THE BEGINNING

Helios’s journey began with trading packaging components for cosmetics and perfumery across the EMEA region. Recognising the market's potential, the company established its first manufacturing unit in North India, focusing on personal care, cosmetics, and perfumery products. Encouraged by early success, founder Dr. Parvesh Kumar, a qualified medical professional, turned entrepreneur, pursued a broader global vision.

In 2018, Helios identified Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, as a strategic base for its next leap. With RAKEZ as a supportive partner, Helios secured a prime industrial site in Al Ghail, along with adjoining land to accommodate future expansion. RAKEZ provided timely approvals, efficient infrastructure, and critical utilities, laying a seamless foundation for the UAE manufacturing facility, even amid the challenges during the pandemic.

This marked the start of Helios’s transformation into a cross-continental manufacturing and R&D powerhouse, offering end-to-end solutions to clients ranging from startups to global giants.

“I had no roadmap, just belief and perseverance. We’ve built Helios not only as a business but as a force that empowers over a thousand families and reflects the values we stand for – resilience, responsibility, and relentless innovation.”
