Rakesh Malhotra

Rakesh Malhotra believes that the best way to predict the future is to create it. His restless attitude and sharp vision makes him stand out from the rest. He has never settled for less than being a change-maker and his never-say-die attitude has inspired many. After completing his studies in Engineering, he pursued a brief stint in the industry before choosing entrepreneurship as his passion cum career.

He started his innings at Luminous Power Technologies, a company which he setup and grew into a clear leader in the inverter business. The change maker soon received the attention of Schneider Electric, who expressed an interest in acquiring the company. The company was sold to Schneider Electric but certain core elements were retained, like experiences and readying blueprints for success stories. Rakesh Malhotra has cruised many paths and has come back with a diverse array of experiences. His innovative spirit has always been to bring something new to the table to achieve his dream to create extraordinary products backed by seamless services.
