From humble beginnings in a granite organization to Chairman of DACSS Group of Companies, Ashwin Kumar Reddy’s journey is a testament to ambition, resilience, and vision in the stone industry. With over 25 years of dedicated service, Kumar has established DACSS as a trusted name globally, offering premium granite, marble, onyx, and quartzite products.
Ashwin Kumar Reddy began his career in 1995 as an employee in a reputed granite company. However, driven by a passion for quality and a keen eye for market demand, he took a leap of faith, resigning from his job to establish his own granite trading business. By 1999, he had founded DACSS Granites, a 100% Export Oriented Unit (EOU), with a commitment to producing exquisite granite that reflects both nature’s artistry and enduring strength.
DACSS quickly grew from a fledgling business to a prominent player with over 200 employees, driven by Kumar’s mission to expand and innovate. Today, DACSS operates its own granite quarries across Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu, which supply premium raw blocks and slabs for export. Among its top products, DACSS09 Black Granite—a unique black shade granite with a production capacity of 500 cubic meters per month—has become highly prized in the European market. DACSS also operates a Viscon White quarry, adding to its impressive portfolio of in-demand stones such as Glacier White, Bengal Black, and Black Galaxy.
DACSS’s production facility, now a sprawling 15-acre site, houses state-of-the-art equipment, including two Italian multi-wire saw machines with 70 wires and two multi-head polishing machines. This advanced infrastructure enables DACSS to deliver quality, precision, and brilliance in every product, meeting international standards and exceeding customer expectations.
Reflecting on his 25 years of success, Ashwin Kumar Reddy is now diversifying into premium marble, onyx, and quartzite products to cater to the evolving needs of the construction and design sectors. In addition to expanding his product line, DACSS is adding another multi-wire saw machine to its production unit in the coming months, increasing its capacity to meet growing demand.
With an extensive portfolio and sourcing network, DACSS is a trusted partner for international clients seeking high-quality, aesthetically captivating, and durable materials for residential and commercial projects. Embodying the “King of Colors” in the industry, symbolized by the KING chess piece in DACSS’s logo, Kumar’s leadership and expertise have propelled DACSS to the forefront of the global stone market.
Ashwin Kumar Reddy’s legacy is one of quality, innovation, and unwavering commitment to excellence—a legacy that continues to shape the future of the stone industry.
