Shilp Gravures began operations in 1989 as an engraving house, when gravure industry in India was at its infancy. It had an inherent cutting edge, having been founded and run by a team of experienced technocrats, led by the visionary Ambar Patel. In 1990, the company set up its own chemical etching facility and in 1993, it opened the first and only electronic engraving house in India - Shilp Gravures Limited. From chemical etching to electronic engraving, it was a huge leap. But, thanks to its technocreativity, Shilp Gravures developed a special expertise in electronic engraving within a very short while.
In 1995, the company graduated to commercial production of electronically engraved cylinders, pioneering the technology in India. In the years that followed, Shilp Gravures brought the world's best in technology and software to India, as they emerged in global technology capitals.
