Dillip Kumar Mahanta is an Indian entrepreneur and founder of Achieve Machinery Solutions, a company specializing in verified pre-owned industrial machinery. Hailing from a remote village in Odisha, Mahanta began his career in production and sales before launching his venture in 2025. His mission is to make quality machinery accessible to small-scale businesses across India. Through his work, he empowers entrepreneurs by offering affordable solutions that support industrial growth without heavy financial burdens.

Early Life and Education

Dillip Kumar Mahanta was born on 7 February 1993 in a remote tribal village located deep within the forests of Odisha, India. His village is situated nearly 15 kilometers inside dense forest terrain, with no human habitation beyond its borders. The challenges of growing up in such an isolated area were immense—from lack of infrastructure to limited access to education and basic amenities. Despite these hardships, Mahanta showed a deep commitment to learning from an early age.

He began his schooling in a government-run Odia medium school, walking approximately 5 kilometers daily just to attend classes. From Class 6 onwards, he moved into hostel-based education to continue his studies, eventually completing his 10th grade with top honors and emerging as a school topper. His early academic success became the foundation for his later professional achievements.

Following school, Mahanta pursued a diploma in engineering, setting the stage for his future in the industrial machinery sector. His determination and perseverance in overcoming socioeconomic barriers became a hallmark of his life and career.

Career Journey

Mahanta began his professional career as a Trainee in the Production Department at Automatas Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore. There, he quickly adapted to the high standards of industrial manufacturing and demonstrated exceptional technical understanding. His work ethic earned him rapid promotions, leading to roles in Jamshedpur as Production Incharge, and later in Pune as Production Head.

While his engineering background gave him a strong foundation in production, Mahanta’s communication skills and deep understanding of customer needs eventually steered him toward the sales domain. Over the next seven years, he served as a Sales Manager in a prominent fly ash bricks machine manufacturing company.

During this time, he traveled extensively, meeting countless aspiring entrepreneurs across India. He listened to their dreams, understood their financial challenges, and recognized a gap in the market—many small-scale business owners were unable to afford new machines due to budget constraints. This recurring issue left a lasting impression on Mahanta and planted the seed for his future venture.

Founding of Achieve Machinery Solutions

In 2025, Dillip Kumar Mahanta founded Achieve Machinery Solutions with a mission to make industrial machinery more accessible and affordable for India's small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Headquartered in India, the company focuses on verified, pre-owned machinery across a wide range of industrial segments including Fly Ash Bricks Machines, DG Sets, Concrete Mixers, and Rotavators.

The idea behind the company originated during his time in sales, when Mahanta frequently encountered customers who expressed interest in machinery but lacked the funds to purchase new equipment. With a deep understanding of both the product and the market, he decided to offer a reliable alternative: pre-owned machines that function like new, at a fraction of the cost.

The first machine he sold was a refurbished fly ash brick machine. Mahanta personally inspected and restored it to working condition before selling it to a small unit. The customer later told him, “Bhai, aapne meri factory ko chalu karwa diya,” meaning “Brother, you made it possible for me to start my factory.” That moment cemented Mahanta’s belief that he was not just selling machines—he was enabling dreams.

Business Model and Impact

Achieve Machinery Solutions operates on a transparent and trust-based model, offering verified and tested second-hand industrial machines that deliver value without overburdening the buyer financially. The company has quickly gained a reputation for reliability, affordability, and service quality in the industrial resale sector.

The brand’s core philosophy revolves around one mission: “Desh ke har kone mein ek chhota udyog bada ban sake” (“Let every small business across the nation grow big.”)

Through this initiative, Mahanta has empowered numerous micro and small-scale entrepreneurs who previously struggled with startup costs. His company has emerged as a trusted name for those seeking to begin or expand their operations without heavy upfront investments.

Vision and Future Plans

Mahanta envisions Achieve Machinery Solutions becoming a pan-India network that bridges the gap between surplus industrial resources and entrepreneurs in need. He aims to integrate digital platforms, inspection technology, and logistics solutions to streamline the resale process and ensure a wider reach across rural and semi-urban areas.

Additionally, Mahanta is exploring the development of an online marketplace that connects buyers and sellers of pre-owned machinery, complete with certification, inspection reports, and EMI options to simplify procurement for end-users.

Personal Philosophy and Legacy

Dillip Kumar Mahanta’s journey from a forest-bound village in Odisha to becoming a self-made entrepreneur is a powerful story of grit, vision, and empathy. His humble beginnings have kept him grounded, while his professional experiences have shaped him into a thoughtful and mission-driven leader.

By combining technical expertise with a deep sense of purpose, Mahanta is not only transforming the second-hand machinery market but also rewriting the success stories of countless rural entrepreneurs. His life and work continue to inspire young minds—especially those from underprivileged backgrounds—that with the right intention and effort, no dream is too big, and no place is too small to start.
