Our Leadership

40 years of engineering-led packaging.

Built by people.
Run by people.

Abhishek Group was established in 1988, born from the idea of creating complete, end-to-end packaging solutions for precision industries - from concept to commissioning, all in-house. Starting at MIDC Waluj, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, we have grown steadily over four decades into one of Marathwada's trusted names in custom packaging.

A brainchild of a team of engineers headed by Anil Deshpande and Anil Mirashi, the company has since diversified into blister packaging, injection moulding, HIPS/HDPE/PP/ABS core extrusion, PP boxes and FLCs. A complete packaging solution evolved under one roof.

Today we are ISO 9001:2015 certified, serving clients across the automotive, pharmaceutical, electronics, specialty film and engineering sectors in India and abroad.

What has not changed in 40 years: we design everything in-house, manufacture everything in-house, and stand behind everything we make.

With AICPL since March 2013, Mayur Sahane has been an integral part of the company’s journey and evolution. A Mechanical Engineer, he has grown with the organisation for over a decade, contributing not only to its technical capabilities but also to the way its products, processes, and operations have evolved.

Today, he leads Design, Development & Operations across AICPL's thermoforming and core manufacturing businesses. His expertise covers thermoformed blister trays for critical components such as PCBs, gears, and bearings; customised FLC trays engineered to exact product dimensions; and HIPS and HDPE cores for winding PPF, sun-control, and other high-value adhesive films.

Mayur's long association with AICPL has given him a deep understanding of its customers, products, and manufacturing strengths. His contribution has gone beyond executing day-to-day operations—he has helped build capabilities, develop new applications, solve complex customer requirements, and shape the company's technical and operational direction as it has grown.

Mentor Board

AICPL is guided by a mentor board of senior industry professionals who meet with the leadership team on a rolling basis to review progress, challenge assumptions and shape the next quarter’s priorities. Constituted in 2022, the board brings together decades of operational, commercial and community experience — grounding AICPL’s growth decisions in advice from people who have run businesses, built teams and faced the same choices themselves.
