In the early mornings at Nalco Water India Ltd (a US-based company), a young Deepak Gangwar would move through the hum of machines and the scent of chemicals, absorbing lessons far beyond textbooks. What started as an industrial trainee role quickly became a classroom in discipline, precision, and the art of execution. Each task, each client interaction, taught him that real impact comes not from what you make, but from how you solve problems for others.

Over the years, Deepak’s journey moved from factory floors to boardrooms, from hands-on technical roles to consulting, sales leadership, and people management. Each step sharpened his perspective: success lies in outcomes, not processes, and leadership means building systems that empower others to excel. In 2018, he chose conviction over comfort, leaving a secure corporate path to pursue a vision that had been quietly taking shape for years.

In 2019, Deepak S. turned his vision into reality with the founding of HNW Global, a company focused on hygiene, water treatment, and large-scale water projects. Under his leadership, HNW has expanded nationwide, serving marquee clients in hygiene, including Devyani International, RK Group, Paradise Biryani, and Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters, while in water treatment, partnering with Maruti Suzuki, Lulu Malls Group, Phoenix Malls Group, PepsiCo, and Paharpur Cooling, reaching over 10,000 QSR outlets. By introducing AI-driven monitoring tools, driving product innovation, and nurturing high-performing teams, Deepak has doubled revenues in three years, delivering measurable outcomes such as cost savings, improved compliance, and enhanced hygiene standards.

For Deepak, HNW is the embodiment of a journey from learning systems to building them, proving that disciplined execution, innovative thinking, and a focus on real-world outcomes can redefine industry benchmarks. He shares details about his work and life in this exclusive interview with Trade Flock.
