of V-Guard dates back to 1977, when Mr. Kochouseph Chittilappilly, with a
burning passion to make a difference, set out to build a robust brand in the
Indian electrical and electronic goods market. Within a short span of time,
V-Guard grew rapidly to become a name synonymous with voltage stabilizers
across South India. The company soon expanded its range of products to include
Digital UPS, Inverter and Inverter Batteries, Electric Water Heaters, Solar

As a
nationally responsible business concern with dedication to the country’s
spirit, V-Guard has been playing our part towards the financial development of
India in our own humble ways. The most important activity in this line has been
the introduction of the Build India & Relief programme. This is an
integrated approach that aims to work with communities to facilitate access to basic
services – a decisive step that would ensure their well-being and support them
in the fulfilment of their economic, social, civil and political rights.
