A legacy of chemistry. A future shaped by climate.

Four decades of chemistry taught the family how hard things get built. Spectrum Impact puts that to work on problems a company alone cannot solve.

Spectrum Impact is the family office of Mrs. Arti and Mr. Rajendra Gogri, one of the promoters of Aarti Industries.

A legacy of chemistry.

For more than four decades the family has built Aarti Industries, from a small unit into a global specialty chemicals company. What the family knows about building things, it learned there.

  • 40+years of Aarti Industries
  • 60+countries it exports to
  • 75%of its product portfolio ranks first to fourth in the world

From the first plant to the newest fusion company, the same long view.
