00:00Hi, ma'am, first of all, please tell us about yourself and give us a brief introduction.
00:12Hi, Bhavna.
00:13Hi, everyone.
00:14I think today here we are at Startup Mahapalm.
00:16I think this is madness here.
00:18You can see so many startups that are here and I am here, Santoshi Budhiraju from Autocracy
00:23Machinery.
00:24We are a manufacturing startup that's based out of Hyderabad.
00:26We are into heavy machinery manufacturing.
00:29You can see all these machines.
00:31These machines are completely an import replacement in India.
00:34These machines are currently being first time manufactured in India by us.
00:38So we manufacture trenches, we manufacture aquatic weed harvesters, floating trash cleaners,
00:42solar equipment, we've manufactured dredgers, we've manufactured machines that are deployed
00:46in the defence.
00:47Can you believe that we have our machines running in Pokhara and Leh?
00:51Again, I'll tell you, again, we have given it in Africa, we have given it to Ghana, Tanzania,
01:02Congo, Middle East, we have given it to Saudi, Dubai, we have given it to then talking to
01:08Europe, we have given it in Europe, we have given it to US.
01:10I don't know the countries.
01:11I can't remember the countries.
01:12I agree.
01:13Perfect.
01:14But I can say one of the machines that we do, I think India is now no more a developing
01:18country and we have become a developed country.
01:20So now imagine 2G, 3G were scams few years back, now we are talking about the digital
01:25India and 5G and then we are talking about smart cities.
01:28So India is building its underground utility network, water pipeline, cable line, gas line,
01:34electric line.
01:35So it is all going underground and for this you need machinery and I think that is when
01:39we Autocracy came forward to do this.
01:41And I think one proud thing that I should say is I'm a manufacturing startup with around
01:4730% of female strength in my company and I'll introduce you to one of my team member.
01:52So this is Bhanu.
01:54She does all our sales.
01:55Can you believe that?
01:56So whatever turnover that we have, we have been an operationally positive manufacturing
02:00capital intensive startup but there it is another female starting, stand by next to
02:05me.
02:06Yes, and it is true.
02:07It's all happening.
02:08Okay.
02:09As she said, how much percentage?
02:1030%.
02:1130%.
02:12What are the skills that you use that you are getting so much praise because of?
02:19We have been focusing on defence, OFC cable, solar industry.
02:28Normally leads are brought by management.
02:31After bringing them, we follow the leads and order the file.
02:37How was your experience in Autocracy?
02:40We have been working here for three years.
02:43First, it took us one year to learn everything.
02:49After that, we are learning from the management.
