About Sturlite Electric
Founded in 2009 by Mr. Sanjay Jain and Mr. Mukesh Jain, Sturlite Electric is a Bengaluru-based electrical products company that has compounded at ~35% CAGR for the better part of a decade reaching 700 Cr ARR through a 16,000+ partner channel spanning 25 states. The lighting portfolio that built the business is TUV Rheinland-certified and has earned Sturlite a rare distinction in the Indian electrical trade: a challenger brand that distributors and retailers respect on merit, not on price.
Seventeen Years Into The Business, The Founders Are Taking The Brand Into Two New Categories Committing Greenfield Manufacturing Capital At Kadi, Mehsana (Gujarat) To Do It The Right Way
Wires & Cables house wires (Flamecore+ FR-LF, Greencore+ HR-FR-LF, Ultracore+ HR-FR-LSH-LF) on Class 5 fine-flexible conductor and 99.97% electrolytic-grade copper, manufactured to IS 694 and IS 17048. Flexible/control cables, submersible cables, and communication cables (CAT 6, telephone, speaker). RoHS-clean by design, with serialised anti-counterfeit architecture.
Switchgear & MCBs miniature circuit breakers, RCCBs, isolators, distribution boards, and the wider modular protection range for residential, commercial, and light industrial use. ISI-marked and engineered to integrate naturally with the wires range at the panel and the dealer counter.
Over the next three to four years, Sturlite will grow into a multi-category electrical group of 2,000 Cr+
built on four legs: lighting, wires & cables, switchgear & MCBs, and wiring devices.
The team being built for the Power Division defines this next chapter. The Power Division is being built once. The people who build it own how it gets built.
