Every engineering requirement is different. Two factories making the same product may still need different machines, because their space, raw materials, workforce and budget are different. A one-size-fits-all answer often leads to wasted money and machines that do not perform.
This matters a lot for India’s small and medium businesses. As per the Ministry of MSME, MSMEs contribute nearly 30% of India’s GDP and about 45 percent of exports*. More than 5 crore enterprises are now registered on the Udyam portal*. Most of these units do not have a full-time engineering team, so they depend on suppliers who mainly want to sell their own machine.
Independent technical consultancy fills this gap. At Trefoil, Sanjay Desai follows a simple four-step method: understand the requirement, evaluate the application, develop the solution and execute with precision. The focus is on what will work on your shop floor, not on what looks good in a brochure.
Consultancy covers many areas: choosing and improving packaging machinery, developing machine components, automation of existing processes, engineering drawings for imported spares and solar energy projects. Whether you are starting a new project, improving an old process or facing a machine problem, an experienced engineer can save time and money.
One common example is spare parts for imported machines. A small packaging unit may wait weeks and pay a high price for one imported part. With a proper engineering drawing, the same part can often be developed locally. This reduces dependency on large and expensive inventories of critical spares and supports the Make in India goal of building local capability*.
Good consultancy also improves decision-making. Before you buy a machine, a consultant can check if the speed, film, product and power requirements match. After installation, the consultant can help fine-tune settings so you reach the expected output quickly.
