Nitin Mittal, Chairman & Managing Director, Knest, remarked, “We are building far more than formwork—we are building the future of Indian construction of high-rises, sprawling skylines & sustainable urban ecosystems. In Lighthouse, we gain not just capital but a like-minded partner who shares our vision for innovation, operational excellence, and sustainability. It’s an honour to lead the sector, a responsibility we embrace with humility and unwavering commitment.”

Knest’s flagship aluminium formwork systems are custom-designed to enable faster, more cost-optimised construction cycles—up to 3x quicker than traditional methods—while improving finish quality, reducing labour intensity and lowering environmental impact.
