Curated By: Forbes India
Adi Godrej, Chairman, Godrej Group
Net worth: $12.4 bLN 2016 Forbes India Rich List RANK #7
This photograph of adi godrej was taken sometime during the late 1970s, and is symbolic of what the 119-year-old group and its chairman stand for—endurance and sustainability. In the photograph, Godrej, now 74 years old, is standing next to a manufacturing line of Cinthol soaps, one of the iconic products made by the consumer goods-to-real estate conglomerate. Cinthol, which was launched in 1952, is still available in the red packaging in which it was first sold.
A few other things have, however, changed for the group: The factory in which the photo was taken, located in Mumbai’s eastern suburb of Vikhroli, does not exist any longer. It has been replaced by a swanky glass-and-steel building that serves as the group’s headquarters.
