J.R.D.

Tata
J.R.D. Tata, in full Jehangir Ratanji Dadabhoya Tata, (born July 29, 1904, Paris,
France—died November 29, 1993, Geneva, Switzerland), Indian businessman who expanded
the Tata Group, India’s largest industrial empire. Tata was born into one of India’s wealthiest
families, his mother was French, and he spent much of his childhood in France. As a result,
French was his first language. After studying in France, Japan, and England, He returns to
India to assume his role in the Tata family business in 1925. Established in 1868 by Tata’s
great-grandfather, the Tata Group was one of India’s largest business companies. 'Jeh', or
'JRD' as he was commonly known, came to be regarded as the most famous industrial pioneer
in modern India.
After the death of his father Tata took his place as director of Tata Sons, the group’s
flagship company. In 1938, when Tata took charge as chairman of the Tata Group, he was, at
age 34, the youngest member of the Tata Sons board. J.R.D. Tata was a visionary far ahead of
his time. An industry leader with a deep commitment to India's development, his pioneering
efforts in combining nation-building with business growth were instrumental in conditioning
the thinking of Indian businesses. He was famous for succeeding in business while
maintaining high ethical standards - refusing to bribe politicians or use the black market.
Over the next half-century Tata strengthened existing businesses such as steel, power,
and hotels and drove the group to diversify its interests to include chemicals, automobiles,
pharmaceuticals, financial services, and information technology. When Air India was
nationalized in 1953, Tata was retained as chairman, a position that he held until 1978. In
1991 he stepped down from Tata Sons at age 87; the more than 80 companies
that constituted the Tata Group empire generated approximately $4 billion annually.
Under J R D's chairmanship, the number of companies in the Tata Group grew from 15 to
over 100. Assets of Tata group grew from Rs 620 Million to over Rs 100 Billion. JRD Tata
was one of the most enterprising Indian entrepreneurs.
JRD Tata received a number of awards, including the Padma Vibhushan (1957),
the Daniel Guggenheim Medal for aviation (1988), and the United Nations Population Award
(1992). In 1992 he received India’s highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna.
In this, JRD was a true leader. He headed the country's largest industrial empire
whose destiny he guided for over half a century. Under his leadership, the Tata group's assets
climbed from Rs 620 million in 1939 to over Rs 1,00,000 million in 1990. Over the years he
helped establish many new enterprises—the number of Tata ventures grew from 13 to around
80, encompassing software, steel, power generation, engineering and hotels, among others.
It is important that leaders fight for the right cause. JRD saw the country's developmental
process as an integral part of business growth. To quote his own words, "No success in
material terms is worthwhile unless it serves the needs or interests of the country and its
people".
He inspired the Tata group to become one of the most respectable and successful business
houses in the country.

Dhirubhai Ambani

Dhirubhai Ambani, in full Dhirajlal Hirachand Ambani, (born December 28, 1932,
Chorwad, gujarat, British India—died July 6, 2002, Mumbai, India), He matriculated from a
college in Gujarat’s Junagadh while staying at a hostel. In his early days, he dreamt of
owning a car or a jeep someday, but as fate would have it, ended up founding India’s most
profitable company and became one of richest persons in the country.
He Indian industrialist who was the founder of Reliance Industries, a giant petrochemicals,
communications, power, and textiles conglomerate that was the biggest exporter in India and
the first privately owned Indian company in the Fortune 500. At the age of 17, he migrated to
the British colony of Aden to join his brother. He started his career as a clerk at A. Besse &
Co., which in the 1950s was the largest transcontinental trading firm. There he learned
trading, accounting, and other business skills. In 1958 returned to Mumbai and started
Reliance Commercial Corporation with a total capital of Rs. 15,000 at an office in Bombay’s
Bharat Bazaar. He began by exporting spices to Aden, where he had developed a network
during his stint at A. Besse & Co and later branched out into imports of polyester yarn.
Ambani began a business trading in spices in the late 1950s, calling
his growing venture Reliance commercial corporation. He soon expanded into other
commodities, following a strategy of offering higher-quality products and accepting smaller
profits than his competitors. His business grew quickly. After deciding that the corporation
had gone as far as it could with commodities, Ambani turned his attention
to synthetic textiles. He made his first venture into backward addition with the opening of the
first Reliance textile mill in 1966. Continuing a policy of backward integration and
diversification, he gradually shaped Reliance into a petrochemicals and later added plastics
and power generation to the company’s businesses.

However, Ambani’s business of importing rayon and nylon yarns and fabrics made a lot of
money in 1970s. In 1977, when banks refused to finance him, Ambani went public with
Reliance Industries, and the rest is history.
In 2000, Reliance commissioned the world's largest grassroots refinery in a record 36
months: the Jamnagar petrochemicals and integrated refinery complex. The
company entered the Infocomm business and brought about a revolution in mobile telephony
in India. In 2005, Reliance made a strategic decision to reorganise its businesses through a
demerger. Power generation and distribution, financial services and telecommunication
services are demerged into separate entities.
Ambani was credited with introducing the stock market to the average investor in India, and
thousands attended the Reliance annual general meetings, which were sometimes held in a
sports stadium, with many more watching on television.

Ambani handed over the day-to-day running of the company to his sons, Mukesh and Anil, in
the mid-1980s but continued to oversee the company until shortly before his death in 2002.
When he breathed his last in 2002, Dhirubhai Ambani he was ranked by Forbes as the
world’s 138th-richest person, with an estimated net worth of $2.9 billion.

Aditya Birla
The grandson of the legendary G.D. Birla, Aditya Vikram Birla was one of the most
inspirational and outstanding industrialists that India has ever had. His innovative ideas and
marvelous abilities helped India to expand trade to foreign countries, thereby leaving an
landmark on the corporate landscape. He was one of the first Indian industrialists to set up the
largest multinational empire, thereby creating India’s first truly global corporation. Apart
from carrying forward his grandfather’s legacy, he introduced the concept of “sustainable
(maintaining) livelihood”, wherein he taught people to work and feed themselves and their
families for lifetime rather than simply living on the food given. With this, he not only gained
name and fame amongst the masses but also set an example for other businessmen to learn
from him. With his magnificent and phenomenal efforts to develop his business across India
and overseas, he became the new face of Indian business - professional, modern, and forward
looking.

After Aditya completed his degree course in chemical engineering, he returned to India and
was handed over a part of Birla Company to run. Not to be satisfied with just that, he started
his own textile business with Eastern Spinning Mills that became an instant hit in Kolkata.
With this, he put the company’s sinking rayon and textile business back on track. This was,
however, just the beginning as he showed immense interest and paved the group towards
success with every assignment handed over. Aditya’s next challenge was the expansion of the
group’s oil sector which again was a victorious attempt. However, with Indira Gandhi’s
socialist ideas of preventing foreign trade, importing world-class technology, and expansion
of old plants, Aditya concentrated on Indian rayon with accepting bigger challenges of taking
it worldwide. Instead of moving towards the West, Aditya focused on the east and set up
Indo-Thai Synthetics Company Ltd. in Thailand in 1969, thereby launching the group’s first
overseas company.

After the flying success of Indo-Thai Synthetics Company Ltd., Aditya established P.T.
Elegant Textiles for manufacturing spun yarn in Indonesia in 1973. This was the company’s
first project there. In 1974, he incorporated the group’s Viscose Rayon Staple Fiber as Thai
Rayon in Thailand. In the following year in 1975, the first Indo-Filipino joint venture
producing spun yarn was established with The Indo Phil Group of Companies in The
Philippines. Over the next few years, Aditya launched several more companies and joint
ventures throughout the Southeast. He established Pan Century Edible Oils in Malaysia in
1977, which later became the world’s largest single-location palm oil refinery. In 1978, he
launched the group’s first carbon black company, Thai Carbon Black in Thailand and in
1982, P.T. Indo Bharat Rayon in Indonesia. These were just some efforts that transformed the
Birla Group into a blooming blue-chip company and one of India’s largest business
conglomerates. Aditya, himself became one of India’s foremost businessmen. With immense
profits from overseas joint industrial ventures, Birla Group became the largest multinational
company set up by a resident Indian industrialist. By the 1980s, Aditya had established 19
companies in South and Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

Contribution to India
It was under the dynamic and influential leadership of Aditya Birla that the company
was able to intensify and firm its presence in the core sectors. Even before the word
globalization was included in India’s dictionary, Aditya set up a global business empire,
thereby placing India on the world map in 1969. Under his guidance, the companies were
making immense profits in key sectors of textiles, cement, aluminium, chemicals, fertilizers,
fibre, financial services, sponge iron, software, and petro-refinery. Aditya is said to be highly
responsible for building and improving the country’s commodity business. With the
marvellous success of his Grasim, Hindalco, Indian Rayon, and Indo Gulf Fertilizers, he
helped several companies prosper.

Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw
Indian businesswoman
Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, née Kiran Mazumdar, (born March 23,
1953, Banglore, Mysore state (now Bengaluru, Karnataka state), India), Indian
businesswoman who, as chairman and managing director (1978– ) of Biocon India Group, led
a pioneering enterprise that utilized India’s home grown scientific talent to make
breakthroughs in clinical research.

The daughter of a brew master for India-based United Breweries, Mazumdar-Shaw originally
planned to follow in her father’s footsteps. She earned an undergraduate degree in zoology
from Bangalore University in 1973 and a graduate degree in brewing from the University of
Ballarat, Melbourne, in 1975. Upon returning to India, however, she found no companies
willing to offer a brewing job to a woman. Instead, she did consulting work for a few years
before meeting Leslie Auchincloss, then owner of an Irish firm, Biocon Biochemicals.
Impressed by Mazumdar-Shaw’s drive and ambition, Auchincloss took her on as a partner in
a new venture, Biocon India, which was launched in 1978 and produced enzymes(chemical/
protein/bacteria/) for alcoholic beverages, paper, and other products.

Within a year Biocon had become the first Indian company to export enzymes to the United
states and Europe, but progress was slowed as Mazumdar-Shaw continued to
face discrimination. She found it difficult to find employees in India who were willing to
work for a woman. Investors were equally hard to come by, and some vendors refused to do
business with her unless she hired a male manager. Nevertheless, the company had begun to
turn a profit by the time Auchincloss sold his interest in Biocon India to Unilever in
1989. Imperial Chemical Industries bought Unilever’s stake in 1997 but eventually agreed to
sell its shares to Mazumdar-Shaw’s husband, textile executive John Shaw, who subsequently
joined Biocon’s management team.

In 2001 Biocon became the first Indian company to gain the approval of the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) for the manufacture of a cholesterol-lowering molecule. The
company subsequently expanded exponentially. Profits jumped more than 42 percent in 2003
alone. After a wildly successful initial public stock offering the following year, Biocon’s
stock-market value skyrocketed, and Mazumdar-Shaw, with a nearly 40 percent stake in the
company, became the richest woman in India. Over the following years, Biocon continued its
trailblazing work, with the testing and development of the world’s first orally
consumed insulin product among its most notable undertakings.

Meanwhile, Mazumdar-Shaw became the recipient of numerous awards. The World


Economic Forum (an international conference for the discussion of world economic, political,
and social development) recognized her as a “Technology Pioneer” in 2000, and Ernst &
Young named her best entrepreneur in the field of health care and life sciences in 2002. She
was honoured as the businesswoman of the year by the Economic Times in 2004. In 2005
Mazumdar-Shaw also received the Padma Bhushan award, one of India’s highest civilian
honours, for her pioneering work in industrial biotechnology.

to-door. He ran his company all by himself. At just the price of Rs. 3 per kg, his business
became an instant success. Soon, he named the company Nirma, after his daughter. He did all
of this as a side hustle while working at his day job. Finally, Karsanbhai quit his job after
three years and decided to focus on his business full-time. He set up his own detergent shop
in an Ahmedabad suburb.

Nirma’s success

Lessons we can learn


From manufacturing his own detergent and selling them door-to-door to building an empire
all by himself. Karsanbhai Patel’s success story is an inspiring one. When he quit his job to
focus on his detergent business, Karsanbhai said, “The lack of any such precedent in my
family made the venture fraught with failure. The farmers from North Gujarat are known for
their spirit of enterprise.” Karsanbhai is a true example of a self-made billionaire.

With hard work and passion to succeed, we can achieve anything. Karsanbhai was
determined to succeed and did everything he could. Passion powers the hard work,
determination, and creativity that make great accomplishments possible. There is no shortcut
to success. Hard work is the only key to achieving it. It teaches us discipline, dedication, and
determination.

Someone once said that business is in any Gujarati's blood, and this saying has been proven
to be true many times. What's commendable is their willingness take on any kind of small job
to make things happen even if it means going door-to-door selling their products.
Karsanbhai Patel is one such example from Gujarat. He quit his full-time government job to
follow his dream. He is said to have gone door-to-door selling detergent on his bicycle
thereby turning the company into a formidable group. Today, he is one of the richest
businessmen from Gujarat with a net worth of $4.1 billion, according to Forbes.

Almost everyone who's spent their time on the TV screen in the ’90s can't ever forget the
lyrics and catchy jingle young girl in a spotless white frock in a Nirma commercial
advertisement. But most of us didn’t know the real reason for set up one of the most popular
detergent brands in India and a man who nurtured this brand like a daughter. Here’s all you
need to know about Karsanbhai Patel and the reason he set up the Nirma brand.

In 1945, Karsanbhai Patel was born to a farmer’s family in Ruppur, Gujarat and By the age of
21, he graduated in Chemistry. After graduation, Karsanbhai tried to do a regular job like his
peers. Karsanbhai also worked as a lab technician in the New Cotton Mills belonging to the
Lalbhai Group. Following this brief stint, he even took up a job at the Geology and Mining
Department of the Gujarat government.

How did Karsanbhai Patel invent Nirma detergent?


The year 1969 was a turning point in Karsanbhai's career, when a small farmer son and a
qualified Science graduate, Karsanbhai Patel, was trying to mix Soda Ash and few
ingredients to make detergent produce. One fine day, he got the formula right and it was then
that he started producing detergents in the 100sq ft backyard of his home as an after office
business.
The accident that changed his life
Everything was going well in Karsan Bhai's life, but when Karsanbhai lost his daughter in a
car accident his life almost changed. Instead of mourning, he found out a way to bring his
daughter back to life. Only a few people knew of his daughter when she was alive, but it was
this man’s sheer determination and willpower that made his daughter famous throughout the
country, even though she was no more.
A journey from 100sq ft backyard to every middle-class house
A one-man company, Karsanbhai would cycle through the neighborhoods selling handmade
detergent packets door to door at a price of Rs 3 per kg, (one-third the price of leading
detergent brands) and it was his instant success Mantra. Karsanbhai branded his detergent
soap, Nirma, after the name of his daughter. The good quality and low price of the detergent
made a remarkable journey from Karsanbhai 100sq ft backyard to the middle-class house in
India for a great value. Fuelled by housewife-friendly advertisement jingles, Nirma
revolutionized the detergent market, creating an entirely new segment in the market for
detergent powder. At the time, detergent and soap manufacture was dominated by
multinational corporations with products like Surf by Hindustan Lever, priced around Rs. 13
per kg.
Nirma University

In 1995, Karsanbhai Patel gave a different identity to Nirma when he founded the Nirma
Institute of Technology in Ahmedabad. Thereafter, in April 2003, Nirma University was
established by the first three institutions, under a special act passed by the Gujarat State
Legislative Assembly.
