Rajinder Gupta Personal Details

Rajinder was born in Punjab, the son of a very small-time cotton dealer. Due to his unusual upbringing, he was forced to leave school at a young age of 14, when he was only in the ninth grade.

Rajinder Gupta's Starting Of Professional Career

Soon after, he started his career by working odd jobs like producing cement pipes and candles, among other things, for a pitiful salary of Rs 30 per day. In 1985, Rajinder made the decision to launch his own business after years of hard labour.

As a result of a series of events, he established Abhishek Industries, his first-ever fertiliser production facility, with an initial investment of INR 6.5 crores. First-generation self-made successful entrepreneur Rajinder was now being referred to as Punjab's Dhirubhai Ambani.

The company opted to incorporate itself in the state of Punjab on April 18, 1990, and Trident Limited was born as a result.

And shortly after that, the business made the historic decision to expand its offerings to include yarn, paper, and terry towels. Success and growth subsequently went hand in hand from this point forward! The series of events that occurred allows us to connect with clients who are dispersed over more than 75 countries and six continents.

With sales in the fiscal year 2012–13 of INR 3358 crores, or 530 million US dollars. Today, Trident Group has a $1 billion annual revenue and employs more than 10,000 direct and 20,000 indirect workers.
