the ladder of success, he has given equal
importance to his grassroots connections.

approachable leader who connects well with
his employees, vendors, and customers.
I have always believed in rewarding
hardworking employees. I constantly look
forward to new technologies to merge
with my business. I try my best to always
be polite and am strictly against cursing.
This brings my employees closer to me and
motivates them to always be honest.”

and profession from Tata Group, he says,
“Profitable and trustworthy companies like
Tata have always been my inspiration. This
helped me to succeed by giving me the

Organized Approach to Business
Supplying materials in over 14 States of
India, he has promoted use of M-Sand
in Northern and Western parts of India,
while taking care of the environment and
preventing river destruction.
In his own words, “Our journey started
in 1999 with a reference order from one
of our infrastructure clients buying steel
from us. We found that business had been
scattered and highly unorganized in the
Construction industry. We organized the
business prospects with a commitment
for supplies, quality improvement and
compliance with government norms, which
gave us an extra edge. Clients noticed
us as an organized business group in an
unorganized sector, and we got preference
for their requirement. “Our unique selling
point includes delivering hassle-free and
supreme quality aggregates and artificial
sand. Furthermore we deliver material in
entire India.”
He is always eager to meet challenges
head-on, and solving problems through
experiences and ingenious insights.
He says that “In my profession, main
challenges to business were absence of
quality units producing good material
as per norms, and resistance from local
people thwarting individuals and business
people from outside to install new and
quality capacities. However, we got the
latest plant and machineries across the
globe to venture quality productions. Local
administration was approached and they
cooperated with us in neutralizing the
local resistance.”
