Leading EagleBurgmann India Towards a Globally Inspired Sealing Future

At the heart of our organization lies a simple yet powerful philosophy: "We believe in building relationships, not just completing transactions" .

“The most influential leaders consistently put their family, friends, team, colleagues, compatriots, company, society, state,andaboveall,theircountrybeforethemselves.Gurbax Singh, Managing Director at EagleBurgmann India Pvt Ltd,isalivingtestamenttothat.”

InresponsetohisrecognitionbyInsightsSuccessIndia, Gurbaxsays, “It's a deeply humbling experience to be recognized among Maharashtra's Most Influential Leaders in 2025. While this honour holds personal meaning, I view it as a tribute to the exceptional team at EagleBurgmann India. Their dedication, resilience, and shared vision have been the driving force behind our journey. This recognition also reflects the trust we've built within the industrial community and reinforces our commitment to lead with integrity, purpose, and sustainable impact. I extend my gratitude to our valued customers for their unwavering faith and enduring trust. Their continued support has been instrumental in driving our growth and success.”

TRANSFORMING CREATIVE HORIZONS WITH VISIONARY LEADERSHIP

“Ifwhatweseestirsustothecore,thenthatisthedesignofthe highestdegree.”–VinodAlhat

In the ever-evolving realm of design, branding, and digital transformation, few names have carved out a unique niche as swiftly and impactfully as Mythical Stroke Founded in 2022 by the visionary entrepreneur and creative leader Vinod Alhat, the company has quickly established itself as a powerhouse in the transformational space. Today, Mythical Stroke is not just a name—it’s a movement, a mindset, and a masterstroke in the fusion of creativityandstrategy.

HumbleBeginningsandaBurningPassion

With a background in graphic design and a sharp eye for detail, Vinod began freelancing during his early career The projects started small logos, brochures, social media creatives—but the vision was always larger. It was during these formative years that he identified a glaring gap in the market: the lack of holistic, strategy-driven design services thatcombinedcreativitywithrealbusinessimpact.

“In 2022, I took a leap of faith and founded Mythical Stroke. The goal was simple yet ambitious—to build a design-driven agency that creates meaningful experiences and delivers measurablevaluetoclients,”herecalls.

AtthecoreofMythicalStrokeliesacompellingphilosophy: Designisnotdecoration—it’scommunication Thisbelief fuels every project, every campaign, and every creative decision.

Vinod explains, “We are not just a service provider. We’re transformation partners. We approach every client brief with the mindset of identifying what needs to change, improve, or evolvetobringthebrandtolifeinitstruestform.”

In a saturated industry where countless rms offer ‘design solutions,’ Mythical Stroke differentiates itself through its process, people, and purpose.

The company’s commitment to authenticity, relevance, and originality has been instrumental in setting it apart from competitors. Mythical Stroke operates on the premise that design,whenusedstrategically,canunlockbusinesspotential andshapebrandnarrativesinprofoundways.
