Kalpesh Patel: Leading the Charge from Carbon Fiber Innovation to Consulting

Success Story of Kemrock

Kalpesh Patel played a
crucial role in the success story of Kemrock
Industries & Exports Ltd.,. and was instrumental in
establishing India’s first carbon fiber
manufacturing facility, which was inaugurated by the
esteemed former President of India, Shri. A.P.J.
Abdul Kalam.
Kemrock Industries, under Patel’s leadership, made
a significant impact in the aerospace, defense, and
wind energy sectors by producing carbon fiber
composites and prepregs.
Patel’s vision and commitment to establishing a selfsufficient domestic capability to produce composite
products for aerospace, defence, and wind energy
markets were evident in Kemrock Industries’ success.
The company’s carbon fiber capability was a strategic
fit to its existing operations, augmenting its resin
production, technical fabric capability, and moulding
ability.
Post acquisition of Kemrock by Reliance Industries
Ltd., Patel started his own Consultancy & Business
Advisory in the field of Advance Composites leveraging
his extensive experience and expertise to help
companies navigate the complexities of the business
landscape. He now provides strategic guidance,
operational support, and innovative solutions to
businesses across various sectors.
The global composite industry market size is expected
to grow with an annual CAGR of 10.8% and is projected
to reach USD 181.7 billions by 2028 and is dominated
by North America and Europe, with the Asia-Pacific
region also poised for significant growth.
