The inception of the leader

"We don't do things differently; we do it the right way"

During his professional stint with top brands such as Batliboi& Voltas, Mr Duggal scrutinized how his marketing capabilities and sales expertise can help him build his own empire.

This plunge was enough for him to make his entrance into the entrepreneurial world. Tapping the open market was daunting for an engineer but he had to find his way.

Spearheading as a Differentiator

The industry at large has branded HVAC vendors as 'Show Stoppers' strictly, as quite a quantum of work and dependency of other agencies is on HVAC Contractors. This has earned a bad name for HVAC professionals and that precisely irks the MD of HTL the most.
