Leading from Rural Maharashtra to a Nationwide Network

BVG India Limited took roots as a non-profit Bharat Vikas Pratishthan in 1993, by the then engineering student HR Gaikwad, Chairman and Managing Director, inspired by Swami Vivekananda. Gaikwad set out to help rural youth with funds for education and opportunities for jobs and livelihood. Two years later, Gaikwad was inducted as a graduate trainee engineer in Telco (now Tata Motors), where he earned management appreciation for saving huge costs through his innovative use of cables otherwise meant to be scrapped.

He used this opportunity to request the management for some jobs for rural youth from his village. The management agreed and BVG began informally as eight-member in-house outsourced housekeeping outfit within Telco (now Tata Motors) in 1997, with Gaikwad still employed in the company.

Taking inspiration from Swami Vivekananda, BVG started its operations in 1997 to cater cleaning service requirements of Tata Motors. Since then, with a commitment to deliver quality work, BVG has grown by leaps and bounds. Today, it is known to be amongst the best facilimanagement brands. With over 70,000 employees, BVG family is spread over 70 locations all over India.

Stopped Recommending and Started Hiring

Before leaving Tata Motors, Gaikwad built a strong team of 300 people. BVG was recognised by many companies and being recommended in places like Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Delhi. From just one service of housekeeping from where it started, BVG India Limited now provides the entire gamut of integrated services, like construction and relocation of factories, laying of roads, landscaping and plantation of public gardens, rural electrification project, waste management, security, catering, etc.

Engendering waste to wealth Although, increase in the waste material is becoming a challenge but BVG took this as an opportunity to repay its debt to the society by looking at waste as a resource and created a new business vertical Waste to Wealth. BVG serves government and private entities to process the inorganic and organic waste. The large ones include Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC), New Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) and Brahat Bangalore Mahanagara Palika (BBMP). This includes door-to-door collection of waste, primary processing, secondary processing and disposal of waste in terms of lifting and dumping capacity. It handles over 8, 000 tonnes waste per day.

In 2017, the Government of India undertook the Swachh Sarvekshan where it ranked cities and municipal corporations on their cleanliness parameters. In the national ranking, Pimpri Chinchwad was at 72 Rank. However, in the section of solid waste processing and disposal, which is completely handled by BVG India Limited, Pimpri Chinchwad was the national topper.

The light of prosperity of my country spreads all over and I shall be a small soldier in it as a small clay lamp, says H R Gaikwad.
