Chief promoter and founder
As a librarian, accountant, manager and ultimately an entrepreneur, Mr. Kishore Laxmidas Thakkar
indoctrinates the philosophy that while success lies in many trades, it comes in a single shade-
perseverance. His rustic background enabled him to see business and life in the same light which
brought fame to the Japanese Kanban- respect for one and all. Despite the lack of a formal
engineering education, his aptitude for science and technology was accomplished enough to be
acknowledged with the President of India award by The Honorable George Fernandes, erstwhile
Industry Minister of India, back in 1977 for development of steel especially ST52.3 din 17100
grade for chassis long members. The development was in association with Rourkela Steel plant
(SAIL). Fondly called in the industry as the Father of Roll Forming Technology and chassis frame
manufacturing, Mr. Kishore Laxmidas Thakkar has shot forward his legacy for posterity to imbibe,
which enkindles the flame of excellence within the spirit that resides only in a family-led
business. As Kahlil Gibran so eloquently describes, ‘You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.’ The same sentiment resonates within all at KLT as we bask in
the glory of his endeavor.
