Our Story
- VMF India was founded with a bold vision: to make India self-reliant in exploring and unlocking its own natural wealth — hydrocarbons, critical minerals, metals, groundwater, and beyond.
- The story begins with Dr. Konstantin Dukov, a seasoned scientist from Moscow, who founded VMF Technology in 2013. Over the last decade, Dr. Dukov and his team have perfected this breakthrough, holding multiple patents and pioneering disruptive physical innovations inspired by the working principles of nature. Their work transformed the field of spectroscopy and geospatial modeling into a practical tool for direct, ultra-accurate detection of subsurface resources.
- Recognizing its immense potential for India, VMF partnered with Swati Energy & Projects Pvt. Ltd. to bring this technology to the Indian market.
- Swati Energy, established over two decades ago, has a strong track record across power, oil & gas, energy, and heavy engineering. The group has long been trusted for supplying equipment, industrial spares, and services to leading companies nationwide. With this deep industrial experience and pan-India presence, Swati provides the perfect foundation for VMF India — blending innovation with credibility and execution strength.
- Together, VMF’s scientific breakthroughs and Swati Energy’s legacy in India form a powerful alliance to revolutionize exploration, shorten discovery timelines, and secure the nation’s energy and resource future.
