History[edit]
During India's independence movement, seven years before the end of British rule, there was a critical need for PA systems. Political and non-political leaders relied on them to address large crowds. However, these systems were scarce and relied on expensive imports[3] and a limited pool of technicians for repairs. Replacing defective parts was very expensive. Many used second-hand PA systems which were unreliable.
A. N. Ahuja, whose family migrated from Sindh province in Pakistan to Delhi, envisioned a self-sufficient Indian manufacturer of public address systems. The journey started in 1940 has been fruitful and has withstood the test of time.[4]
