Company Profile
A Story of Innovation, Quality, & Empowerment
In 1971, A renowned name, Ajanta, began its journey not with a grand factory or even a product; it began with a question: What if we could create something that everyone, everywhere, could trust? This question sparked the journey of Lt. Shri Odhavji Bhai R. Patel, a visionary who saw time not just as moments to measure but as opportunities to create something meaningful. From his modest workshop in Gujarat, he crafted the first Ajanta Wall Clock. These clocks didn’t just tell time; they built trust, ticking their way into millions of homes and hearts. What started as one man’s dream soon became the world’s largest clock-manufacturing company.
As the company grew, so did its purpose. Oreva emerged from Ajanta Manufacturing Private Limited legacy, not merely as a company but as a movement, driven by the belief that progress isn’t measured in seconds but in the lives we touch and the possibilities we create. From the ticking hands of a wall clock, we ventured into the pulse of innovation, transforming Ajanta Clocks into a name synonymous with trust, quality, and ingenuity.
Guided by the principle of “Value for Money,” we expanded into diverse domains, redefining innovation across industries:
- We led the charge in energy-efficient solutions with CFLs, becoming India’s 2nd largest brand in CFL. It embraced LED technology to develop a vast range of products for homes, streets, and industries.

But Oreva’s story is more than just products; it is in the people. In the middle of Kutch, Gujrat, one of the largest manufacturing plants is situated, which covers an area of 180 acres. Pioneering empowerment, the Ajanta group of companies has employed 4000 unskilled women, catalyzing change and driving innovation within the workforce.

Women’s Strength
Women Empowerment: A Pillar of our Success
Over the years, rural women in India suffered from financial bondage and were unable to change that situation. Even if they worked hard and were genetically gifted, there were no opportunities for them. Ajanta-Oreva saw this gap and decided to act—not just with words, but with meaningful action.
Today it offers employment to skilled and unskilled ones. Most of them were born and brought up poor or illiterate, and within the four walls of Ajanta-Oreva, they have been able to find more than mere employment; they have been given respectability, identity, and a career that they can build themselves.
Here, empowerment is more than a buzzword:
- It’s financial independence, where women contribute meaningfully to their families and communities.
- It’s skill development, ensuring they grow and excel in their roles.
