Kesh King’s  Success Story – Dr. Sanjeev Juneja – For a first-generation entrepreneur, it didn’t take Juneja too long to make it big from the time the idea to launch a hair oil brand struck him.

In today’s world of high-flying ecommerce entrepreneurs running companies with multi-million dollar valuations, Mr. Juneja always thought of a company dedicated to herbal products developed by using innovative solutions. He started his career in 2008 and now successfully running two firms Divisa Herbal Care and SBS Biotech Unit II.

A 38-year-old, low-profile, first-generation businessman from Chandigarh who started off in a one-room office and went from shop to shop to sell his products is a bit of an oddity.

Meet Sanjeev Juneja, the man who was little known until he stole the headlines by selling a six-year-old hair care brand in one of the largest transactions in the country’s FMCG sector in recent history. Juneja sold Kesh King to Emami  for Rs 1,651 crore, a valuation that’s more than five times its annual sales.
The brand notched up Rs 300 crore in sales in 2014-15, expanding at a compounded annual growth rate of more than 60%. (more…)

Karsanbhai Patel

The ‘Nirma’ success story of how an Indian Entrepreneur took on the big MNCs and rewrote the rules of business :

It was in 1969 that Dr. Karsanbhai Patel started Nirma and went on to create a whole new segment in the Indian domestic detergent market. During that time the domestic detergent market only had the premium segment and there were very few companies , mainly the MNCs, which were into this business.

Karsanbhai Patel used to make detergent powder in the backyard of his house in Ahmedabad and then carry out door to door selling of his hand made product. He gave a money back guarantee with every pack that was sold. Karsanbhai Patel managed to offer his detergent powder for Rs. 3 per kg when the cheapest detergent at that time was Rs.13 per kg and so he was able to successfully target the middle and lower middle income segment.
