Modern-Day Robinhood Entrepreneur Himansh Verma’s Navrattan Group Is ‘Building’ A Healthier Environment

From eco-friendly buildings to eco-friendly construction of such buildings, a world severely affected by pollution of all types, is thirsting for solutions that restore its environment and allow the air to breathe safely. Entrepreneurs like Himansh Verma, CEO of the Navrattan Group of Companies, are doing path-breaking work in helping the earth shift to its original form and save it for the progeny. One of his companies, the Navrattan Green Cement Industry (NGCI) is producing an eco-friendly alternative to the regular concrete/mortar in the form of Navrattan Green Crete (NGC). And that is just one of his many innovative undertakings aimed at overcoming the challenges of modern-day living and inspiring the governments to make significant changes  to disastrous environmental policies adopted so far.

Green Cement is The Future

There is no doubt that earth needs healing – not just from overcrowding but also from global warming, a major cause of which is carbon emissions. An MIT study, published earlier this year in PNAS journal, reported that for every kg of regular Portland cement used for construction, about 1 kg of CO2 is released into the air. Every year, the world uses billions of tons of cement to construct new buildings for homes, offices, schools, hospitals, etc. Thus, the current position of environment vis-à-vis construction business is precarious, to say the least. Products such as Navrattan’s Green cement provide respite from the polluting emissions while also taking care of the future at the same time. It is a result of the positive attitude of CEO Himansh Verma that the green cement will reduce pollution and take care of the waste management problem in metros too, because this cement is literally manufactured from garbage, or discarded raw materials like fly ash and slag. The Green Cement provides not just a unique mix of durability and strength but it is also versatile to use for every aspect of construction, be it the foundations, plastering, masonry or slabs. In the true sense of the world, the Green Cement is the savior of earth!

Business Maverick

Himansh was just 13 when he stepped into the world of business by assisting his father in the latter’s jewelry business. After gaining solid experience, he launched Navrattan Consultancy, his independent firm, in Patiala and since then he hasn’t looked back, creating one benchmark product after another. This small-town boy from Punjab is today a world-famous entrepreneur, who is a living example of the adage, “Hard Work Always Pays!” Consider this – Navrattan Group of Companies owns more than 60 IPRs of innovative projects of science & technology. He is closely associated with researchers and scientists the world over in his pursuit to produce environmentally as well as commercially sustainable technologies across several verticals. Some of his business group’s innovations include SUNSUL Technology, Navrattan Green Crete, Navrattan Thermo Chemical Gasification Technology, Composite E – Bus, Cholesterol Immunization, Basalt Rebar, etc. The research and development of his group is carried out under the banner of Navrattan Holdings Limited.

Looking At Tomorrow

Navrattan Group’s flag-bearer product, Green Crete, is the cement of the future. The global market for green building material is pegged to reach about USD 190 billion soon. Navrattan Group is going to achieve the target of 25 million tones for its worldwide licensed production by 2025. So, the future is safe because it is green. However, that is just one aspect of the future-savvy businessman Himansh Verma. In his words, “Today our flora and fauna is facing so many issues due to the reckless use of our resources. There is a need for bringing green innovations to our planet and Navrattan Group is bringing all possible green innovations to India so as to make it a better place to live.”
