All started with a live event.
Just like a slight breeze produces small waves on a colossal sea, a small, uncanny observation made by a young engineer in February 1988 created a massive wave in the water feature industry of India, which is today known as Ripples Engineering Pvt Ltd.
Strategic Vision
Mr. Anil Raina, the visionary behind 'Ripples', first encountered the world of fountains during his time with a German food processing machinery company at an exhibition in Delhi. A few indoor fountains, imported from Germany to enhance the visual appeal of the stall, ended up drawing more attention than the actual machinery on display.
Just like the brand’s name suggests, a ripple of inspiration took root in his mind. He recognized this subtle moment as a significant opportunity and decided to venture into a new and innovative business, exploring the potential of manufacturing portable fountains in India.
Eureka Moment
Like his first encounter with water fountains, Mr. Anil Raina again stumbled upon his initial inspiration to kickstart his business in an unusual place: a book on aquariums. He used a small submersible pump, typically found in fish aquarium filters, and attached it to a locally manufactured nozzle to create his first prototype. The initial lot of fountains was exceptionally well received and sold out completely through organic publicity from his friends and well-wishers. The overwhelming response and encouragement he received gave 'Ripples' the necessary push to propel the company onward and upward from there.
Growth
'Ripples' has steadily paved its way to success, evolving from a small startup with just one employee into a thriving company with over 170 employees over the past 35 years. Today, 'Ripples' is one of the largest fountain manufacturers in India. Its product portfolio includes a wide range of offerings, from portable indoor fountains to large architectural fountains, swimming pools, and expansive custom-made multimedia fountain shows. Most of the equipment is manufactured in-house at the company’s factory in Noida, India.
The success of 'Ripples' is the result of decades of relentless research and development in the fields of hydraulics, lighting, and control systems. As an ISO 9001:2015 certified company with over 35 years of experience and some of the brightest minds in the water feature industry on its team, Ripples Engineering is undoubtedly leading the water feature industry in India and is well-positioned to enter the global market.
Brand Evolution Story
Over the last few years, Ripples has evolved from a water feature and pool company to one that creates masterpieces in public and private entertainment with water, light, and sound, using cutting-edge technology perfected over the last 32 years. This Evolution resulted in the change in brand image that you can see in our new Logo.
The four free-flowing lines form waves and the waves together form a conch, signifying life in water and the sacred sound of a conch, both of which were inspirational to the change.
What started as tiny Ripples in 1989 has evolved into a giant wave over the years.
