India's rise as a global steel manufacturing powerhouse has triggered a surge in demand for high-quality ferroalloys, essential for strengthening steel products. As the country continues to expand its steel production, the need for reliable suppliers of high-grade ferroalloys has never been greater. However, achieving this level of quality and consistency has long posed challenges for manufacturers, who face gaps in both supply reliability and product standards. Founded in 2020, Quality Chrome Private Limited was established to bridge these gaps, delivering top-grade ferro alloys while ensuring consistent quality and customer satisfaction.
With a clear vision to redefine quality standards in ferroalloys, Quality Chrome has swiftly built a reputation for its meticulous attention to client needs and industry-leading products. Led by its CEO, Mr Ayush Jodhani, Quality Chrome has positioned itself as a reliable partner for manufacturers in India and beyond.
Mr Ayush Jodhani, the CEO and founder of Quality Chrome Private Limited, has been the driving force behind the company’s growth and success. His journey into the ferro alloys industry began with a deep interest in global trade and an understanding of the increasing demand for high-quality ferro alloys in both local and international markets.
Mr Jodhani’s dual Master’s degrees in International Business and Business Analytics provided him with a strong foundation to navigate global markets and develop operational strategies. “My background in international business gave me the insight to see the gaps in the supply chain for Indian-grade ferro alloys at the global level,” he explains. “I realised that there was an opportunity to not only meet these demands but to exceed expectations with superior products and a focus on building strong, lasting client relationships.”
Founded in 2020, Quality Chrome began with a clear focus on Ferro Chrome, driven by Mr Jodhani’s vision to become a leader in the Ferroalloys sector. From the very start, the company’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction set the tone for its future. “We didn’t just want to meet industry standards; we wanted to redefine them. That meant consistently improving operations, ensuring timely deliveries, and offering customised solutions,” Mr Jodhani reflects.
As Quality Chrome gained traction and its customer base grew, the company expanded its product offerings to include other Ferro Alloys products. This diversification has allowed Quality Chrome to serve a broader range of clients internationally. Today, the company operates globally, promoting its high-quality Indian-grade materials to markets around the world.
Mr. Jodhani remains excited about the company’s potential. “The opportunities for growth are limitless, and as we continue to innovate and deliver quality, we will keep pushing the boundaries of what we can achieve,” he adds.
Quality Chrome began with a singular goal— to take center stage in the Ferro alloys market, and with their commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction, they quickly made their mark in the Ferro alloys market. While the company initially focused solely on Ferro Chrome, its core product, it has since expanded its offerings to include Ferro Manganese and Silico Manganese. This expansion reflects the company’s dedication to operational efficiency and its goal of reaching a broader international client base.
“Our mission from the start has been to ensure that our clients receive exactly what they need, maintaining a professional and dependable relationship with each of them,” says Mr Jodhani. “As we grew, we realised the importance of not just meeting expectations, but consistently exceeding them.” Ferro alloys are vital components in steel production, improving the strength, durability, and resistance of steel products. Quality Chrome’s products, particularly its Ferro Chrome, have earned the trust of steel manufacturers worldwide.
“Our focus is always on providing high-quality materials with competitive pricing and tailored solutions,” Mr Jodhani adds. “By staying attuned to our clients’ evolving needs, we have built lasting relationships with our international partners.”
Quality Chrome is committed to solving the key challenges the Ferro alloys and steel manufacturing industries face. One of the most pressing issues in the sector is maintaining consistent quality in raw materials. “Quality assurance is non-negotiable for us,” says Mr Jodhani. “We implement stringent quality control measures at every stage, ensuring our products meet the exact specifications and standards required by our clients.”
In an industry where timely delivery is essential, Quality Chrome has optimised its supply chain processes to ensure products reach clients without delay. “We closely monitor our shipments during transit, minimising downtime and ensuring that our clients can maintain their operational efficiency,” Mr Jodhani explains. In addition to reliability, the company offers customisation to meet the unique needs of each client. He adds, “We provide tailored solutions, from different chemical compositions to customised deliveries.”
Cost-effectiveness is another area where Quality Chrome excels. With expertise in business analytics, the company offers competitive pricing without compromising on quality, helping clients manage their budgets. As industries continue to prioritise sustainability, Quality Chrome ensures its operations are environmentally responsible to minimise waste and reduce its carbon footprints.
With a focus on quality, efficiency, customisation, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability, Quality Chrome has established itself as a trusted partner to clients both locally and internationally, offering solutions that address the unique challenges of the ferro alloys and steel manufacturing industries.
India, being a leader in steel production, has a vast ferroalloys market, which is also highly competitive. Quality Chrome distinguishes itself within the industry through its commitment to quality, customer-focused approach, and operational efficiency. The company adheres to stringent quality standards, ensuring that its products consistently exceed industry specifications. “We prioritise quality at every stage to meet and exceed industry expectations,” adds Mr Jodhani. “We build long-term relationships by offering tailored solutions that directly address client needs.”
Their diversified offerings, expanding from Ferro Chrome to include Ferro Manganese and Silico Manganese, allow the company to serve a wider range of clients. Operationally, Quality Chrome leverages technology to streamline processes, ensuring timely deliveries at competitive prices.
“Our global presence enables us to tap into diverse markets and customer bases, allowing us to leverage insights from different regions to improve our offerings,” Mr Jodhani adds. With a highly skilled team and a focus on customer satisfaction, Quality Chrome continues to grow as a trusted industry partner.
For Mr Jodhani, success is not just about financial metrics but is their commitment to quality, client satisfaction, and impactful industry contributions. Since its inception in 2020, Quality Chrome has achieved significant milestones that reflect its dedication to growth and operational excellence.
One of the company’s first achievements was successfully launching with a focus on Ferro Chrome, a step that set the foundation for a culture of quality and reliability. Another significant achievement was expanding their product portfolio to include Ferro Manganese and Silico Manganese, which helped them build a strong client base, both domestically and internationally. “Our clients appreciate our commitment to quality and our reliability, which has been central to our growth,” says Mr Jodhani.
Leveraging technology and data analytics, Quality Chrome has enhanced efficiency and delivery times, positioning itself as a reliable supply chain partner. Strategic partnerships with industry leaders have further broadened the company’s reach, opening doors to new opportunities and collaborations. “While we are still on our journey, we have begun to gain recognition within the Ferroalloys sector for our commitment to quality and client satisfaction,” says Mr Jodhani. “Each milestone and bit of recognition fuels our drive to keep innovating and pushing the boundaries.”
Building a company is no easy feat, and Quality Chrome was no exception. Mr Jodhani and his team faced several challenges that tested their adaptability and resilience, with the pandemic and geopolitical tensions serving as the ultimate test. One of the biggest hurdles was entering the highly competitive ferroalloy market. “We focused on delivering exceptional quality and service, which helped us stand out and build a loyal client base,” says Mr Jodhani.
The foundational year of Quality Chrome was marked by the hardships of the pandemic. Early supply chain disruptions affected raw material sourcing and delivery. “We recognised the risks of depending on a single supplier and responded by building relationships with multiple vendors locally. This minimised disruptions and ensured a steady flow of materials,” notes Mr. Jodhani.
Clear and transparent communication with clients was also crucial. “We kept our clients informed about potential delays and market shifts. Managing expectations proactively helped us retain trust, even when things were uncertain,” Mr Jodhani adds. They implemented stringent quality assurance protocols to ensure consistent product quality.
Cost management became a priority, prompting the company to review expenses, renegotiate contracts, and optimise inventory for financial stability. At the same time, Quality Chrome invested in its team, providing training and resources for remote work and digital tools to ensure continued productivity. Mr. Jodhani explains, “Building a strong team in a specialised industry is challenging. We invested in a positive workplace culture and employee development to attract and retain talent, empowering them to take ownership of their roles.”
The company adopted operational flexibility, enabling it to pivot quickly in response to changing demand. Digital transformation played a key role, with investments in remote collaboration tools and data analytics. “Embracing technology helped us stay connected and efficient, which was vital during the pandemic,” says Mr Jodhani. Strategic partnerships were also crucial. By collaborating with industry partners, Quality Chrome enhanced its capabilities and expanded its reach, maintaining resilience despite external pressures.
Scaling operations to meet growing demand presented additional challenges. To tackle this, the company leveraged data analytics to optimise inventory and logistics, maintaining efficiency without compromising on quality. Market fluctuations required quick adaptation, which was achieved by actively seeking feedback from clients to refine strategies such as pricing and product offerings.
As Quality Chrome expanded internationally, navigating regulatory requirements became increasingly complex. Through extensive research and legal guidance, the company ensured compliance across diverse markets, preventing setbacks. Mr Jodhani reflects, “Each obstacle strengthened our resolve to innovate and continuously improve.”

The pandemic also pushed industries to accelerate their digital transformation. “Clients now expect transparency and real-time communication.

With rising raw material costs, managing expenses became crucial. “We’ve refined our procurement strategies and improved our inventory forecasting to better navigate fluctuations in raw material prices,” shares Mr Jodhani.
Finally, the shift to remote work has changed how businesses operate. Quality Chrome embraced cloud-based collaboration tools, enabling seamless communication and productivity across teams, even when working remotely. “Remote work is here to stay, and we’ve adapted quickly, ensuring smooth operations no matter where our team is located,” says Mr Jodhani.
Quality Chrome is currently focused on a comprehensive digital transformation strategy to enhance its operational efficiency and improve customer experiences. This initiative includes integrating advanced analytics to optimise the supply chain and upgrading technology infrastructure with cloud computing solutions. “We’re integrating advanced analytics to understand market trends better and improve decision-making,” says Mr Jodhani.
A key component of this strategy is implementing an AI-driven Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. “By understanding our clients’ preferences more effectively, we’ll be able to tailor our offerings and build stronger, more personalised relationships,” says Mr Jodhani. In addition to technological upgrades, Quality Chrome is prioritising training and development for its team to ensure a smooth transition and to maximise the impact of these changes.

Mr. Jodhani adds, “Our goal is to not only meet industry standards but exceed them, and by staying agile and responsive to market changes, we’re positioning ourselves for continued success.”
Advising aspiring entrepreneurs, Mr Jodhani shares, “Be adaptable. The business world is always changing, and flexibility opens doors to new opportunities. Stay close to your customers—understand their needs and build strong relationships. Invest in learning, build a great team, and embrace technology to streamline operations. Sustainability should be a priority, and always think long-term. Set clear goals, stay resilient, and remember that setbacks are just stepping stones to success.
