The first flight from techie to industrialist of Desai took off in 2000 - ‘Nidhi Systems’, was his debutant venture in the hardware of entrepreneurial track, where he delivered engineer driven solutions in the distribution and services space. Desai improved his ability and agility to turn math and physics theories of electrical engineering into entrepreneurial exercises that bore bonanzas. In Desai’s second shift of business with Himanshu Desai, who had the similar entrepreneurial backdrop, they started spanning and spreading NISH’s engineering exercises in textile, chemical and water belt of business. The dynamic duos, spelled solutions in electrical, instrumentation and automation circuits. Also worked hand in glove with corporate conglomerates in engineering their future and dream, altogether.

“I completed my graduation and after gaining experience at Hitachi-Hirel, I found myself looking at a much bigger goal. Over time, the business grew from 0 to millions in four years building my confidence. Then indicating that it was the right time to setup my own business. I started Nidhi systems, as a product distribution and services business but doing it differently, my laser-like focus was on transforming outdated technology to the latest one in textile machines, thus, supplementing customers with vigorous values. As anticipated Nidhi systems grew exponentially within 2 years being the first start up in the region crossing 1 crore turnover in 2002.”

“My ambitions were much higher and I realized the need of complementary strengths as well, hence I invited Himanshu Desai to join me. We both founded NISH, and focused on textile, chemical, steel and water sector, offering turnkey solutions which include electrical, instrumentation and automation. This strategy has been much successful as he (Himanshu) is a skilled professional in instrumentation whereas I have been trained in electrical engineering myself. This way we added more value to our customers, in particular small scale industries running on old technologies. NISH was focused on customers and worked with multinationals to create market such that SMEs can afford new technology or automation. In no time, NISH became a pioneer in changing business of its customers, yielding them high return on investment on process automation done by us.”

“Our brand is NISH – ‘Instrumentation based, process driven’, the principle is very clear, we offer niche solutions based on standard products and this simply means returns on investment for our customers. Major innovation for NISH is offering solutions in Electromation. We at NISH provide our customers project built from medium voltage, low voltage, PCC/MCC, Automation, Instrumentation, erection & commissioning and operation & maintenance.”

“NISH has never lost any customer to competition, so our major achievement is customer satisfaction, which reflects in our association with them since inception. So for us it is creating solution for the customers thereby keeping them loyal, giving us repetitive business. We wish NISH to become Asia’s leading infrastructure speciality engineering company.”
