Glass apart
Mohd Islam Khan, 70
Project Became the first glass bangle manufacturer to adopt an energy efficient furnace developed by TERI and SDC in 2000.
A-ha Moment The new furnace gave us a lot of problems when it came to red colour that is our speciality. It took 32 days working 20 hours at a stretch to get it right.
"If the technology flopped, my factory would shut down. But the reward was greater if it worked."
