They have tied up with companies like Salice Paolo and Linea Cali (Italy) for designer handles. They have also tied up with Stanley Inc, USA as the sole distributors of their hardware products in India.

The franchise program of the company has benefitted many people in initiating a hardware retail setup with complete solution, including Glass Hardware & Fittings, Door hardware, Furniture Hardware and Railings.
The biggest hurdle in setting up any hardware showroom is chasing different suppliers and understanding technicalities of different products as there are more than 15000 different items that a customer may expect to be available at a hardware retail centre. Shakti Group has made this task easier and taken initiative to provide complete hardware solution to convert the unorganized hardware sector into a tremendously organized one.
