COSMA in Bangalore

Taking on the challenge of bringing Panel Builders and Switchgear Manufacturers in Bangalore together to localize these objectives, COSMA Bangalore Centre was born in February 2007. The ball was set rolling by the duo of Mr. Satish Kazi, Chairman Emeritus, and Mr. Soeb Fatehi, Director and Editor COSMA NEWS. They were ably supported by Mr. D.R.Rao, President and Mr. Savla, Secretary along with many more.

Mr. Ramani, MD of Load Controls took up the mantle of responsibility to see COSMA Bangalore Centre through and has since been co-opted as a Director on the National Board of COSMA. Mr. Babu of S.B.Enterprises has taken up the Chairmanship of the Membership Drive Committee and Mr. Divaker of Balaji Electro Controls took on the Chairmanship of the Picnic Committee. Mr.Satyanarayana of M/s. Venson Electric Company has also been co-opted as a Director for Cosma. Involvement is gathering steam and COSMA unity is bound to spread to other parts of India too and the magic is very much in the air.
