He had a sharp eye for what people needed — and where things could be better. In 1999, he helped the family expand into plastic molded furniture, bringing practical and well-designed products to homes and workplaces across India. Not long after, he relocated to Delhi to set up a manufacturing unit that would serve the northern region. It was a new market, a new challenge — and one he took on wholeheartedly. But it wasn’t just about manufacturing. Vikas had a vision: he wanted to build products that didn’t just work — they made a difference.
Around 2005, when India’s construction industry was booming, Vikas noticed something. Despite the progress, the tools used on sites hadn’t caught up. Plywood formwork systems were slow, wasteful, and labor-intensive. He saw how much effort went into making them work — and how much time and money they cost in the long run. He believed there had to be a better way. With years of experience in plastic engineering, Vikas started exploring the idea of a modular plastic formwork system — one that could be reused, reduce labor demands, improve finish quality, and help projects move faster. There were failed attempts, setbacks, and learning curves. But in 2011, that belief turned into reality— Nova Formworks was born.
What started as an experiment quickly became a movement. Nova’s patented plastic formwork system changed how construction teams worked — offering speed, precision, durability, and sustainability all in one. Over time, it became a trusted partner on thousands of job sites across India and abroad. But if you ask Vikas what he’s proudest of, it’s not just the product. It’s the people. It’s the engineers who innovate alongside him. The clients who trust Nova with their biggest projects. The teams who show up every day to build something better. And the impact Nova is creating — not just in buildings, but in livelihoods, communities, and the environment.
Today, Vikas continues to lead with the same spirit that brought him here — one of curiosity, integrity, and care. He is also deeply committed to giving back, actively supporting Round Table India, helping build schools and opportunities for children who deserve every chance to thrive.
His goal is simple: To take Nova’s mission across India and beyond — making sure no builder ever has to choose between quality, efficiency, or sustainability
