Every great brand begins with a story of persistence and purpose — and Late Shri M. O. Rane’s journey is exactly that. From a small town in Jalgaon to pioneering one of India’s most trusted electrical brands, his path was shaped by curiosity, craftsmanship, and a relentless belief in progress. Starting his career with hands-on experience in engineering, design, and production, Mr. Rane transformed challenges into opportunities. In 1965, he built his first soldering pistol — a simple innovation that laid the foundation for Chhabi Electricals. Guided by his vision for reliability and customer trust, the company continues to grow with the same spirit of innovation and integrity that defined its beginning.
