Versa Drives Private Limited

Vision

“Saving electricity with joy for a better future”

Our journey started in 1989, when Sundar and Durga began Computer Controlls Corporation (CCC) in the garage of a house in Coimbatore. It was established with the aspiration to bring innovation to counters and machine controllers used in textile, automotive testing and printing industry. CCC developed to be known for its reliable products and exceptional service. As our product line expanded, motor control became our strength, which led to the decision to focus exclusively on it. The motor control products from CCC were manufactured under the brand name ‘Versa Drives’. In 2010, Versa Drives Private Limited became a separate entity and all the businesses were transferred to it from CCC.

Versa Drives Private Limited is now one of the premier motor drive manufacturers in India that provide customized solutions to OEMs in various fields. The development team is a mix of experience and youth that specializes in the design and manufacture of motors, motor control products, and super-efficient ceiling fans that conform to global industry standards. In 2019, Murata Manufacturing Co. LTD acquired a small share in Versa Drives to collaborate on new-age motor drives that would cater to next generation motor applications.
