Plant Head - Pooja Castings Pvt Ltd – (Foundry Division)

My journey at Pooja Castings began in 2005 as a Trainee Junior Engineer. Now, I have the honour of serving as the Plant Head.

In 2007, I was promoted to Senior Engineer, and by 2010, I stepped up to the position of Assistant Manager. In 2014, I advanced to the role of Manager – Production. By 2016, I was tasked with the responsibility of Foundry Incharge.

In 2018, my role expanded, giving me additional responsibility for Supply Chain Management while also overseeing Foundry Manufacturing. In 2020, I was promoted to Supply Chain Management Head.

Fast forward to 2022, and I was given another great opportunity as the Plant Head. This marks my 18th year with the company, a journey that has been deeply satisfying on a professional, personal, and family level. The company has given me an incredible platform for growth, pushing me to improve consistently.

Living a happy and healthy life with the PCPL family, I plan on continuing this journey for as long as I can work and contribute.

Mr. D D Kumbhar

I joined Pooja Castings Pvt Ltd in 2000 as a Foundry Manager, bringing my experience from Piston Industries. Under the guidance of Chairman Mr Anil S Kulkarni, I started my career with hand-operated dies at the company. As we transitioned to machine-operated dies, the company began to experience growth. In 2008, I was promoted from Manager to Plant Head to Technical Director (Foundry).

From 2010 onwards, we embarked on a journey of innovation. We designed the GDC Tilt Gravity Versatile machine, developed multi-cavity dies, introduced heat treatment processes, and implemented a drop bottom furnace. We also established India’s largest Centrifugal Impregnation plant, contributing to our substantial growth. During this time, I pursued my PhD in “Effective Practices and Metallurgy in Production of Aluminum Alloys and Critical Die Castings,” combining theoretical and practical studies.

I received immense support from our dynamic Managing Director, Mr Sanket Kulkarni, in overcoming the challenges faced in GDC and achieving exceptional casting quality. Alongside the company’s growth, I experienced personal development in terms of technical knowledge, technical capabilities, and financial advancements.

The company has also allowed me to share my expertise as a faculty member in technical forums such as GDC Tech, Alucast, IIF, ARAI, and engineering colleges. Over time, my relationship with the company has evolved into that of a family member. Both our Chairman and Managing Director are committed to retaining talented employees and continuously supporting their professional development.
