Pumpsense has been promoted by Himadri ( himadri.sen@vsnl.net & himadri.sen@worldofpumps.com ) and Nandita Sen with the support of their associates in the pump community. Pumpsense is based on the learning and experience accrued from establishing and running a successful pump manufacturing company, Allied Centrifugal Pumps Pvt Ltd, (ACP), since 1995. This company successfully developed split-case, end suction and inline pumps for industrial, building services and marine applications. In addition, it offered design and development services to international pump companies for listed fire pumps, both split case and inline, and a range of large end suction pumps for the European market. The company merged with WILO SE of Germany in 2005. In 2008, the company produced nearly a 1000 splitcase and end suction pumps and achieved a turnover of US$ 6.0 million with an outstanding bottom line. Himadri and Nandita Sen handed over the management of ACP to Mather+Platt (A WILO Group Company) in May 2009 in order to start PUMPSENSE, a company dedicated to creating innovative products & services for centrifugal pump users and manufacturers.
