Setbacks Along The Way

During 2008-2012 they did multiple projects on the distillery side with good government support. Parallelly starch industry also picked up, and Satyan saw good growth during 2010-18.

Impact Of Pandemic

The covid 19 pandemic impacted the entire business dynamics. Meeting clients in person, site visits, international travel, supply chain, shipment, and deal conversions got hampered, and many projects got shelved.

The team at Satyan utilized the time to improve the process and technology areas and came up with fine-tuned and templatized models.

The post-pandemic era found Satyan consulting in a good place. The team leveraged their models and templates to speed up their execution process. Online meetings became the norm, and customers got comfortable with remote operations.

Upcoming Trends In The Industry

In the distillery space, Ethanol is the buzzword. Supportive government policies and subsidies make this sector lucrative for investors and project proponents. To stay ahead of the competition, proponents must expand horizons beyond the Indian market, especially for bi-products like DDGS and create export market.

Ethanol dispensing retail pumps (like petrol pumps), flex-fuel engines in the two-wheeler and four-wheeler segments, Sustainable aviation fuel, Jet fuel, 2nd generation ethanol from feedstock sources like Agri waste are the upcoming trends in this industry.

In the starch space, the emphasis has shifted to derivatives like dextrose, liquid glucose, dextrin, and Modified starch rather than native starch. Bi-products like germ, gluten and fiber are revenue-generating streams.

The downstream industries, like food processing, chemicals, pharma, paper, etc., have opened up to Indian starch manufacturers, providing global market exposure.

Future Outlook

Focused on long-term growth, the team at Satyan remains in continual upgradation and keeps exploring new avenues and industry segments. With templatization and a model-based approach across industry segments, Satyan strives to be relevant for its customers.

In the coming years, the ethanol market will consolidate in India. With greenfield projects drying up, the work will focus on brownfield and improvement projects which need specific expertise from a process side. Satyan is developing their team accordingly and building design skills in-house over software like ChemCAD and Aspen.

They are also growing their team in starch- an evergreen field and exploring other green energy sectors through technology tie-ups to keep the order inflows.

“Indian market showcase a great opportunity, and we are determined to make it BIG! We at Satyan are building capabilities to get into new industry verticals while continually improving in our core areas of distillery and starch.”
