Harshwardhan Gupta

About

Harshwardhan is a B.Tech in Mechanical Engg from IIT Bombay. He has been designing complex mechanical machines for the last 37 years, most of which are India’s First, and many are World’s First.
He has provided crucial design inputs to many eminent Indian and International companies, such as JK Files, Electronica, Precision Gears, Pharmalab, Godrej, Raychem RPG, Century Enka, Swedish Match, Milindia, Hindustan Pencils, Vortex Engineering, Messung Systems and Raman Boards.
In his career, he has run more than 90 major design-to-prototype-proving projects. 31 years ago, he started Neubauplan Machine Design Studio, one of India’s few, and the oldest Machine Design House in the country.
He has just finished designing and patenting a fully automatic machine for the FMCG industry for high-speed filling of shipping cartons, including opening (or erecting) the cartons, and he will be manufacturing them under his own brand name, as an entrepreneur.
Many of his designs have proved to be runaway successes. His work has often been displayed in IMTEX (India), INTERPACK (Germany), etc. The most common compliment his prototypes get is, "From where did you import the design?"
On the 60th Anniversary of India’s independence, the news daily Mint, in association with The Wall Street Journal, featured Harshwardhan Gupta among 60 Indians, "Who are making quiet, but important, contributions without seeking headlines, to help make India and, in some cases, the world a better place."
Harshwardhan has often travelled to Germany, UK and Canada to study and even to impart technology. Besides designing machines, he has also written many articles on design and technology issues, and has run a popular column, ‘Harshwardhan Gupta's Design Tips’ in the IPF for 20 issues. He was one of the initiators of IIT Bombay’s cultural festival Mood-Indigo, in 1973.
Harshwardhan also runs a popular group "Machine Designers Forum" here on LinkedIn with 4500+ members.
