• Our Journey

Built on Engineering. Shaped by Experience.

AVR (Vikram) Valves was founded in 1975 by Late Mr. R. K. Jain, a graduate engineer from BITS Pilani, with a clear vision to establish a manufacturing enterprise focused on producing precision engine components with consistent quality and reliable performance. From its early years, the company established itself through a strong engineering mindset, disciplined manufacturing practices, and a commitment to quality-led growth.

A defining phase in Vikram’s evolution came in 1995, when Mr. Vikram Jain, an engineering graduate from MIT with postgraduate training in business management, joined the company as a working partner. This period marked a structured expansion of technical leadership and global engagement, with Vikram beginning to supply Engine Valves to international customers, including partners in the United States and other advanced markets. The company’s growing global presence was built on its ability to meet stringent performance expectations with consistency and reliability.

Over the years, Vikram has strengthened its foundation through sustained investment in manufacturing capability, quality systems, and process discipline. Operating from a modern, integrated manufacturing facility in Rajkot, Gujarat, the company combines advanced production technologies with in-house testing, validation, and engineering support. This disciplined approach, supported by internationally aligned quality frameworks and recognition from leading industry and institutional bodies, has enabled Vikram to serve demanding OEM, Tier-1, and aftermarket requirements with confidence.

As the company has evolved, its portfolio has also expanded beyond its core valve train strengths. Alongside Engine Valves and Valve Train Components, Vikram now supports customers with a select range of engine and automotive components, including Cylinder Liners, Air-cooled Blocks, Shock Absorbers, Brake Pads, and Clutch Plates. This measured expansion reflects the same principles that have defined Vikram’s journey: application understanding, supply reliability, and long-term customer value.

Equally important has been Vikram’s approach to customer engagement. By combining engineering support, responsive service, and close attention to application requirements, the company has built enduring relationships across domestic and international markets. Today, AVR (Vikram) Valves stands as a globally trusted manufacturing partner under the VIKRAM brand, recognised for stable leadership, disciplined execution, and a long-term view of performance and trust.

A mindset that shapes how we engineer, operate, and evolve

At Vikram, Think Beyond reflects a way of working rather than a slogan. It represents the discipline of looking ahead, anticipating customer needs, evolving standards, and changing operating environments while staying grounded in engineering fundamentals and process consistency.

This mindset influences how we design components, refine manufacturing processes, and support customers across applications. By continuously improving materials, methods, and validation practices, Vikram ensures that performance, reliability, and quality remain aligned with both current requirements and future expectations.

Thinking beyond also means building relationships with a long-term view. Through proactive engineering support, responsiveness, and an openness to improvement, Vikram partners with customers not just to meet specifications but to contribute to durable, reliable solutions that stand the test of time.
