Baroda Extrusion Ltd.

Alpesh Kanugo

Thanks, Khushi, for introducing us, and first of all, I would thank Finportal for coordinating and to arrange the meet. Good afternoon, everyone. On behalf of entire Baroda Extrusion Limited family. I would like to warmly welcome all of our shareholders, investors, participants to our first investor meet and earning call. I, myself, Alpesh Kanugo, Managing Director of Baroda Extrusion Limited. Along with me today, I have Vaishali Joshi, Company Secretary, and Amrit Purohit from the finance team. We are very pleased to have all of you with us. Today, 13th August, marks exactly 35 years since the formation of Baroda Extrusion Limited. That was 13th August 1991. Today is the exact 35th year, and today is the date. For us, this is not just a day.

It represents 35 years of entrepreneurship, manufacturing, relationships, challenges, learnings, and most importantly, perseverance. The foundation of Baroda Extrusion Limited was laid by my late father, Shri Parasmalji Kanugo. His entrepreneurial journey started in Mumbai's Gulalwadi area, where he was involved in the trading of metal products. From trading, he gradually moved towards manufacturing. During the 1980s, he entered into manufacturing of galvanized poles for the Gujarat electricity board, then after manufactured stainless steel Matka Pavali tapes, which became well known in the market under the Lion brand. He subsequently entered the copper industry through a drawbench operation for copper pipes, but his vision was always larger.
