Over two decades ago, Kent started its voyage at a time when there was no such industry existing in India by the name of water purifiers. A handful brands were trying their fate in this sector by selling very conventional purifiers through door-to-door marketing, and who would have thought that in a couple of years, Indian water purifier industry will become one of the most lucrative sectors for national and international consumer durable brands!

The journey of Indian water purifier industry started with the genesis of brand Kent RO, and the man behind this visionary initiative was none other than Dr. Mahesh Gupta, Chairman, Kent RO Systems Ltd. Presenting a sneak-peak into his inspiring journey.

Hence, each and every product of Kent RO is designed and sold to fulfill these 3 objectives. At present the products in the Kent RO Family are Air Purifiers, Cold Press Juicer, Vacuum / Bed Cleaners and Vegetable purifiers.

The company has also forayed into smart kitchen appliance segment with a whole new innovative range of products. This includes Noodle & Pasta Makers, Dosa Maker, Pizza & Omellette Maker, Turbo Blenders, Rice Cookers, Atta & Bread Maker and many more.
