A Man of ideas. A man of substance. A man of vision.
Shri Nandlal Madhavlal Dhoot, the founder of the Videocon group, completed
his education in Ahmednagar, Pune, and in Maharashtra, India. A successful
sugarcane and cotton grower, he boldly ventured forth and imported machinery
from Europe, setting up the Gangapur Sakhar Karkhana (Sugar Mill) in 1955,
at a time when the village had no electricity, thereby unleashing an industrial
revolution.
The die
was cast. Over the years, Nandlalji's pioneering spirit found expression
in a myriad ways, earning him the well-deserved reputation of the doyen of
industrial activity in Marathwada, India.
In early
80s, Nandlalji initiated his three sons - Venugopal, Rajkumar and Pradeep
into the business. Through a technical tie-up with Toshiba Corporation of
Japan, he launched India's first world -class Colour Television :
Videocon.
Today, Videocon
is a household name across the nation - India's No.1 brand of Consumer
Electronics and Home Appliances, trusted by over 50 million people to improve
their quality of life.
