Origin:
The Godrej group has grown in India from the days of the
charkha to nights at the call centers. Our founder, Ardeshir Godrej,
lawyer-turned-locksmith, was a persistent inventor and a strong visionary who
could see the spark in the future. His inventions, manufactured by his brother
Pirojsha Godrej, were the foundation of today’s Godrej empire.
