Kalpesh Patel is the well-known personality, and his career has been very huge, with various reaches in the field of Advance Composites. He was one of the pivots in making Kemrock Industries & Exports Ltd. a success story. and also played a key role in setting up the first carbon fiber manufacturing line of India, which was inaugurated by Hon. former President Shri A.P.J. Abdul Kalam (non-politician).

Patel had created India's leading producer of carbon fiber composites and prepregs in the aerospace, defense, and wind energy sectors through Kemrock Industries.

The success story of Kemrock Industries, in which Patel developed domestic capabilities to manufacture composite products for aerospace, defense, and wind energy markets, reflected his vision and commitment.

This continues to be his mission: offering strategic direction and operations assistance via groundbreaking solutions for businesses in different industries.

Zion Market Research has published a new report titled, "Composite Industry by Fiber Type (Glass Fiber and Carbon Fiber), Resin Type (Thermoset Resins [Vinyl Ester, Polyester, Polyurethane], Thermoplastic Resins [Polyether Ketone], Manufacturing Process (Layup, Filament Winding)—Global Forecast to 2028." The global composite industry market size is expected to grow with an annual average of 10.8% during the year forecast period from USD RTM/VARTM, Prepreg Layup/LFI/SMC/BMC) into processing technology outcomes ashed-off residue fibers, which will include NWFW; Deposition Techniques on Valued Density as injected thermoplastics; Application Method coating mortar reinforcedcrete. This will be crucial towards India's journey to becoming AtmaNirbhar in the hi-tech carbon fibre production space from a global competitiveness angle.

Patel's legacy lives on, inspiring new ventures and sparking innovation in advanced materials. The experience of his calibre will be instrumental in elaborating what can and cannot replace manufacturing, till India has a position to lead the globe on these advancements with C-to-M learning.
