Mr. Kaustubh Phadtare, Managing Director of Kavitsu Robotronix has had an
intresting and inspiring business trajectory. Since he was a child, he saw his
father work with machines. Big machines and cars always fascinated him. He

Control and completed his B.Tech from Vishwakarma Institute of Technology,
which is one of the finest colleges in Pune. Further he went ahead and did his
Masters in Robotics from Newcastle University,UK. Where his project with ABB
robotics which included giving a vision to a robotic manipulator was very well
recieved. He always dreamt of working with automated systems and robots and
Newcastle University provided him with everything he wanted. Those were the
years that pushed towards realising his dreams and making breakthroughs in
this field. Kavitsu as a brand was previously well known in the Gearbox industry.
Slew bearings was a relatively new field. Thier journey with slew bearings
began when his father saw a rotating gear in Voltas. At that time, slew bearings
was a niche market and everything was either imported from Germany or China.
They discussed this and decided to Make it in India. Thats how Kavitsu
Robotronix was incepted. They did numerous tests and RnD and launched it in
the Indian market. It was well received by the businesses as they were
extremely competent and delivery times were relatively on the lower side
ascompared with other counterparts. They can proudly say that they are
counted amongst India's leading manufacturer and exporter of slew bearings.
USP of Kavitsu is Faster delivery periods, extremely competitive pricing and
