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.

Zomato collaborates with HDFC Pension - Introduces ‘NPS Platform Workers Model’ - a Big Step Towards Financial Security of Platform Workers

In New Delhi, October 2025: In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, Zomato, India’s food ordering and delivery platform, and HDFC Pension, India’s largest Corporate NPS Point of Presence and Private sector Pension Fund Manager for the National Pension System (NPS), have joined hands to introduce the ‘NPS Platform Workers Model’ for delivery partners onboarded on Zomato. The model was formally launched yesterday by Hon’ble Finance Minister Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman at an event organised by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) in New Delhi, on the occasion of NPS Diwas, celebrated annually on 1st October.

This new initiative by Zomato and HDFC Pension, enabled by Kfintech, the Central Recordkeeping Agency (CRA), aims to secure the financial future of Zomato’s onboarded delivery partners.

HDFC Pension’s vision of securing retirement for Indians complements Zomato’s gig-first approach, which places delivery partners at the center of its business. The collaboration focuses on their future well-being, reflecting Zomato’s commitment to supporting their livelihoods and financial security.

As per NITI Aayog’s report (2022), the number of platform workers in India is estimated to grow to 23.5 million by FY2029-30. Currently, there exists a gap in terms of awareness as well as access to formal retirement benefits for these workers. Due to this reason, the retirement savings rate among this specific section of the workforce is negligible.

This collaboration will now enable those independent gig workers, onboarded on Zomato as delivery partners, to enjoy benefits such as long-term financial security in the form of a lump sum and a monthly pension at retirement, along with flexibilities such as making small, regular contributions. In addition, with a long-term view, the model also provides delivery partners the option of portability, allowing them to carry their benefits forward as they progress in their careers.

Digital integration has been done to make the on-boarding process smooth and hassle-free by using the existing KYC or eKYC of the gig workers, with their consent, at the PRAN generation level. Additional details can be submitted by the gig workers subsequently.​​ More than 30,000 delivery partners onboarded on Zomato have already generated their PRANs (Permanent Retirement Account Numbers) within 72 hours of this integration and the platform is committed to enable over 1 lakh delivery partners with their NPS retirement accounts within 2025.

Speaking on the launch, Sriram Iyer – Managing Director & CEO, HDFC Pension, commented, “We are delighted to bring this offering to gig workers, in collaboration with Zomato. Usually, most individuals start to appreciate the importance of retirement planning as they near retirement. Hence, we constantly endeavour to create awareness on this topic. However, not all individuals have access to formal retirement planning instruments. Through the ‘NPS Platform Workers Model’, such individuals can now start planning for their retirement. This model not only enables them to plan for their retirement but also contributes towards bringing a larger section of our population under the umbrella of long-term financial security. I would like to thank PFRDA for their vision and support in launching this model. I would also like to thank Zomato for their advocacy and initiative in implementing this model for their delivery partners. We strongly believe this will go a long way towards making India ‘Future Sure’.”

Aditya Mangla, CEO, Zomato, said, “Our delivery partners are at the core of Zomato. With HDFC Pension, we’re taking a step beyond daily livelihood—towards long-term financial security and assurance in retirement. This is part of our larger commitment to building stability and dignity for those who power India’s gig economy.”​

Zomato operates on a gig-first model, supporting an average of 5,09,000 independent monthly active delivery partners as of Q1 FY26. The company continues to invest in both industry-first and industry-standard initiatives to enhance the delivery partner experience, including a comprehensive health insurance plan that covers IPD/hospitalization, daycare treatment up to ₹1 lakh, OPD expenses up to ₹5,000, ICU costs, maternity insurance for female delivery partners, and teleconsultations, along with a personal accident cover of up to₹10 lakh - at no cost to partners. Through the delivery partner app, they have access to 24×7 SOS support in more than 800 cities, connecting them to ambulances, police assistance, and a dedicated SOS response team, as well as real-time visibility into their earnings, enabling them to track income from orders, incentives, and tips on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. To support them while on the move, Zomato has set up over 4,500 rest points in collaboration with partner restaurants and at all Blinkit dark stores, offering safe spaces with seating, drinking water, and phone-charging facilities.
