About us

Started as Vivek & Co, an entrepreneurial effort by Shri. B A Lakshmi Narayana Setty.

A man inspired by Swami Vivekananda's principles of humility, hard work and service.

"Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success"

- Swami Vivekananda

Founder's Vision:

Creating employment and service to humanity was his ideology.
