Kalpesh Patel of Kemrock Industries & Exports Ltd, former MD & CEO is recognised as the poster boy for advanced composites success. Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, the former president of India, opened what is believed to be the first carbon fiber producing facility in India that Kalpesh Patel had a big hand putting into existence.
Patel Led Kemrock Industries towards revolution in aerospace, defence and wind energy through production of Carbon Fiber Composites and Prepregs.
The vision to create an entire ecosystem for manufacturing composite goods, especially primordial products in aerospace, defense and wind energy decided the fusion level sustainability needed and Kemrock Industries was a product of this process — maximum integration for longevity. Carbon fiber capability is highly strategic to the company’s core, as it leverages existing resin production, technical fabric capability and moulding ability.
Patel founded his own consultancy & business advisory firm with extensive background in launches of novel products and applications in composite within a few months post the Kemrock acquisition by Reliance Industries Ltd.

Carbon fiber process is an advanced domain that India has entered into which represents a key step towards Atmanirbharta (self-reliance) in manufacturing technologies and footprints globally.
And the vision that Patel is doing shines on in the industry, illumination and freeing them to other new businesses and bring us innovative materials with advanced technology. He has an experience with regards to the boundaries of engineering and also manufacturing which he takes higher so that Master India never drags back in days along with the world.
