Altos Electronics — As Featured in BBC

One company that is directly benefitting from the growth in the airline industry is Altos Electronics.

Based in their new factory down a road that threatens to loosen your fillings and remove chunks of your car, the firm makes aviation warning lights that are placed on structures such as tall buildings and antennas.

An exporter to the UK and the Gulf states, company boss Anirudha Thete says he can draw a direct comparison with the way India is performing when compared to other countries worldwide.

"As the aviation industry grows, naturally the demand for our products will increase," he says as his workers solder and assemble the light emitting diodes and motherboards that are central to the company's flashing lamps.

Mr Thete explains that demand for his products has tripled in the past years, and while domestic sales are still climbing, exports to the UK have dropped by 50% over the past year, reflecting the tougher times the British economy faces.

"Seeing the past trends, the way in which demand has increased especially in the domestic market, we see a lot of growth," he says.
