Where Are We Coming From? Taro Pumps History

All of us have learned history in classrooms, haven’t we? Fascinating stories of empires, visionary leaders, mega achievements, and more have shaped our imaginations & fueled our dreams. And these stories continue to play a role in our world today. More importantly, they will persevere in our tomorrows too. And this is precisely why history matters. Where we come from matters because it is a journey that has shaped us. It is no different, when it comes to the history of a company.

The story of a company is fascinating. Anecdotes of a leader’s vision power us. Massive achievements have not only been game changers in that epoch but have set the trend for the present teams of people. And while we do not consider ourselves an empire, we are delighted to see the establishment & growth of our company since 1956!

Built on our past | Better, by history

Way back in the 1920s, a young man watched a team of bullocks working hard to draw up water to fill a man-made canal that would irrigate huge tracts of agricultural land. This was not an uncommon sight, by any means, but the young lad watching it was filled with an uncommon intent, and he discussed it with his grandfather that very evening.

The young man’s intent was to provide a better way of drawing up groundwater for farmers and making it easier for them to irrigate their fields. And he eventually came to be known as the founder of Texmo Industries—Ramana Ramaswamy.

His story is fascinating—a long sea voyage to Sheffield University to learn electrical engineering, the compulsion of an extended stay in Europe because of WWII, an amazing expansion of ideology, and a firm belief in fairness & equal opportunities to all, especially the farmers toiling in their fields.

Texmo Industries founder started the company with a handpicked band of twenty men—all of whom not only shared but also actively implemented the powerful tenets that are the hallmarks of our approach to business:

• Equality

• Quality

• Community

• Innovation

Belonging | Strength
From our ‘formal’ origin in 1956 till today, Team Texmo has stayed true to the core values and infused this commitment into every aspect of business operations—production, processes, recruitment, everyday work, and even our social media conversations! History has given us a sense of belonging, and because we belong together, we make each other stronger. The busyness of daily operations does not dilute our purpose of business. New employees learn about our history, and they see the common platform it provides for them to belong in an experienced team. Experienced employees continue to walk on a path that has been paved with proven methods, resilience, and faith. And when we thrive as a community, we are stronger.

A company’s history can never ever be just a showcase or a museum. It is a living part of everyday culture. Our decisions, communications, and purpose are all driven by the answer to the powerful question, “Where are we coming from?” It is not just mere nostalgia that makes us recall history—it is the very reason we continue to make products and deliver services that help us serve our people.
