The story of Vinod Saraf, the billionaire who built his chemical empire from the ground up
The businessman grew up in a modest merchant family. His parents’ income barely covered the needs of their seven children, but Vinod Saraf was also able to stand out thanks to his intellect. The prodigy finished high school with the best GPA in his state and, later, won a gold medal by graduating with honors from a master’s degree at BITS Pilani at the age of 19.
His GPA and academic achievements did not help him much at the beginning of his professional career because his Hindi language did not allow him to make his way among large international companies. His knowledge of the market and his sharp mind ended up attracting the attention of a local businessman to hire him in his textile company. This area marked Saraf’s work experience because he spent among the main positions in local companies.
The Indian managed to become the Managing Director of Mangalore Refinery & Petrochemicals Ltdwhere he ran one of the most important textile conglomerates in the country. But at 38 years old, at the age when many settle into top positions in companies, Saraf followed his dream of entrepreneurship and resigned from his positions.
Chemical production was a totally new field for Saraf and the lack of experience in it caused the Indian to suffer losses in his early years due to quality problems. The company went through irregular periods until Vinati Saraf Multreja joined the company. The founder’s daughter graduated from the American Wharton University. She brought her knowledge and a consultant to be able to remedy the crises at Vitani Organicsand be able to compete in the international market.
