It is said that if you are dedicated to a task and work hard, you will get success in no time. This is absolutely true for Santosh Kumar Yadav of Tijara, a small town in Rajasthan. 44-year-old Santosh Kumar Yadav, a first-generation entrepreneur and farmer’s son completed his mechanical engineering and rose from being a trainee operator at Lloyd Electric and Engineering to becoming the founder of KRN Heat Exchangers and Refrigeration.
Today, Santosh Kumar Yadav not only supplies heat exchangers to companies like Daikin, Schneider, Kirloskar, and Blue Star but also exports them to nine countries worldwide including the US and Canada.

In 2017, he then sold his stake in the company and incorporated KRN Heat Exchangers and Refrigeration.
When he left Micro Coils and Refrigeration, Santosh Kumar Yadav had a lot of cash. After this, he along with his wife Anju Devi founded KRN Heat Exchangers and Refrigeration. At that time, he set up a heat exchanger manufacturing plant in about 10,000 square meters of space in the RIICO Industrial Area of Neemrana.
