Greetings!

It is an honor to serve as the President of RATA, an organization that has been representing MSMEs in India’s HVAC&R industry for over 75 years. At RATA, our mission is to empower MSMEs, foster solidarity, and create a collaborative ecosystem where businesses can thrive in an evolving market landscape.

India’s cooling demand is set to grow 8 times from FY 2017-18 to 2037-38, with the building sector expanding 11 times. RAC manufacturing capacity will rise from 40 lakh units in 2019 to 400 lakh units by 2029. MSMEs will play a pivotal role in this transformation, and RATA is committed to facilitating this journey for its members.
