Has been and will continue to make an impact on people, country and planet
Mumbai, 7 May, 2015:
Godrej Group, shaping the future since 1897, today reiterated the
commitment to making an impact on people, country and planet on the
occasion of its 118th birth anniversary. Since 7th
May 1897, Godrej has been instrumental in making lives brighter through
a series of inventions that have combined pioneering science and
engineering with a larger social purpose. Today 600 million Indians use
some Godrej product. What started with just locks is today one of
India’s most trusted and loved brands spanning Animal feeds to
Aerospace. In 2015, Godrej is harnessing newer technologies and a world
class design led approach to create matchless experiences for the
discerning new age customers.
On
this occasion, Adi Godrej, Chairman, Godrej Group said, “Godrej has had
a tremendous journey since 1897. Our founder, Mr. Ardeshir Godrej,
started the Group making locks. However, his primary intent, in the
words of our current Prime Minister, was ‘Make in India’. Since then
there have been a lot of innovative endeavours in the Group. The three
innovations that I am most proud of are the making of one of the
earliest soap in the world from vegetable oils, supplying to the Indian
nuclear program and the cryogenic engine to the Indian space program
which eventually propelled the recent Mars mission – Mangalyaan and the
very recent innovation of Good Knight Fast Card which is an affordable
(Rs. 1), easy to use, and popular, mosquito repellent which I think will
help control Malaria and Dengue over the years to come. On the birthday
of the Group, we dedicate ourselves to continuing this journey of
innovation and manufacturing excellence.”
Tanya
Dubash, Chief Brand Officer, Godrej Group said, “The Godrej Group is
proud of the pioneering and innovative spirit that has shaped our
journey and driven us to strive to be ever brighter in all that we do.
On our 118th anniversary, we reiterate our promise of innovating
relentlessly in every sphere that we operate, to re-enforce the trust
placed in us and to make the lives of 600 million people that we touch
even brighter.”
Nadir
Godrej, Managing Director, Godrej Industries and Chairman, Godrej
Agrovet said, “the Godrej family feels that everything we do should have
a purpose, it should help the nation, it should help society at large
as well as help to save the planet. We have often looked beyond
financial objectives and looked at our business with a larger purpose.
On this birthday of Godrej I wish the Group and its extended family much
success in coming years in fulfilling its objectives.”
Navroze
Godrej, Executive Director, Strategy and Innovation, Godrej & Boyce
said, “happy birthday Godrej Group and its family. We have great dreams
and aspirations for you. Godrej has grown on a very long tradition of
quality in everything we do whether it is in our businesses or its
contribution back to our society. We cement that tradition today with
our businesses and with the products that we make.”
Shireesh
Joshi, Head, Strategic Marketing, Godrej Group, said, “We are
celebrating 118 years of innovation across diverse verticals of consumer
goods, durables, real estate, agriculture products, chemicals,
aerospace, manufacturing and retail. We now have the next generation of
products that redefine many of our categories like NXW refigerators,
Good Knight Fast Card, I-sense biometric mortise lock just to name a
few. Our inspiration and purpose emanates from the same source: the 600
million and growing family of Godrej consumers and their future
aspirations.”
He
further adds, “We believe that our credo of “brighter living” gets
manifested in the best possible way when we attempt to shape the future
of a new age India, just the way our founders started the trend way back
in 1897. For example Godrej Natures Basket:
the only World Gourmet chain in India, serves a growing segment of
authentic international food lovers through its online, offline, and
mobile interfaces.”
About Godrej Group
Established
in 1897, the Godrej Group has its roots in India's Swadeshi movement.
Our founder, Ardeshir Godrej, lawyer-turned-serial entrepreneur failed
with a few businesses, before he struck gold with the locks business
that you know today. One of India’s most trusted brands, with revenues
of USD 4.1 billion, Godrej enjoys the patronage of over 600 million
Indians across our consumer goods, real estate, appliances, agri and
many other businesses. You think of Godrej as such an integral part of
India that you may be surprised to know that over 25 per cent of our
business is done overseas.
