1.1 BRIEF HISTORY OF AMBUJA
NEOTIA
The Neotia family has been an integral part of the business scene in
Kolkata for nearly 120 years. Originating from Rajasthan, their
forefathers settled in the city some time in 1890s being attracted to
the opportunities for enterprise that the city offered. Since then
Kolkata has been their home and subsequent generations have been
born and brought up here.
Patriarchs of the Ambuja Neotia Group, Late Shri Suresh Neotia and
Late Shri Vinod Neotia started their entrepreneurial career in the
mid-1950s. Their eldest brother Shri Bimal Kumar Poddar was
adopted by their maternal grandfather Shri Janki Prasad Poddar, a
partner of the celebrated firm "Tarachand Ghanshyamdas". This was
probably one of the first wholly Indian registered partnership firms
during the time of the British occupation of India. It was a trading
firm that had offices right from Karachi in Pakistan to Shanghai in
China. It began with interests in banking and insurance and later
diversified into distribution of petroleum products as a franchisee of
Burma Shell.
Following the sad demise of Shri Bimal Kumar Poddar in 1968, Late
Shri Suresh Neotia and Late Shri Vinod Neotia took charge of the
family business. Under their leadership "Radhakrishna Bimalkumar"
continued its expansion with major forays in trading operations of
Cement, Fertilizers and Petroleum products. Having grossed a
turnover of Rs.500 crores by the early 90's, it continues to maintain
a steady growth.
In late 90’s, Modi Cement, which had become sick was taken over
by GACL and Harshavardhan Neotia, son of Late Shri Vinod Neotia
and the only male heir of the family, was appointed as MD of the
newly formed "Ambuja Cement Eastern Limited". Continuing the
family tradition of excellence, he was able to execute a remarkable
turnaround transforming the erstwhile sick company into one of the
most profitable and efficient cement manufacturers in the country.
Late Shri Suresh Neotia had been associated with the promotion of
many cultural institutions like Anamika Kala Sangam and Padatik
and had served on the board of prestigious bodies of Government of
India, including Asiatic Society, National Culture Fund, Victoria
Memorial Trust, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad and is
currently the Director of Central Board of Reserve Bank of India. He
also served as the Chairman Emeritus of GACL.
Late Shri Vinod Neotia, with strong religious dispositions, was a
Trustee of Somnath Temple Trust and Kshetropasana Trust.
Surpluses of these trusts are used for the betterment of the poor and
the aged.
The family has also promoted a major cultural institute by the name
‘Jnana Pravaha’ at Varanasi where Smt Bimla Poddar is the
Managing Trustee and lives there to run the institute. The ‘Jnana
Pravaha’ houses a very impressive art collection of Indian antiquity
and also the library of Late Shri Suresh Neotia comprising rare and
priceless books on art and literature. The Institute is engaged in the
field of preservation and dissemination of Indian heritage and
culture. Late Shri Suresh Neotia (8 September 1936 - 7 May 2015)
was the Chairman and Shri Harshavardhan Neotia a Trustee of Jnana
Pravaha.
With City Centre Salt Lake, the mall concept was revolutionized. Leisure
destinations like The Fort Raichak and Ganga Kutir were created along the
river Ganges. The Group also forayed into healthcare with the setting up of
Bhagirathi Neotia Woman and Child Care Centre. Ecospace Business Park
was developed to give the city smarter, greener workspaces for better work-
life balance. The Conclave revolutionized the way business clubs were
perceived; it’s the first of its kind to blend fine dining, decor and
personalized service. With the vision of imparting education that
transforms students into leaders for a global society, the Group embarked
on a new journey with The Neotia University.
The Group continues to launch strings of projects across Real Estate,
Hospitality and Healthcare to add to the experiences and keep making a
difference to the way people live.
