every company starts off little and then becomes large. Every entrepreneur knows that in order to become a leader in a certain market or field they have to take those first few steps: putting themselves out there and building a trusted name off of a good product or service.

    Wow, continued success is definitely on the horizon for this company! Great to see they found a niche market !

    Its really interesting to see how this company has become so successful however I would be interested with some more details as well. Good luck to the company!

    Asia and India’s markets are fleshing out to be the biggest producers of products anywhere and have steadily been climbing due to cost and time. I can understand how the global market is being affected by something such as this. Seems all automobiles, including their parts, have moved overseas. Guess it’s not just the ‘American’ dream anymore. Everything seems to be going great. Good luck to you.

    I hope this company continues to go well. It’s not like it will lose its usefulness any time soon. It’s a well thought out and carried out business.

    I’m sorry about that – fuel and ‘water’ mistyping in our blog. And thanks to Brent and Hank for correcting that.
    And I appreciate all of the above wishes and comments for the company.
    Also, for those of you who would like to know more about the company and need more details, feel free to email me questions on mdavda@purdue.edu or you can simply check out the company’s official website- http://www.pclindia.in

    Thanks

    I never knew that so many manufacturers relied on this company for camshafts. I’m really into cars and didn’t know that, I wonder if any aftermarket companies have this company produce their camshafts.

    Brian Lee November 30th, 2009 at 20:32

    I didn’t know about this company either. They’re really doing well for themselves…GM, Daimler, BMW, Ford, Tata, etc…..How’d these guys find their way into so many auto companies

    Aaron Curtis November 30th, 2009 at 20:37

    This company seems like it it headed in all the right directions.

    Chris Cookley November 30th, 2009 at 20:52

    That’s pretty cool how they grew to be so large. Good for them. Keep making quality products and the success will continue.

    I wish I knew about cars so I can really be exctied about the success of this company. But it seems as though peple who are interested in cars and knows the importance of a camshaft should use this company.

    This company is so cool, i was really surprised places like India had been developing this specific cam shaft. I wanted to check out their manufacturing process, however their homepage isn’t detailed about this. But it seems to be emerging fast since it purchased partner G clancey. As reading the article, this company had a competitor, used significant financial resources to start this company from the beginning. I think the successful skills of the founder and having the international relationship with other countries enabled them success.

    The company i worked at over the summer bought a lot of their parts from companies outside of the U.S. It is definitely a good sustainable business model.

    Erica Lied December 1st, 2009 at 11:29

    WOW. It is amazing to think that something started in the 1990s can be Asia’s largest company today. The work that they do is so important to so many different things we overlook on a daily basis. I think it was a really neat blog to read about.

    India has been a fast developing country in Asia besides China, and it produces all different kinds of products and services to the world. According to the information provided above, I, personally, think that in order to compete with India, China has to learn more advanced technologies from developed countries, and share the complementary knowledges with each other.

    This company is a testament to the globalization of business…a few years ago, the concept of an Indian company growing to dominate its chosen market would have been crazy….there are really good fertile markets outside the U.S as aspiring entrepreneurs, those are markets that we need to take a close look at.

    This is an interesting blog, this is amazing

    I am not that interested in cars either, but I like to see a company that found a niche and did something about it, and ended up rising to the top. Great success story!

    This sounds very interesting. This is a very innovative company.

    This company wil be a household name before you know it.

    Theresa Reinhart December 8th, 2009 at 20:41

    It is crazy to think that such a small company turned into such a large and successful, international business that it is today and it is truly inspiring for us, young and struggling entreprenuers to gain confidence in what we believe in.

    Heath Hiatt December 8th, 2009 at 21:26

    I agree with Nate. This company is just on the brink of become a common name.

    I think this is an extremely interesting company. I would be interested to find out what kind of impact flex fuels and other “green” energies will have on this company.
