History & Milestones

March, 2007: Inception

We faced strong entry barriers due to the presence of very strong, established monopolistic competitors. A big paradigm shift was required at our end also as so far, we had been a working, capital-oriented, non- industrial contracting company. And this business not only required an industrial activity oriented bent of mind, but a Greenfield industrial bent of mind.

Later half of 2007:

We opened the UP Business and were awarded the UP tenders on very lose grounds. We were ready with our Business Model: Integrated 360 Degrees End to End Business to a Single Party. Till date, different functions of the value chain are being handled by different operators and every one is failing.

2008:

The entire tendering process and award of 2007 was cancelled and a spate of JVs ensued. We took support of KCDC, Burns, Bhumika, Macafferi, Monika, Ram Engineering, etc and created a very formidable consortium who qualified in every department of the business.

Tenders for Dewas and UP were presented…and subsequently we won the same.

As a result, the newest and the youngest kid on the block had won the largest MSW contract (1500 TPD) of the country – Kanpur.

Later half of 2008:

Sugar Cogen plants are tendered out and in preparation time of 5 days, A2Z wins 60 MW capacity at three locations. During this stage, the team grows to 5 men, which included Mr Rituraj Borah, Mr Rupesh Sharma, Mr Deepak Gaba and Mr Anil Srivastava.
