Mr Shrenik Kasturbhai, inaugurating on March 17, 2012, the Inspiring Centre that
depicts the life and times of our Founder, Mr Kasturbhai Lalbhai
Mr Shrenik Kasturbhai, after completing BS from Massachusetts
Institute of Technology and MBA from Harvard University, worked
as a Managing Director of Anil Starch Ltd and oversaw the finances
of Lalbhai Group. He supported our Founder in carrying out social
work that comprises several cultural, educational and religious
institutions and in the fullness of time led themwith distinction.
He was actively involved in promoting and later integrating Gujarat
Aromatics Ltd – now called Aromatics (AR) Business – with our
Company and took keen interest till the very end of his life in the
growth of AR Business and Atul. AR Business steadily improved its
performance and generated the highest revenue and the highest
profit in 2014-15 for our Company; this is our enduring tribute to his
faith, encouragement and support.
We have lost our patriarch, yet his body of work is sure to outlive
his physical life. He inherited an enriching legacy genetically,
imbibed the spirit, lived his life with exacting principles and
embellished the legacy of his father by mentoring the generation
next in the family, the organisations as well as the wider society.
In the years ahead, his life will continue to inspire us.
Mr Shrenik Kasturbhai
(December 28, 1925 to June 19, 2014)
