Na Tham Na Ruk tu kar karam

Prateek Mathur, a member of our community, dedicates this beautiful self-composed poem to those who keep moving forward, even in troubled times: 
Their farsighted vision, unwavering determination, and persistent effort transformed the world in more ways than one. They are #TheChangemakers who revolutionized the business industry one step at a time.

This world MSME Day, we salute the strength and resilience of all enterprises and entrepreneurs who tirelessly work day-in and day-out, even when situations get rough and unmanageable.

The story of resilience!

In 1971, Deepak Shah was adorned with a major responsibility - to revive a company that had been drowning in debt. The travesty of the situation did not tremble his rock-solid determination. His vision, aspiration, and resilience led to Sulphur Mills Limited's upward growth. He not only managed to get the company out of debt, but also transformed it into the largest producer of Sulphur globally, with subsidiaries in Europe, Australia, Latin America, and Africa. The company is now a prominent exporter of agrochemicals for over 80 countries across the world. Shah's belief in being self-reliant aided the company to capture a roaring 3 billion dollar market share of global agrochemical export. His futuristic approach is reflected in his tech-driven business systems, which as leaders of innovation in the field, were the first to introduce fertis to crops.

Deepak Shah is one of the notable #TheChangemakers of India who had the courage and resilience to overtake a business that was submerging in its past karma. He revived a sinking boat and won the business race against all odds.
