Born in the sacred city of Allahabad, at the confluence of the holy rivers Ganga,Yamuna and Saraswati, Vinkesh attributes his personal and professional growth to his hometown. “There is a sense of candor and humility that a small town instils in you and these qualities have helped me in my professional and personal life.” A post-graduate in Commerce and Law, Vinkesh joined the business at an early age of 18, which helped him understand its underpinnings. He feels fortunate to have married his soulmate and source of strength, Mrs. Pooja Gulati. Vinkesh’s grandfather Late Shri Shiv Ram Das Gulati, who left Pakistannduring the Partition and settled in Allahabad, lived by a set of rules which became the guiding principles of his life. Talking about the inspiring role of his grandfather, Vinkesh says, “His focus on efficiently managing business in a financially astute way and giving back to the community has helped me become the person I am today.”

across 4 cities,” said Vinkesh. He believes that honesty and integrity are extremely important principles that one must follow in life. He always strives to keep his employees motivated and in high spirits through his emphasis on collaboration and team-work.
