When Opinder Singh, Founder and Managing Director of Om Galaxy Limited, declares, “there is nothing we cannot make,” it is not bravado—it is the conviction of a man who in his four decades in the industry has lived through every stage of India’s tooling journey. From chiselling moulds by hand to running one of the nation’s most technologically advanced factories, Singh embodies the evolution of an industry.
A commerce graduate who learned his craft on the shop floor, Singh quickly realized that passion alone would not transform an industry constrained by outdated practices. When production lagged and deadlines slipped, he didn’t push harder with manpower. He bet on technology. His first CNC machine—a leap of faith, acquired without knowing what the acronym even meant—revolutionized his factory. Quality improved, output accelerated, and Om Galaxy Limited set a benchmark for precision and reliability. Today, with more than 70 CNC machines humming in synchronized rhythm, Singh’s factory is a living testament to foresight and relentless reinvestment.
Yet technology is only half the equation. Singh’s philosophy of leadership centers on people. In his world, empowerment is practice, not rhetoric. Designers are invited to challenge assumptions. And workers bring problems to the table, unafraid, free to focus on quality and innovation.
Opinder Singh’s vision extends far beyond his factory walls. He views the Indian tooling sector as an ecosystem that must grow collectively. “India has a rare window to reposition itself. Bold action, technology adoption, and a cohesive national tooling strategy are essential”, he states. For Singh, competitiveness is inseparable from nation-building. “The tooling industry is more than just a support system for manufacturing; it is the engine that drives industrial competitiveness. Our work determines not only the efficiency of production but also the potential for economic growth, both within India and across global markets”, he comments.
Through it all, Singh has never chased quick wins. Every rupee earned has been strategically reinvested—into state-of-the-art machinery, upskilling talent, and fostering a culture of innovation. For him, “Make in India” is not a slogan; it is a practice, demonstrated daily in his factory. “When we strengthen the ecosystem and keep clusters united, the entire industry thrives,” he emphasizes. At the heart of Singh’s vision is a profoundly human philosophy: combine relentless hard work with cutting-edge technology, empower people to take initiative, and build an ecosystem where every stakeholder grows together. This is how Om Galaxy doesn’t just manufacture products, it builds a future.
Opinder Singh’s leadership defines the future of Indian manufacturing. His vision goes beyond running a factory—it is about positioning India as a global leader in tooling, proving that with foresight and discipline, industrial ambition can be transformed into an enduring national advantage.
