We stand for quality, innovation and direct customer relationships
Founded in 1980 by Mr Rambabu Agarwal, Hillson has evolved into one of the largest manufacturers and exporters of industrial safety shoes and gumboots, embodying values of integrity, resilience, and passion. Hillson’s journey is now driven forward with the vision of his sons, Mr Nitin Agarwal and Mr Sachin Agarwal who have transformed it into a global leader in safety footwear.
Hillson offers an extensive range of safety footwear and gumboots for both men and women. Designed with reinforced toes and durable materials, our footwear protects against several workplace hazards. Engineered to meet stringent safety standards, Hillson footwear serves as essential personal protective equipment (PPE) across industrial and construction environments. These safety shoes and gumboots are crafted with reinforced toes and durable materials, providing essential protection from various workplace hazards. Engineered to meet stringent safety standards, Hillson footwear is vital Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in industrial and construction sites, safeguarding workers from risks such as airborne particles, hazardous chemicals, electrical hazards, heavy objects, and biohazards.
Today, Hillson’s new presentation in the market symbolizes the brand’s commitment to innovation and ambition to elevate safety standards globally, while staying grounded in the values that have guided them from the start.
Rambabu is the visionary founder of Hillson, whose belief in thinking big sparked the creation of one of India’s most trusted safety footwear brands — at a time when few were even talking about workplace safety.
From the very beginning, his approach went beyond products. He built Hillson on relationships — valuing trust over transactions, and ensuring that no business was ever done at the cost of integrity. His guiding principle, “Never keep someone’s money,” became a cornerstone of the company’s culture.
Rambabu’s forward-thinking vision was matched by his deep commitment to people — from employees and partners to customers and communities. He saw opportunities where others saw obstacles, and he instilled in the next generation a balance of ambition, ethics, and adaptability.
Today, the growth and reputation of Hillson stand as a testament to his leadership — a legacy built on trust, foresight, and an unwavering belief in doing business the right way.
Nitin believes that growth is a journey — one that demands discipline, curiosity, and the willingness to evolve every single day.
For him, work is an expedition. He is constantly exploring new techniques, technologies, and processes that can make systems stronger and outcomes better. Yet, in this pursuit of innovation, one principle remains non-negotiable: never compromise on quality.
Known for his structured approach and sharp problem-solving, Nitin blends precision with adaptability — ensuring that progress is steady, meaningful, and built on strong foundations. He sees every challenge as an opportunity to learn, refine, and raise the standard.
For Nitin, leadership is not about titles, but about the responsibility to create better ways of working, thinking, and delivering. His focus is always on long-term value — for people, processes, and the principles that guide them.
Sachin’s journey in business began at 17, driven not by obligation but by an instinct to understand people — what drives them, what earns their trust, and how to inspire action.
From the very beginning, he built his career on a simple belief: Sales is not about pushing products, it’s about building leaders. Over the years, this belief has shaped how he leads teams — never spoon-feeding, always challenging, and ensuring people grow into self-reliant, future-ready professionals.
Known for his sharp market instincts and ability to connect with people across geographies, Sachin brings both energy and discipline to everything he does. His focus is not just on results, but on cultivating resilience, decision-making, and leadership at every level of an organisation.
For Sachin, success is not measured only in revenue but in the number of people who rise, take ownership, and lead with purpose. He believes that when you invest in building strong leaders, the results — for the business, for the team, and society — follow naturally.
Himanshu believes that world-class products are the outcome of world-class systems. For him, manufacturing excellence is not achieved through isolated improvements, but through disciplined processes that enable people to perform at their best every day.
His approach goes beyond efficiency. By embedding Lean thinking into everyday operations, he focuses on creating manufacturing systems that improve productivity, quality, delivery, and cost while building consistency, agility, and long-term capability across the organisation.
Known for his structured and hands-on approach, Himanshu works closely with teams on the shop floor to identify opportunities, eliminate waste, and strengthen operational discipline. He believes that continuous improvement is most effective when it becomes part of the culture rather than a project.
For Himanshu, manufacturing excellence is not a destination - it is a mindset. His commitment is to help Hillson build a future-ready manufacturing ecosystem where innovation, operational excellence, and respect for people work together to create lasting value.
Rajeev believes that every great company has two stories - the one it has lived, and the one the world knows. His role is to ensure those two stories become one.
He sees marketing as the bridge between the organisation's purpose and the customer's trust. By bringing together strategy, branding, communication, and customer insight, he helps shape how Hillson grows, not just in market share, but in reputation and relevance.
Known for asking the right questions before finding the right answers, Rajeev works alongside leadership teams to strengthen positioning, build meaningful customer relationships, and create brands that inspire confidence. He believes that the strongest brands are built from the inside out - when people across the organisation live the same values they communicate.
For Rajeev, the journey is not about making Hillson more visible; it is about making Hillson more memorable. His focus remains on building a brand that people choose not only for its products, but for the trust, consistency, and purpose it represents.
