Our Story: Founded in 1968 by Mr. Gopalji Thakkar, PAWAN—meaning “the wind” in Hindi—began with a focus on supplying the Indian market with premium meteorological balloons. With over 50 years of experience, today PAWAN has become one of the most respected and reliable manufacturers of ceiling, pilot, and sounding meteorological balloons and is recognized by clients across Europe, Africa, South America, Asia and the islands of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

Internationally, PAWAN Meteorological Balloons have earned the trust of Meteorological and Hydrological Departments from WMO Member Nations and its reputation is built on three pillars: excellent quality, competitive pricing, and timely delivery.

Continued Innovation and Quality:  In addition to manufacturing and exporting meteorological balloons, PAWAN has expanded into data loggers, complementary instruments, and sensors, both mechanical and electronic. We also offer a range of Meteorological Consumables, such as Sunshine Recording Cards (Campbell Stokes type), Recording Charts (For Thermographs, Barographs, Rain Gauges etc.)  Felt Tip Pens, Thermometers, Rain Measuring Glass Cylinders, and radiosonde and payload recovery parachutes.

Our success is driven by a dedicated and knowledgeable team with extensive practical experience and formal training in latex manufacturing technology and weather instrumentation.  This knowledge, combined with a commitment to meeting the evolving standards of the international meteorological community, has established PAWAN as a trusted leader in meteorological solutions for over five decade.
