As the Indian subsidiary of the renowned German cleaning equipment and solutions provider, Kärcher India started in 2011 and has since grown into a formidable force in the industry. Kärcher India is celebrating its 12 years of success, and this journey has been remarkable. Marking this milestone, Kärcher India organized an international meet and greet at The Lalit, New Delhi, on 1st December with Mr Christian May, Deputy CEO and CSO of Kärcher International gracing the occasion and addressed the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace, focusing specifically on women employees.

The past 12 years have shown Kärcher India's commitment to innovation and quality which has propelled them to the forefront of the industry, setting new standards for cleaning and hygiene. Their journey in India began with a small team of professionals, and today, they stand strong with a workforce of over 250 dedicated individuals. Kärcher India has 14 branches in places like Ahmedabad, Noida, Mumbai, Goa and more.

Their journey towards sustainability has been guided by strategic goals, encompassing responsibility for the environment, product responsibility, supply chain responsibility, company responsibility, corporate social responsibility, and employee responsibility.
