Building Air, Breathing Change: Aadhya Airtek’s Quiet Revolution In Industrial Cooling

What if airflow was the next frontier in industrial innovation? It’s not the kind of revolution you can hear. There’s no roar of engines or pounding machinery. In fact, it’s quieter than you would expect, almost invisible. In a world where industrial noise is often seen as a sign of productivity, Aadhya Airtek has quietly carved a different path. The Bengaluru-based company is at the forefront of manufacturing High Volume Low Speed (HVLS) fans, ultra-efficient machines designed not only to cool large spaces but to do so with a commitment to energy conservation, sustainability and thoughtful design.

With fans that require minimal maintenance and drastically reduce power consumption compared to conventional systems, Aadhya Airtek is proving that airflow, often taken for granted, might just be the most overlooked opportunity in the race toward sustainable infrastructure.

What makes this more remarkable is that Aadhya didn’t emerge from a multinational think tank or a Silicon Valley-style incubator. Founded in 2020, Aadhya Airtek is not a typical startup. Its story began much earlier, in 1997, when Mahesh began a small domestic appliance servicing venture known as Prime Tech. Over two decades, that foundation evolved through Skanda Enterprises when he ventured into AC Installation and Servicing. Meanwhile, Lata who had completed her MBA dreamed of something big and advised Mahesh to get into HVAC projects and get into the industrial sector. By 2016 one of their acquaintances introduced them to HVLS fans which caught their attention. However, due to the expensive nature of the fans, they felt the product would not fit into the Indian markets. But, when Lata took up PhD and had to present her research papers internationally, they noticed these fans again in Singapore and wondered it was luck or destiny? By then one of their customers were in requirement of these fans and the duo had to get into a dealership with an existing manufacturer and provide it to the client. The second innings of Research had begun by then and when pandemic struck, AC business crushed to the ground and they thought of these fans again and launched the present-day Aadhya Airtek, a company that’s now reshaping the Indian industrial cooling landscape.

At its core, Aadhya is about more than just fans. It's about making workspaces healthier, more productive, and more sustainable. The company’s motto, ‘Less is More,’ captures both the elegance of its engineering and the ethos behind its operations. Less energy, less noise, less waste, more comfort, more savings and more intelligence.

The Power of Purposeful Engineering

Aadhya Airtek’s HVLS fans are built for impact. Available in multiple configurations, from 2 to 5 blades and sizes ranging from 6 to 24 feet, these fans can cover massive floor areas with whisper-quiet efficiency. Engineered with advanced induction, PMS and BLDC motors, their models are tailored to suit a variety of industries including manufacturing plants, logistics warehouses, auditoriums, gyms, commercial complexes, even temples, churches and schools.

The company has invested heavily in research and development to ensure their offerings address real-world challenges. Their gearless models, for instance, are lighter and quieter than traditional fans. With patented designs and a modular approach to motor development, Aadhya Airtek is leading the segment in technical refinement. The company’s engineering team works not just to innovate but to adapt. They focus on delivering solutions for structures with low roof heights, complex layouts and specific airflow needs.

Numbers That Speak

The data behind Aadhya Airtek’s solutions is compelling. Traditional industrial fans typically consume around 560 watts of power, while Aadhya’s HVLS fans bring that number down to as little as 126 watts. That means real savings, both in power and in cost. Equally important is the zero-maintenance promise of their fans, reducing operational hassle for clients.

In several installations, the return on investment has been recorded within a year. This makes the green-tech manufacturing company’s efforts not just environmentally responsible but also economically sensible, which is a rare combination in the industrial equipment space.

Designed and Made in India

Every component of their fan is developed and built in India. The company’s commitment to local manufacturing is not just patriotic, it’s strategic. By keeping the supply chain domestic, they ensure quicker delivery, tighter quality control and consistent innovation. Make in India and Vocal and Local are the 2 mantras they stand and vouch for.

The brand is already present across Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana and Delhi, and is expanding its dealer network rapidly. Its manufacturing unit boasts a monthly production capacity of over 300 units, and the company regularly features in top-tier industrial expos. As India pushes for greater self-reliance and green infrastructure, the company is well-positioned to ride the next wave of industrial sustainability.

Innovation with an Eye on the Future

One of Aadhya’s most exciting developments is the upcoming launch of its fully in-house blended motor, slated for October 2025. This innovation is expected to set a new benchmark in the HVLS segment, both in terms of energy efficiency and cost performance. It marks a critical step forward in the company’s broader goal to not only compete with global brands but surpass them on home ground.

The company is also reimagining customer experience. From site analysis to customised installation plans and dedicated post-sales support, the brand offers an end-to-end service that reflects its values including reliability, reasonability and reachability.

Quietly Winning Big

Over the last few years, the company has been steadily building a reputation for excellence. In 2023, it was listed among the Top 10 Industrial Fan Manufacturers in India by Industry Outlook. In 2024, it received the National Infrastructure Icon Award for excellence in energy-efficient fan manufacturing, followed by the Service Samurai Award for customer service excellence.

And in this year alone, the company has added more honours to its list, most notably, the Times Business Award 2025 for Innovative Leadership in HVLS Fan Manufacturing and the title of Star of Karnataka by News First TV. These recognitions didn’t arrive on marketing buzz, they came from product performance, client satisfaction and industry respect.

A Culture Driven by Vision

While Aadhya Airtek’s product range speaks to its technological strength, its internal culture reflects a deeper vision. The founders, are the perfect example of an entrepreneur-academic duo who blend technical expertise with business foresight. Their leadership has cultivated a team that is collaborative, curious, and customer-focused.

As chairperson, Lata brings academic rigour and a vision for community impact, while Mahesh leads daily operations with an eye for continuous improvement and efficiency. Together, they’ve built not just a company but a culture that values problem-solving placing people and planet above profits.

What's Next?

With the 2025 blended motor launch on the horizon and market opportunities opening up globally, Aadhya Airtek is gearing up for its next chapter. As industrial cooling becomes an urgent need in high-temperature zones across Asia, Africa and the Middle East, the company’s energy-efficient solutions could become a key export for India’s green tech portfolio.

Domestically, the company aims to expand its reach to tier-2 and tier-3 cities, bringing advanced airflow solutions to the industrial doorstep. With a product range that's both scalable and customisable, and a vision that's deeply tied to environmental stewardship, Aadhya Airtek isn't just a company to watch, but it’s a company shaping the future.
