Syska LED Lights Pvt Ltd, once a well-known name in the consumer lighting market, is currently going through an insolvency resolution process after facing serious financial trouble. This process has attracted interest from four potential buyers.

“So with the courage my family gave me, I spent about two to three years working very hard to pay off my debts,” he shared.
