Achla

Minuteman International Company was started by Ashok Hingorany and Naraian Bhatia in 1977 at the peak of the oil embargo, just when wood stoves were becoming an alternate source of heating. They started out by supplying basic necessities like steamers, kettles and fireplace gloves. The company is presently owned by Ashok Hingorany and his wife Achla Bahl Madan with Bob Miller as president. Minuteman International is the parent company of ACHLA Designs which caters to the home and garden industry.
