The Fastest Growing
Company in the
Lubricant Firmament
Sandeep Gaikwad.
Founder & Director,
Yeskolube India Pvt. Ltd.
26 | JANUARY 2023
ENGINEERING
COVER STORY REVIEW
Yeskolube, the brainchild of young entrepreneur Sandeep Gaikwad, has emerged as a rising star in the
firmament of the lubricant industry in India. In an interaction with Engineering Review, Sandeep recounts the
checkered growth story of his company which has fostered a proactive approach and a symbiotic relationship
with the user industry, addressing the customers’ pain points and providing enduring technology solutions.
The company is now on a trajectory of meteoric growth, also planning its foray into the global market.
Excerpts:
Q. Yeskolube is considered the fastest growing lubricant manufacturer in
India today. How could you achieve this position in a short span of time?
We are headquartered in Pune with an all-India sales network. Our manufacturing
facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure and have the best-in-class
testing and storage units. Adding to this, we have a cadre of accomplished mentors
who guide a team of solid credentials to handle a nationwide clientele with utmost
quality and service support. It is our domain knowledge combined with vast
experience; resourcefulness, proper utilization of resources, meticulous planning,
right attitude and a burning desire to excel that have helped us achieve this
position we are in today in a short span of time. We do believe that if we
as a team stand united and work towards a mission with unwavering
commitment and dedication, the results will be positive and achievements
will be great.
Q. What are the stimuli and attributes that are helping you in
your phenomenal growth?
The industrial activities are growing and the Indian economy is on
a fast track. So if we align ourselves and stay capable of delivering
what the industry expects, we stand a chance. This is one aspect.
The other is that we are always proactive to the industry needs.
In the early phases of my career, I had identified the challenges
faced by the industry and the enormous costs incurred due to
wrong and improper usage of lubricants. We do believe that the
customer’s money is our money. It is not to be wasted. This is why
we work closely with our customers, understanding their pain points
and addressing them, providing the right solutions. So the customer
loyalty and goodwill are always there behind our growth. Added to this,
our operating philosophy and our core values serve as guiding lights in our
journey in the set direction to achieve our goals.
Q. What’s your present range of manufacture? And what are their
applications?
We offer a wide range of lubricants under the forging, casting and metalworking
fluids categories. These include graphite and non-graphite based forging
lubricants which are top-of-the- line, premium products from our
manufacturing units. Besides, there are other renowned products such
as water-based PDC die coats which are silicon-free. We also offer non-
graphite plungers which have a very high demand amongst our clients. Over
and above, we also provide a lot of metal treatments such as non-oily and non-
sticky polymers and a whole lot of allied application equipment and accessories
