Shri Sudhir U Mehta
Shri Sudhir U Mehta - Chairman,
[Torrent Group]

Shri Sudhir Mehta joined the family business in the early 70s, extending his firm support during the setting-up of the business. His dynamism and business acumen reinforced with his father’s experience resulted into the initial success of Torrent Pharma

Born in 1954, Mr. Sudhir Mehta formally joined the family business in the early 70s. Known to possess a pro-active and aggressive approach to business, he had been a firm pillar of support for Shri UN Mehta at crucial junctures during the setting-up of the business.

With his own brand of dynamism, backed by the experience of his father aiding him, Shri Sudhir Mehta consolidated on the initial success of Torrent Pharma, the flagship company of the Torrent Group, and laid emphasis on exports. In recognition of its superior performance, Torrent Pharma received the President’s award for highest pharmaceuticals exports of Rs. 1570 million in 1991-92.

After the demise of his father, late Shri UN Mehta, he gracefully took upon himself the responsibility of nurturing the saplings of business initiatives sown by his father.
Shri Mehta initiated the diversification of the Torrent Group into the power sector single-handedly. With his business acumen and foresight, the group grew by leaps and bounds in the power sector after acquiring the ailing Mahendra Cables, now known as Torrent Cables Ltd., followed by acquisition of stakes in The Ahmedabad Electricity Company and The Surat Electricity Company. The Group is currently engaged in realizing its ambitious plan of establishing a greenfield project of power generation in Surat, which is one of its kind in the country.

He took office as the Chairman of the Torrent conglomerate since April 1998 and has put in concerted efforts for the development and growth of the Torrent Group. As the Chairman of the Group, Shri Sudhir Mehta has taken calculated risks that have, time and again, borne rewards for the Group.

He is on board of Torrent Power Generation Ltd., Torrent Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Torrent Power SEC Ltd, Torrent Power AEC Ltd., Torrent Private Ltd., and The Sandesh Ltd.

Born in 1963, Shri Samir Mehta began his illustrious career alongside his brother to contribute to the development of the organization, already looking promising, at the young age of 22. He brought with him not only the genius and acumen of a trained businessman but also provided a youthful and exuberant attitude to the organization’s functioning.

He took over the management of the pharma business of the group, which was concentrating particularly in psychotropic drugs manufactured in their own plant at Vatva and with a clear focus on exports. Apart from overseeing the improvement in operations and manufacturing facilities, he also focused on changes through innovative ideas in the areas of HR, finance and general management.

Under his stewardship, Torrent Pharma saw the setting-up of a state-of-the-art Research & Development Center, creation of an enviable marketing and sales team, and a second manufacturing plant at Baddi, Himachal Pradesh. Torrent Pharma also restructured its marketing functions and added a fifth marketing division recently to provide a clear focus to each of the therapeutic areas it performs in.
With his zeal to spread the wings of Torrent Pharmaceuticals overseas, the Company has entered into the international markets, and is a leading exporter of healthcare products in the country.
