Calcom Vision Limited, one of India’s leading Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) providers and Original Design Manufacturers (ODM) of energy-efficient electronics and consumer durables, has incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Calcom Astra Private Limited, to drive its export operations and accelerate international growth.

Calcom Astra will strengthen Calcom Vision’s presence in major overseas markets, particularly the United States and Europe, through an integrated approach to exports, sourcing, and vendor development. The subsidiary aligns with the company’s strategy to respond proactively to shifting global trade trends and rising international demand.

With over 25 years of experience in the electronics and lighting sectors, he brings significant expertise in scaling global businesses, having worked with multinational companies from the US, Europe, and Japan. His role will be to establish Calcom Astra as a high-performing export-led division. He holds a master’s degree in Operations Management from IGNOU and is an Electronics Engineer from Pune University.

With a dedicated team and a defined international strategy, we aim to strengthen our presence in the US and Europe. Amid ongoing trade tensions, Calcom Astra is well-positioned to capture global demand and create resilient supply networks.”
