With a career spanning nearly a quarter-century, Sanjeev emerges as a seasoned expert in manufacturing, procurement, contracting and EPC across diverse industries. He has worked with some of India’s brightest minds and esteemed organisations. Yet, it is his profound expertise in orchestrating large-scale infrastructure projects in diverse sectors such as Telecom, Power, Cement, Buildings, Roads, and Airports that equips him to steer Winfra Buildtech towards its towering success.

Genesis of Winfra
‘An entrepreneur is someone who jumps off a cliff and builds a plane on the way down.’ This saying fits well here as Winfra’s journey was filled with many uncertainties and challenges. Establishing a company is one thing, but steering it to success is another, and Winfra achieved both.
“Believe it or not, it’s hard to convince talented professionals to join a new company whose promoter had no earlier experience of running a business. But we are very fortunate that our team believed in us & our vision for Winfra,” sys Sanjeev with a smile. Today, Winfra boasts the industry’s finest talent pool.
Another major hurdle was generating working capital. When banks showed reluctance in extending credit to Winfra for being a new firm, the need was to meticulously manage the cash flow. As time passed, the company’s sustained growth and effective cash flow management garnered the trust of financial institutions, resulting in increased support for the ventures.
It is often said when you solve one problem, the other awaits. The next and perhaps the most difficult challenge was client acquisition. Convincing clients to trust a new company, regardless of the efficiency of its services, was no small feat “At that time, it was our perseverance and honest communication that made them believe in us and Winfra,” explains Sanjeev. One client after another, Winfra added some of the industry’s most renowned names to its portfolio.
In just 15 months since its inception, Winfra has served clients from a myriad of industries, including both private and government sectors, ranging from small businesses to blue-chip enterprises.
