About

If entertainment is about joy, then innovation must be the engine that powers it. This belief has guided my journey of turning imagination into engineered reality—building some of India’s most recognized water park innovations and taking them to the global stage. The Journey: How Play Became My Purpose I’ve always been drawn to the intersection where design, engineering, and emotion meet. For me, a water slide is not just a product—it’s a moment of courage, thrill, and shared joy. But the path to building Ankam Water Park Equipment wasn’t linear. It was crafted step by step, one daring idea at a time: → From mechanical engineer to experience creator I started my career working on industrial systems but soon realized my passion lay in creating experiences—not just machines. That shift changed everything. → Built my first water play structure by hand With limited resources but unlimited vision, I began prototyping attractions that went beyond the standard models available in the market. → Launched Ankam Water Park Equipment with a mission To design next-generation water attractions—safe, patented, globally scalable, and rooted in deep local insight. → Among the first Indian companies to patent original water slide designs While most imported, we chose to innovate from within. Our signature King Cobra Naga Slide, Crab Theme Slide, and Shell Slide are now setting benchmarks across parks in India and abroad. We believe in stories—every ride has its own story. With the King Cobra Naga Slide, we didn’t just design a thrilling attraction; we created a narrative—of fear, excitement, and conquest. It’s not just a slide; it’s an experience guests remember, photograph, and talk about. Today, we proudly hold 5+ patents, with more under development. → Pioneered LRTM technology in Indian water park slide manufacturing We specialize in lightweight and durable FRP slide systems, engineered to reduce structural load and ensure ease of installation—while maintaining maximum guest safety through strict adherence to ASTM and EN standards. But for me, it was never just about building slides. It was about solving problems—making water parks more immersive, efficient, and guest-centric for the long run. From boutique resorts to large-scale theme parks, our designs are redefining how guests interact, enjoy, and remember their time. Today, Ankam Water Park Equipment is not just about slides and structures— It’s about reimagining how parks engage their guests, create memories, and stay future-ready.

Ankam Corporation was my first entrepreneurial venture in the water park manufacturing space. Operating under the brand name “BLUE WAVE”, we designed and produced a range of water park equipment - from high-thrill slides to children’s activity play structures. Our focus was on delivering safe, durable, and engaging installations for parks across India, laying the foundation for the innovation-led approach that would later define Ankam Play Systems. This phase was where we built our early reputation - combining engineering precision, quality materials, and customer-centric service - and began shaping our vision of creating not just rides, but memorable experiences.
