“Great leaders don’t set out to be a leader.<br />
They set out to make a difference. It’s<br />
never about the role - always about the goal.”<br />
The above verses best summarizes Rajendra V. <strong>Gandhi</strong>,<br />
MD and the chief promoter of <strong>GRP</strong> Ltd.<br />
From building an ethical corporate organization in <strong>GRP</strong>,<br />
to serving on prestigious boards and industry bodies,<br />
public and private trusts that serve the cause of education<br />
in rubber, women empowerment, training in ethical<br />
values, water resource management, <strong>Gandhi</strong>’s immense<br />
contribution to Indian rubber industry has established<br />
him as an inspirational business leader and an iconic<br />
corporate citizen.<br />
While the global reclaim industry depended on the<br />
European technology for manufacturing, <strong>Gandhi</strong> boldly<br />
decided to design, fabricate and install an entire plant<br />
and machinery for the manufacture of Reclaim <strong>Rubber</strong>,<br />
with complete indigenous components when India was<br />
largely deprived of foreign funds for imported machinery.<br />
This pioneering effort, at the start of his career as a<br />
young graduate engineer from IIT, Mumbai, ensured the<br />
beginning of a reclaim movement in India.<br />
Under <strong>Gandhi</strong>’s leadership, <strong>GRP</strong> Ltd has emerged as one<br />
of the largest manufacturer of reclaim rubber in the<br />
world, setting benchmarks for others to follow.<br />
Its an honour to know him and present you his leadership<br />
wisdom in this edition. We also have ‘<strong>Leader</strong>ship Insights<br />
from Around the World in a Page’ as an additional<br />
knowledge resource for you. As always, I welcome your<br />

<strong>Gandhi</strong>’s immense<br />
