  • Oldest Indian Businesses and Their Current Operations: Part I

    The concept of entrepreneurship in India can be traced to the early age of ancient Indian civilization. The Harappan civilization had established a commercial connection with the Mesopotamian society due to their trading culture of exchanging hand-crafted products like toys, pots, utensils, etc. This was known as the barter system, which was highly prevalent before money was invented.

    With the passage of time, business and commerce evolved and just prior to interaction with the Western world, Indians were organized in a specific form of economic and social organization that was known as a village or a community. It was the British who introduced the industry culture in India, mainly through establishing private sector industries. Many Indian entrepreneurs set up businesses during that time which remain successful even today, having traversed through the years and staying relevant through them.

    We, at StartupTalky, are bringing you a list of such business houses that have traveled through time and have consistently reinvented themselves over the years and are not only relevant today, but are providing tough competition to newer businesses.

    About Nusli Wadia

    Bombay Dyeing, a well-known Indian textile company, is led by Mr Nusli Wadia, who is also the majority stakeholder. The Indian Parsi businessman is the son of Neville and Dina Wadia and the grandson of Pakistan’s founder, Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The Wadia Group, which has significant real estate holdings across Mumbai, is valued at $4.1 billion and possesses one of the city’s largest land banks.

    Wadia, although being connected to Jinnah, had a complicated past. He was born a Christian but subsequently converted to Zoroastrianism to dwell among Mumbai’s industrially prosperous Parsi community. He has completed his PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Florida in the United States. Nusli was sent to a public school in England (Rugby) for his schooling, where he was a bit of a failure by all accounts.

    Nusli Wadia’s Sons

    Nusli’s sons are Ness and Jehangir Wadia. Ness Wadia oversees the IPL team Kings XI Punjab.

    Jeh Wadia founded GoAir (now GoFirst) in 2005, at a time when the market was dominated by Air India, Air Asia, SpiceJet, Kingfisher, and other major airlines.

    Jehangir Wadia - GoAir
    Jehangir Wadia

    Nonetheless, GoAir’s joint management team of Nusli and Jeh Wadia was able to establish a brand for the airline through low rates, effective operations, and smart development.

    How Nusli Wadia Kept Bombay Dyeing Afloat?

    When Neville Wadia tried to sell Bombay Dyeing to the Goenkas from Kolkata in 1971, Nusli stood in his way. To derail the purchase, he persuaded employees to acquire stock in the firm and keep it afloat. The textile behemoth was kept as a result of this action, and Nusli Wadia was able to demonstrate his commercial acumen by increasing the worth of the company. As a result, he became Chairman of Bombay Dyeing, succeeding his father.

    Mr Wadia has been Chairman of the Bombay Dyeing since 1977. He has been Chairman of the Board of Bombay Burmah Trading Corp. Ltd. since July 27, 1982, and a Director since October 28, 1980.

    He was a member of the Prime Minister’s Council on Trade and Industry in 1998, 1999, and 2000. He was the Convener of the Special Group Task Force on Food and Agro Industries Management Policy in September 1998.  He was a member of the Special Subject Group on Disinvestment and the Special Subject Group on Reviewing Regulations and Procedures to Unbind Indian Industry.

    The Wadias are one of India’s most prominent business dynasties. They have always prided themselves on doing business honestly, never paying bribes, and never dealing in black money.

    In the late 1970s, Bombay Dyeing was still India’s largest and best textile company. That wasn’t the one, though, that everyone was talking about. The ‘Polyester War,’ as the battle between Wadia and Ambani was dubbed, became part of corporate lore. It was a fight that included not only the two of them but also several politicians, including then-Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and his Finance Minister V P Singh, as well as two news organizations, the Indian Express and the Observer.

    For two years, Wadia was held in the courts. His passport was taken, and a deportation order was issued. Wadia was found not guilty after 42 court hearings and 2,500 pages of interrogation.

    For Mr Wadia, the 1990s were a pivotal decade. He was no longer a major source of concern for the Ambanis; they had simply outgrown him. Wadia needed to show that he knew how to operate a business.

    Nusli Wadia’s Long Awaited Dream of Taking Over Britannia

    Nusli had a long desire to engage in the biscuit sector and had agreed to take over Britannia in India with Huntley and Palmer. While Nusli met with Nabisco officials through his friend (and cashew firm partner), Rajan Pillai, and looked to have secured an agreement in which he would still be allowed to purchase Britannia, the Americans eventually changed their minds. Rajan Pillai was named chairman, and Britannia was maintained.

    Pillai teamed up with Danone, a French business, but the two swiftly fell out, with Danone accusing Pillai of being dishonest. Nusli came in as Danone’s new Indian partner to fill the vacancy.

    After a protracted judicial and public battle, Pillai was removed, and Wadia finally got his heart’s desire: The Control of Britannia. Mr Wadia has been named Non-Executive Chairman of the Board of Britannia Industries Limited. He joined Britannia Industries Limited’s board of directors on September 5, 1993, and has been Chairman since.

    How Nusli Wadia and Ratan Tata went from friends to foes

    Ratan Tata with Nusli Wadia
    Ratan Tata with Nusli Wadia

    Ratan Tata and Nusli Wadia have a personal connection that goes beyond business. Nusli served as a mentor for Ratan Tata in addition to being childhood pals. As a result, people were taken aback when they learned that Nusli had brought a defamation suit against the Tata Group and Ratan Tata.

    All of this began when Wadia chose Mistry over Tata for the position of Tata Group chairman. As a result, he was sacked as a Tata Motors independent director.

    He subsequently dropped the case, but only after receiving notification from India’s Supreme Court. He also gave up the Rs. 3000 crore he would have gotten if he had won by settling.

    Conclusion
