Building Industries & Stories | Co-Founder & CEO, Sahajanand Industries Limited | Filmmaker | Amdavaad Pictures | Investor

Some people build factories. Some build stories.
I’ve spent my life building both.

I am the Co-Founder & CEO of Sahajanand Industries Limited, where over the last 11+ years I’ve helped transform a modest beginning into a diversified group of seven companies, supplying chemical and ceramic products across India and global markets.

From expanding manufacturing capacity to leading purchase, production, sales, and marketing teams, my journey has been driven by one belief:
growth is not just about numbers — it’s about people, trust, and long-term impact.

Beyond industry, storytelling is my other calling.

In 2017, I founded Amdavaad Pictures, a film production house dedicated to meaningful cinema. Since then, we’ve produced four feature films and several short films in Hindi, Gujarati, and Marathi, earning both critical and commercial recognition. More importantly, Amdavaad Pictures has become a launchpad for new creative voices who dare to dream differently.

My academic journey — from Middlesex University (UK) to IIM Kozhikode — shaped my belief that leadership is a balance of logic and empathy, strategy and soul.

Outside work, I find joy in reading, music, automobiles, and social service — reminders that leadership is also about curiosity, humility, and giving back.

Whether building industries or producing cinema, my mission remains the same:
to create with purpose, lead with heart, and leave behind stories worth remembering.
