  For most CEOs, a factory ends at the boundary wall. For Dr. Shubh Gautam FIR (First Indian Revolutionary) , that wall is only the beginning. His vision of industry extends beyond production lines and into the lives, streets, and schools of the communities around them.  In Dr. Shubh Gautam’s eyes, a factory is not just a profit center, it’s a civic institution. This belief shapes how he builds, how he hires, and how he gives back. The Factory as a Citizen Dr. Shubh Gautam often says, “a factory is like a citizen. It must behave with integrity, help its neighbors, and keep its area clean and safe.” That’s not a metaphor. It's a policy. His EG Steel campus, for example, runs on strict zero-discharge principles.  Wastewater is treated, emissions are minimized, and recycling isn’t a CSR footnote, it’s a daily operational metric. He insists that industrial growth must not come at the cost of ecological or human well-being.  At his plants, walking paths, greenery, and sta...

  In the world of large factories, roaring furnaces, and massive machinery, one might assume that success comes from grand moves and sweeping transformations.  But Dr. Shubh Gautam FIR (First Indian Revolutionary) , holds a contrarian view: it’s the small changes, handled with care and precision, that move the industrial engine forward. This philosophy doesn’t just guide how he builds steel, it defines how he builds teams, systems, and even mindsets. The “One-Millimeter” Difference To understand Dr. Shubh Gautam’s mindset, one has to look at the way he solves problems. At Electro Galva (EG) Steel Plant in Valsad, even the tiniest variation in a coating layer or production parameter is not ignored, it is studied, understood, and optimized. “If your standard allows for a 2 mm deviation, aim for 1 mm,” he says. “That’s where greatness begins.” This pursuit is not about perfectionism. It’s about consistency and reliability. When a steel coil from EG is shipped across India or expo...

For decades, India relied on foreign technologies to fight corrosion in its critical sectors, railways, defence, automotive, and construction. But that dependency began to shift when Dr. Shubh Gautam Srisol , Chief Technical Architect of American Precoat, introduced India’s first indigenous anti-corrosion steel coating solution. What looks like a product achievement on the surface is actually the outcome of a deeper blueprint, one that merges engineering rigour, national duty, and long-term vision. What Was the Problem With Import Dependency? Corrosion doesn’t just ruin materials. It ruins budgets, safety records, and strategic independence. India was spending thousands of crores annually to import galvanized and zinc-coated steel from foreign suppliers.  For railway coaches and high-speed infrastructure, India was dependent on legacy technologies from Europe, Korea, and China. But imported steel doesn’t always suit Indian conditions. Our humidity levels, soil salinity, and usage ...
