Where Engineering Meets Enterprise : The Basic Automation Journey
In the world of Indian manufacturing and automation, one name has been steadily rising through innovation, resilience, and sheer determination — Mukesh Gupta, the founder of Basic Automation Solution Pvt. Ltd., a first-generation entrepreneur who turned a modest investment into a growing empire.
Humble Beginnings
Mukesh Gupta, a B.Tech in Electronics from YMCA Faridabad (1995), began his professional journey with a strong footing in the industrial automation sector. For over 6–8 years, he honed his skills, gained valuable industry insights, and understood the pulse of the market. It was this experience that laid the foundation for something bigger.
In 2008, with a vision to deliver high-quality automation solutions, he took a leap of faith and started Basic Automation Solution Pvt. Ltd. in Faridabad with an initial investment of Rs 75 lakhs — no small feat for a first-generation entrepreneur. What started as a dream has now evolved into a trusted brand in the Indian industrial and control panel manufacturing space.
Building a Legacy, One Panel at a Time
Basic Automation is today an ISO 9001:2015 certified company, known for manufacturing a wide range of electrical panels, including LT Panels, PCC, MCC, PLC panels, and distribution boxes. The company has also carved a niche in the production of motor and brake testing equipment for the Indian Railways, and is steadily gaining ground in specialized sectors.
From AC/DC Drives, APFC Panels, to customized software solutions and reporting systems, the company offers end-to-end automation and electrical panel solutions. It has become a one-stop destination for clients seeking efficiency, innovation, and quality.
Clientele That Speaks for Itself
With a client retention rate of over 90%, Basic Automation boasts a portfolio of esteemed clients including JCB, Indian Railways, Indian Army, Goodyear, Marathon Motors, and the Aditya Birla Group. It has also ventured into international markets, exporting to countries like Zimbabwe and Mexico.
What sets the company apart is its customizable approach, delivering solutions tailored to client needs — with over 90% of deliveries made on time.
People, Process, and Progress
Today, Basic Automation employs 23 dedicated professionals, with over 70% retained for more than five years, reflecting the company’s strong work culture and employee-centric values. Mukesh attributes the company's growth to smart work, team collaboration, innovation, and constant brainstorming with both employees and clients.
As of March 2025, the company clocked a turnover of Rs 5 crore, a significant rise from Rs 4 crore the previous year — a testament to consistent performance and strategic growth.
Words of Wisdom from the Founder
When asked about the secret to his success, Mukesh Gupta remains grounded:
"It's a mix of hard work, smart strategies, trust in my team, and the grace of God. We've focused on delivering better solutions at the best possible cost — and that's been our USP."
To aspiring entrepreneurs, he shares a thoughtful piece of advice:
"Gain some real-world experience in the domain you're passionate about. Understand not just your product or service, but every aspect of running a business — from operations to finance to customer service. Only then take the plunge."
The Road Ahead
With a strong foundation, loyal clients, and a dedicated team, Basic Automation is poised for continued expansion — both in domestic and international markets. Under the visionary leadership of Mukesh Gupta, the company is not just building panels — its building trust, technology, and a legacy.
