Personal info
I am Vishaal Kaushal, an entrepreneur in the field of gas detection and industrial safety, based in India. Over the last few decades, I have been closely involved in building Respo Products and Respo Safety Solutions Pvt. Ltd. into trusted names for fixed gas detection systems, portable gas detectors, and related safety solutions.
My journey started with trading and distribution, and has steadily evolved into full-scale “Make in India” manufacturing with our own product lines and a modern manufacturing facility in Agra. I work at the intersection of technology, compliance, and customer need—focusing on reliable gas detection, long-term partnerships, and uncompromising safety for critical industries like Oil & Gas, City Gas Distribution, Chemicals, Fertilizers, and Power.
Beyond business, I am deeply passionate about creating Indian-made solutions that can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with global brands in quality, innovation, and service.
