In 1974, Mr. Satish Jain set out to establish what would become a trailblazing company in the mining equipment industry. With a degree in Economics and multiple job offers, Mr. Satish Jain chose entrepreneurship at his father’s urging, driven by the desire to support his family. Using his mother’s savings and a small loan, he rented a workspace, registered the business on July 5, 1974, and began touring different states with samples, securing orders and advances. As the business grew, his younger brothers joined him, and their father, despite his government job, contributed to the factory. By 1980, Mr. Satish Jain founded Gaurav Enterprises and expanded through a dealership with Escorts. In the mid-1980s, the company ventured into air compressors and developed its own jackhammer, gradually transitioning towards mining equipment.
In 2000, recognizing a growing demand from Coal India Ltd., Mr. Satish Jain began importing drill rods from China. Soon after, he established a factory in Bilaspur to manufacture coal drill rods, positioning Drillman as a key supplier to Coal India. The next generation joined in the 2000s, with his son Gaurav and nephew Puneet contributing to the company’s expansion, both domestically and internationally. Today, exports account for 15-20% of revenue, and 25-30% comes from serving Coal India. Drillman’s journey reflects the values of hard work, innovation, and family unity, making it a trusted name in the industry.
