Scientist
innovator Y.Yugandhar Reddy, started Medha Servo Drives in
1984 as an R&D centric organistaion, delivering globally
acceptable products to Indian railways. Today, it offers a
wide range of products for the railways starting from simple
speed recorders to entire locomotive control systems for both
diesel and electric locomotives. Medhas motto of translating
technology into innovative solution was demonstrated when
it became the first company to successfully develop and install
micro controller based system on the locomotives of Indian
railways way back in 1989.
Most
of the Indian CEO’s have their offices in corporate
offices and once in a while, they visit R&D centre. But
at Medha, YY Reddy has chosen to run his office from the design
centre, making him easily accessible to the researchers, seniors
and juniors. Heavy investment was made in the design centre,
built over 4 acres of land in Hyderabad, occupying 20,000
sq ft of air conditioned space to for designers to work with
latest tools and concepts. Heavy emphasis is placed on testing
under simulated conditions, apart from test track a loco simulator
was also used for testing.
