Gutwillen has been awarded the Big Impact Creator in Energy Efficiency Lighting at the BIG Impact Awards 2026, one of Delhi NCR’s most respected platforms for business excellence.
On a glittering evening in New Delhi, 92.7 BIG FM brought together leading entrepreneurs, industry voices, and cultural icons from across the region under the theme Embracing Unconventional Excellence, powered by Yugen Golf City. It was on this stage that we received our award from Bollywood actress Minissha Lamba, alongside BIG FM’s beloved Khurafati Nitin, RJ Apoorva, and RJ Akriti.
Representing Gutwillen on stage were our Founder and CEO Anil Bhardwaj and Bhavna Saluja, wife of our Founder Ravi Saluja.
Formally certified by 92.7 BIG FM, this recognition celebrates our sustained commitment to innovation and our measurable impact in advancing energy-efficient lighting solutions across homes and commercial spaces in India. For us, a team that has steadily built its reputation in the LED segment over three decades, this was a proud and very public acknowledgement of everything we have worked for.

As featured on NewsNation – award coverage that reached the nation
Watch our Big Impact Creator win covered live on NewsNation.
Our recognition did not stay within the walls of the ceremony. NewsNation covered our win as emblematic of homegrown LED lighting manufacturers in India rising to meet the nation’s energy efficiency goals, validation that came not from us, but from a newsroom that simply covered what it saw. For a brand whose core proposition is trust, that kind of independent editorial coverage on a national platform means everything.
For our dealer and trade partners, this means something very practical, your customers are now hearing about us through channels well beyond trade catalogues. Growing brand recall at the consumer level simplifies your job, shortens the sales conversation, builds the foundation for repeat purchases, and converts first-time buyers into long-term advocates for both your store and our brand.
Why We Won Energy Efficiency Lighting: What This Award Is Based On
India’s energy challenge is not abstract. Voltage fluctuations, power cuts, sweltering summers, humidity-laden monsoons: most imported LED products were never built for these conditions. They flicker. They fail early.
We built Gutwillen to solve this. As a LED lighting manufacturer in India, we apply German engineering precision to Indian electrical realities. Our range, LED bulbs, flood lights, panel lights, COB spotlights, surface cylinders, strip lights, and high-bay solutions, operates from 90V to 300V, engineered to perform whether power supply is clean or chaotic. We hold ISO 9001:2015, BIS, and RoHS certifications. For us, true energy efficiency is not a specification on a box, it is a bulb that delivers across its full lifespan, not one that fades within months.
What energy efficiency in LED lighting actually means for Indian homes
A standard incandescent bulb uses 60 watts to produce roughly 800 lumens of light. A high-quality LED produces the same 800 lumens at 8 to 10 watts. That is an 85 percent reduction in power consumption for identical light output.
For a household running ten light points for six hours a day, switching from incandescent to quality LED reduces lighting-related electricity consumption from approximately 1,080 kWh per year to approximately 162 kWh per year. At an average electricity tariff of Rs. 7 per unit across Delhi NCR, that represents an annual saving of approximately Rs. 6,426 per household.
For a commercial building with 200 light points on eight hours a day, the annual saving in electricity costs from switching to LED is in the range of Rs. 1.7 to Rs. 2.1 lakh, depending on the tariff band and the specific LED specification selected.
Thirty years in the making – the founders behind Gutwillen
We are not a startup chasing a trend. Our founders bring more than three decades of expertise in the lighting and electrical industry, a depth that newer LED manufacturers in Delhi NCR simply cannot replicate overnight.
Our Founder and CEO Anil Bhardwaj has spent his professional life understanding light as something that shapes how people live, work, and celebrate, combined with Co-Founder Ravi Saluja’s commercial vision, this shapes everything we build.
“This recognition is not ours alone. It belongs to every dealer and distributor partner who chose to believe in Gutwillen, who put our products in front of their customers and stood behind them with their own reputation. This award is theirs.”
– Anil Bhardwaj, Founder & CEO, Gutwillen LED Light
