Mr. Ghanshyam Sarda, the chairman of Sarda Group, is one of the greatest Jute manufacturers and employers with a total of over 70,000 workers in West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar.

Career Path

When large business houses were abandoning the Jute industry due to extensive labor militancy, Mr. Ghanshyam Sarda anticipated a bright future for the eco-friendly, biodegradable material. He put in all his power to revive the jute mills, providing the much-required employment to Bengal's workforce, and reviving the dying industry.

Mr. Ghanshyam Sarda’s approach towards motivating the men working at the sick units was unique. He succeeded in reviving the ill companies across several sectors, from tea gardens to chemical industries and IT units.

He believed that knowledge is not power. It is only potential power. It begins transforming itself into actual power the moment you decisively act on it. Another mantra that he lived by is never allowing fear and doubt to short circuit your mind.

Alwar Jute Mill, Vision Comptech, Axsys Technologies, Agarpara Jute Mill are some that come under the Sarda Group. They also have a charitable trust called Chandrakala Devi Trust.
