In an inspiring and spirited gathering at Treat Resort, Silvassa, the South Gujarat RMC Association (SGRA) hosted its first-ever Meet & Greet 2025 on 27–28 July 2025 — an event that marked a significant milestone for the region’s Ready-Mix Concrete (RMC) industry.
Themed “Ek Saath, Ek Soch, Ek Disha”, the two-day conclave celebrated unity, leadership, and the growing impact of the RMC ecosystem across South Gujarat.
Organized within just four months of SGRA’s inception, the event drew 100+ participants, including RMC manufacturers, industry partners, infrastructure consultants, and business leaders. The gathering wasn’t just about networking — it was about shaping a collective future.
A Platform for Vision, Growth & Collaboration
The Meet & Greet wasn’t just a symbolic congregation. It was a well-structured initiative to share knowledge, recognize contributions, and set future goals. From product presentations by associate partners like Wonder Cement, Venus Techno Equipment Pvt. Ltd., Suyog Elements India Pvt. Ltd., and support from Eicher, to insightful discussions on industry trends, the event had it all.
President Abhishek Todi (Founder – RMix Concrete) said, “Unity, education, and growth are the pillars of SGRA. Though newly formed, the enthusiasm and shared vision of our members point to a strong future. Gathering 100+ members in just four months proves our potential. The journey ahead is bright, but it calls for collaboration, innovation, and a united effort to shape the RMC industry.
Vice President Gatu Patel (Poulomi Readymix Concrete) stated, “The RMC industry has grown, but challenges like pricing and policy persist. SGRA provides a unified platform to address these issues. It’s more than an association — it’s a collective movement to strengthen and uplift South Gujarat’s RMC fraternity through unity and shared growth.”
The Panel That Mattered
A highlight of the event was the panel discussion moderated by Mr. Manish Tomar, Editor of Yugen Realty. Themed around “The Role of Concrete in South Gujarat’s Infrastructure Development”, the panel brought together industry veterans and strategic thinkers.
Nikhil Madrasi, President, SGCCI, praised the association’s fast-paced achievements: “Creating such a vibrant industry gathering within four months is remarkable. SGCCI stands with SGRA in taking this vision to government-level policy conversations.”
Dharam Bhagat, Structural Consultant said, “RMC is the backbone of infrastructure. As cities expand, so does the responsibility on manufacturers. Quality and sustainability are essential. The industry must align with global standards and eco-practices to deliver future-ready concrete that meets both structural and environmental expectations.”
Rahul Agarwal, Eicher Motors noted, “Efficient logistics is key to RMC’s future. It’s not just about making concrete, but ensuring timely, high-quality delivery. Eicher’s smart mobility solutions with fuel efficiency and tracking help streamline operations, making fleet intelligence vital to modern construction timelines.”
Chirag Karanpuria, Wonder Cement said, “Reliable cement is where quality RMC begins. At Wonder Cement, we ensure consistent supply, technical support, and innovative blends. This empowers RMC producers to scale effectively and meet the evolving demands of fast-paced, high-performance construction environments.”
Yogesh Varsada, Suyog Group shared, “Durability and sustainability are just as important as strength. GGBS and other materials enhance RMC performance, reduce cracking, and extend lifespan. Our cementitious products help manufacturers meet modern standards while building long-lasting, eco-conscious structures.”
Rom Prakash Bhagat, Venus Group said, “Today’s RMC plants rely on precision. Our advanced equipment ensures uniform batches, automation, and real-time control. This leads to better compliance, cost-efficiency, and consistent output—placing technology at the heart of RMC’s continued growth and quality assurance.”
Nilesh Vaghela, Nexus Concrete reflected, “Moving from sales to entrepreneurship, I realized RMC success lies in consistent value. Price sensitivity is a real challenge, but we focus on reliability and service to earn client trust, helping us sustain and grow in a competitive market.”
Hardik Khunt, AC Plus Concrete stated, “With a background in quality control, I founded AC Plus with discipline at its core. Consistency defines good RMC. The sector has vast potential, but growth depends on technical integrity, regular training, and meeting rising client expectations every day.”
Unity in Action, Celebration in Spirit
Beyond insightful sessions and panel discussions, the event celebrated partnerships and unity with a vibrant gala night — full of music, food, and meaningful connections — reinforcing the belief that strong businesses are built on stronger relationships.
Secretary Ankur Limbasiya (Vipul RMC) outlined SGRA’s future focus on transparency, training, and streamlined functioning, while Gautam Radadiya (AC Plus RMC) delivered a heartfelt vote of thanks to peers and partners. The event’s success was powered by teamwork, with Kalpesh Rangpuria (Surat RMC) and Hiren Bhatt (Epic RMC) playing key roles in its planning and execution.
A Milestone That Signals Momentum
The SGRA Meet & Greet 2025 was more than an event; it was a statement of intent — that South Gujarat’s RMC industry is ready to lead with vision, collaborate with purpose, and grow with resilience.
As infrastructure continues to expand and the demand for reliable, sustainable construction materials increases, SGRA emerges as the unified voice — committed to representing its members, advocating best practices, and fueling regional progress.
This was not just a gathering; it was the beginning of a movement. South Gujarat is building. And it’s building together.
