Maiwir Aims to Shift the
Mass-Consciousness of the
Humongous Construction
Industry Worldwide
Hyderabad-based Maiwir Engineering, the brainchild of Sarath C. Parupalli, an alumnus
of PSG College of Technology, has made history by introducing a patented composite-
steel structure system that would bring a massive reduction in construction time
without compromising on strength of the edifice or quality to the Indian Construction
Industry. Maiwir is the first company in India to have developed this technology,
challenging the age-old conventional methods of construction which are highly
dependent on various factors such as uncertainty, local manpower and long execution
time. The company has the distinction of having built a 7-storey building for DRDO
which houses the R & D facility for the indigenous development of fifth generation
Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) in Bengaluru. The building, completed
in a record time of 45 days, was inaugurated by the Union Defence Minister Rajnath
Singh on 17th March 22. In this interview, Sarath C. Parupalli tells us all about his
revolutionary technology and its benefits to the construction industry which is on a
growth trajectory due to the unprecedented increase in capital expenditure allocation
for the current fiscal to a tune of INR 5.5 lakh crore to propel infrastructure creation in
the country. Excerpts:
