The first-of-its-kind deal in India made Mumbai-based Vector Projects, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Uniply Industries. This has further expanded the opportunities for both Uniply and Vector Projects by integrating into an end-to-end building solutions as well as creating a single large entity that potentially doubles their business size. As a subsidiary, Vector Projects will continue to be run by its Founder & CEO, Umesh Rao, and is aiming to achieve a revenue of Rs 300 crore this fiscal. Uniply Industries will continue to support Vector Projects’ business growth in providing turnkey interior solutions.

Speaking about the acquisition, Umesh Rao, Founder & CEO, Vector Projects (I) said, “With a successful journey of over 15 years, Vector Projects is ready to enter the second phase of its business. This one-of-its kind acquisition will create a single large entity and boost Vector’s credibility among its customers and in the industry. We look forward to this deal as we will get an opportunity to maintain our independent identity with strong financial backing.”
