Mr. K. SUBBURAJ

Chairman

A visionary with a mission

 

This the profile of a person, whose vision, the will power and the entrepreneurial skill, that has made CETHAR, a worthy contributor to the country’s power and energy needs. The word CETHAR was coined by this entrepreneur almost 25 years ago, as he had a dream of venturing into C-Chemical, E-Engineering, T-Textiles, H-Health Care, A-Agencies, and R for Reengineering. Well, today, C stands for Computers or Consultancy.


His flagship company subject, is now a leader in the manufacture of Boilers, the much-needed component for the power and energy sector. Starting with modest business, the satisfied Customer list of Cethar Vessels now covers the entire length and breadth of the country and even abroad. True to the acronym, Cethar has set their foot successfully into the Textiles, Energy (engineering) consultancy, Information Technology segments as well and new ventures in the other sectors are on the drawing board.


The group turnover is around Rs.6000.000 millions today and a target of Rs.13000.000 millions for the next financial year, is indeed achievable, as it seems now. However, the entrepreneur has a much wider vision, to do business of over Rs.45000.000 millions (USD 1 Billion) by the year 2011. He firmly believes that such achievements are not to the credit of an individual but made possible only by the collective team effort of the well qualified, well experiences and dedicated CETHAR team.


Subject has their head office at Trichy, with regional offices in all the Metros and at other important cities/towns. Other group companies of subject are, Pipelines and Process Equipments (P) Limited, who work on the piping requirements for a boiler, Cethar Industries, a vertically integrated Knitted garment manufacturer, Cethar Consulting Engineers for Engineering Projects and Cethar Consultancy Services as an I.T Solutions provider. This first generation entrepreneur, whose dream now has made Cethar, a household name especially in South India, is Mr. K. Subburaj.


A simple and unassuming type, always approachable, Mr.K.Subburaj, is respected and revered by his colleagues for his sharp business acumen, and attention to details. A Mechanical Engineer from Thyagaraja College of Engineering, Madurai (Madras University), Mr. K. Subburaj started his career at ISRO Thumba and moved on to Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, Trichy, where he got the hands-on experience in manufacturing, before his entrepreneurial desire, made him start his own venture (Pipelines India Limited) as a subcontractor to BHEL.


Mr.K.Subburaj, risked in investing in a new technology (as of 25 years ago) for Boilers when he started subject and this proved to be a correct decision as Cethar is now an acknowledged industry leader with their own technology unmatched by competitors. This profile would have to be enhanced almost continuously, as Mr.K.Subburaj’s achievements are also continuously growing, true to his entrepreneurial spirit.

 

He is also the Chairman of the Cethar group, is a mechanical engineer from Thiagaraja College of Engineering, Madurai, India. He started his career at ISRO Thumba and moved on to Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, Tiruchirapalli, where he honed and developed his experience as a Production Engineer.


With entrepreneurial foresight and business acumen he then started his own venture, Pipelines India, as a subcontractor to BHEL and has grown to his present position.

PRESS RELEASES

 

HISDUSTANIS.ORG - Cethar makes a power move with PE backing    

                                                                                                                                                                        

Dec 18, 2007                           

For private equity (PE) players, mid-sized, family-owned companies in India still retain their charm. Leading PE firms are learnt to have evinced interest in a major fund-raising programme by Trichy-based Cethar Vessels, a Rs 11000.000 millions boiler manufacturer, which has lined up an ambitious expansion programme to meet the growing demand for power generation.


Private equity players such as Chryscapital, CVC and UTI Ventures are some of the names that the closely-held Cethar is learnt to be talking to for offloading part of the promoter stake. The funds infusion could be in the range of $50-100 million, according to people close to the development.


The funds would be used up for Cethar’s expansion programme. The boiler maker had earlier said it would need about Rs 9000.000 millions to build facilities for boiler auxiliaries and pressure parts. It also plans to raise Rs 5000.000 millions from private equity funds and tie up with banks and institutions for the remaining amount.


When contacted, K Subburaj, chairman, Cethar Vessels, told ET: “We have mandated SSKI to find a private equity investor. We are meeting with Chryscapital. But it is one of the many meetings that SSKI is arranging for us. It will be at least a month before an investor is finalised.” Cethar is also likely to soon appoint an audit firm to do financial auditing and get another investment bank to help arrive at a valuation.


The company has been talking to a number of audit firms, including KPMG, for the purpose.Sources said Cethar intends to raise private equity money before March 2008 as it will help the company chip in with additional promoter’s equity for raising funds from banks and FIs. The company, which reported a revenue of Rs 11000.000 millions last fiscal and has set its sights on about Rs 17500.000 millions in the current year, has plans to go public before 2009.
