An Introduction

Prabha Engineering was started in 1958. It has been decades but the stone that has been laid then is now a strong foundation of world-class success. It began with late Shri Yeshwant N. Chaphekar, the man who dared to dream and imbibed untiring efforts to achieve it.

A simple boy with humble beginning, he came from a poor family. With no means of proper education at his end he still dreamt of achieving big. His journey began as a regular worker at an engineering factory in Parel, Bombay. Being a sole earner he had big responsibilities yet fate had other plans. He lost his job to an untimely strike, but instead of wailing, waiting and expecting someone will offer him chances, this man decided to take matters in his own hands.

With strong determination and gust of self-sufficiency by his side, he set up a small workshop in a tin shed at Lower Parel in Mumbai and manufactured tools and dies with only his hands as tools of precision. It were those days when technical revolution were in its initial stages. Thus began Prabha Engineering’s journey of success with Shri Yeshwant. N. Chaphekar, at the ripe age of 58 years. At an age when people think of retiring, here was a man indulging in a start-up. Such was his conviction that he thought nothing was impossible.

Today Prabha Engineering is one of the leading players in India to manufacture Wiper System & Windshield Washer System & also exporting motorised products to USA employing more than 600 associates in two of their locations in Maharashtra.
