What if a science teacher’s dream sparked an energy revolution in every Indian household? Orpat isn’t just a brand—it’s a desi energy ace that’s ticked, blended, and cooled its way into our lives! Welcome to Day 7 of Desi Brand Diaries, our daily dive into India’s most epic homegrown brands. We’re cracking open a fresh tale every day—from tech rebels to festive sparklers—to make you fall in love with shopping local. Yesterday, we dazzled with Tanishq’s gold; today, let’s power up with Orpat’s innovative legacy and see how it’s been saving watts and wallets since 1971!
How Orpat came into existence?
It all began in 1971 in Morbi, Gujarat, when Odhavji Raghavji Patel—a science teacher with a knack for invention—started Ajanta with ₹1 lakh, crafting wall clocks in a rented shed. His vision? Affordable, reliable timekeepers for the masses. By the ‘90s, the brand evolved into Orpat (named after Odhavji himself), exploding onto the scene as the world’s largest wall clock maker—once churning out 13.7 million clocks in a single year (2002-03, a world record!). But Orpat didn’t stop ticking there. Spotting India’s need for practical home solutions, they diversified into calculators, fans, heaters, and kitchen appliances—think blenders that whip up chutney in seconds and kettles that boil chai on a dime.
By 2025, Orpat’s a ₹1200-crore-plus empire (aiming for ₹2400 crore by FY25, per Economic Times), with 3000 employees and a footprint in 45 countries. Their Gujarat plants hum with in-house innovation—everything from circuit boards to motors—powered by 27.25 MW of wind energy, slashing costs and carbon. From humble clocks to energy-efficient fans and heaters, Orpat’s journey proves desi grit can light up homes worldwide, one smart appliance at a time.
