Innovative product development and a strong customer focus are the reasons behind Whirlpool of India's strong performance in the country. The recent launch of a first-of-its-kind, in-built induction oven is a hat-tip to that commitment. A subsidiary of global home appliances company Whirlpool Corporation, Whirlpool of India is a major player in the refrigerators and washing machine segments and also makes air-conditioners, microwaves and purifiers. It is counted among the top five consumer durables companies in India.
