The Asian Polyurethane Business Association (APBA) is pleased to welcome Mr. Jayant Khadilkar, Managing Director of Jay Elastomers Pvt. Ltd., as the newest member of our Advisory Board.

With over four decades of experience in the polyurethane industry, Mr. Khadilkar brings deep expertise in cast elastomers, coatings, and sustainable material development. From pioneering early bio-based formulations using castor oil and cashew shell resins to building a recognized export business across Asia and the Middle East, his track record speaks for itself.

Known for his hands-on approach, technical leadership, and commitment to industry growth, Mr. Khadilkar has contributed to numerous innovations—most notably in subsea foams, tile sealants for harsh chemical environments, and customized PU systems for industrial applications.

He is also a strong supporter of MSME development and industry-academia collaboration, and his involvement with business chambers like the IMC adds valuable strategic perspective to our collective mission.

We look forward to his contributions as we continue to strengthen regional cooperation, knowledge sharing, and innovation across the polyurethane sector.

Welcome aboard Jayant!
