Material origin
Understanding that begins with quartz and follows the value chain through purification, polysilicon, ingot, wafer, and downstream technology.
China access
Mandarin-enabled supplier communication and first-hand manufacturing exposure across large production environments.
Value engineering

Depth on the floor.
Group Chief Technology OfficerAhmed Ali Taherali
The technologist behind JRST's plant builds. Ahmed learned the ingot–wafer craft hands-on — the machinery, metallurgy and plant operations — and ran a mono-crystal plant for three years. He led the commissioning of Maharashtra's first silicon-ingot plant end-to-end with an all-Indian team and no foreign support. A background in science underpins the technology behind every line JRST builds.
VP · Crystal Growth & Wafer TechnologyBalasubramanian Parameswaran
Three decades across the silicon value chain — crystal growth, ingot processing, wafering and quality control — including a 1 GW ingot–wafer programme and plant projects across India, the Gulf, Malaysia and China.
