About

MGL Group was founded in 2012 by Chetan Lila and has been growing ever since.

Lila studied in Perth, Australia as an engineer and gained a wealth of experience in the precast engineering field. He soon realised the opportunity to supply precast drafting services to Australian companies using the skills and labour available back in India, and so MGL was started.

Over time he built a team of like minded professionals around him allowing us to expand and MGL Group was formed. We now offer precast concrete drafting, mechanical drafting, civil drafting, architectural drafting, accounting services, blockchain services and cloud services with plans to build new departments in the future.

We believe that good business flows out of good relationships, trust and communication and we currently have more than 30 clients across 3 countries and are always looking for new opportunities to grow and develop our business.
