The beginning
Kaustubh Enterprises was the brainchild of their mentor MV Bhagwat. He started the organisation in 1980. Having been associated with many prestigious R&D institutions known worldwide for more than 42 years, he handled numerous R&D projects and developed wide range of appliances and equipments for the PhD students of pure and applied sciences faculties. Later he went on to become the first person in India to develop and subsequently manufacture the ‘ETO steriliser’.
The present day
Today the organisation is headed by their CEO, Kaustubh Bhagwat, the son of MV Bhagwat. He has a Masters Degree in pure sciences. He joined the organisation in 1986 and took over the upgradation and marketing of ETO sterilisers. Moving ahead in the footsteps of his father, Kaustubh Bhagwat developed the 100 per cent ethylene oxide cartridges, on his own. This cartridge is used in ETO sterilisers. He also developed the ‘unique cartridge puncturing device’ whereby the cartridges can be punctured in vacuum conditions inside the ETO steriliser. The invention/developments made by Bhagwat and his son are acclaimed and accepted by many leading surgeons and scientists world over.
