IEC was founded by R. Vijayraghavan, a specialist DC motor
designer and a revered name in the Indian industry.
Vijayraghavan, who has been a Director of IEC, since its
inception in 1982, and Managing Director since 1985, has more than 30
years of rich experience working on DC Machines. He started his career as
a DC motor designer with BBC (now ABB) at Mannaheim, Germany and returned
to India after a 4 year stint. Subsequently, he joined Kirloskar Electric
Company as a DC motor designer. This was at a time when the potential for
DC motors was untapped in India with the industry unaware of the benefits
of using variable speed drives for different applications.
Vijayraghavan, then started to educate users and was largely responsible
for promoting these motors in various applications in the Indian
industry. It is due to these efforts that he is recognised as a pioneer
who popularised the usage of DC motors in India.
