15 Years of Growth, Gratitude, and Becoming — My Journey with KSB

Every journey has a story — here’s mine, shaped by 15 incredible years with KSB.

In 2010, I joined KSB as a Graduate Trainee Engineer — a girl straight out of college, with no big career plan or ambition, just curiosity and a willingness to learn.

Mr. Piyush Ambhore

For any mechanical engineer, earning a position in a globally respected German multinational like KSB is not just a career milestone — it’s a dream realized. That dream came true for me in 2008, when I joined KSB Ltd. as a Graduate Engineer Trainee at the prestigious Power Projects Division (PPD) in Chinchwad. What began as a fresh start in the Competence Centre has grown into a remarkable 15-year journey of learning, transformation, and deep-rooted purpose.

A Journey of Growth, Leadership, and Innovation: My 24-Year Experience with KSB-WPD

Reflecting on my 24-year career with KSB-WPD, I am filled with immense gratitude for the opportunities and support that have shaped both my professional and personal life. My journey began in 2001 when I joined as a supervisor in the machine shop. At that time, I could never have imagined that this role would be the foundation of a career path that has led me to my current position as Assistant General Manager (AGM) of Operations.

Mr. V Sanjeev Kumar

The journey at KSB has been nothing short of amazing, and I’m proud to say, it’s a privilege and honour to be a KSBian!!!

I was doing my final year project in Coimbatore during my post-graduation degree. During this time on my way to office, where I was doing my project, I would always pass through KSB. Looking at the KSB factory from outside, I was very much attracted and was hoping that one day, I would get a chance to work in this organisation. Coimbatore is considered as a Pump manufacturing Hub and I had a few friends who spoke very highly of KSB as a top multinational pump company.

I joined KSB Limited as a trainee for 2 years in August 1992 through IGTC. After completing 2 years of training I was absorbed into the Budget & Controlling Department in September 1994. I was involved in implementing a costing system in ISP. In those days I used to do bill passing, inventory-related work, project costing other costing-related activities. Also, salary & wages payment was made in cash at that time. So, we had to fill up the packets & distribute them to our employees. Till joining KSB, I had seen a bag full of cash only in movies, but then got used to it every month's end.

KSB's Core value is Growth - when we talk of growth it's not professional but personal too, while working with KSB I experienced & gained both professional & personal growth.

I started my career with KSB in Jan 2012 in Finance & Accounts (WPD) as an Asst. Manager. I never imagined that my experience in KSB would be so thrilling, KSB gave me an ideal platform to operate & implement all my knowledge & skills. I was able to submit the VAT audit report upon joining in JAN 2012, this gave me confidence and encouragement as well as reposed the faith my Manager had imposed in me.
