GEAR was founded in 2007 with a view to capitalize on the enormous opportunity presented by the infrastructure equipment rental services industry in India. The Company focuses on providing turnkey solutions to E&C companies and breaks its business divisions into 3 distinct segments:

a) buying assets for the "spot" rentals;

b) Procuring assets to service specific large infrastructure projects being undertaken by its clients - "long term" rentals and

c) Providing equipment procurement and management services to clients.

The Company is promoted and backed by two private equity investment firms, Berggruen Holdings and Cycladic Capital.
