About Padmashri Kalpana Saroj

Kalpana Saroj's is a real-life story of determination, perseverance, bravery, tenacity and the indomitable courage of a lone woman fighter who rose from the lowest strata of life to capture the ivory towers. She is strong, resolute, tough, spirited and at the same time has a tender heart which instantly reaches out to help the needy. No doubt the icon that young ladies look forward to being, she was recently awarded the Rajiv Gandhi Award for Woman Entrepreneurs.

When the workers of Kamani Tubes Limited approached her for help the Company was registered as a sick industrial unit under SICA and was in the BIFR. The company had been lying closed for over 17 years and the rest is history. Braving heavy litigation Kalpana Saroj nursed the sick Kamani back to health. After Kalpana Saroj took over the management of Kamani, she paid the workers dues at the outset, and thereafter the dues of the secured creditors and other statutory dues.

The new factory of the company has since been inaugurated at Wada in Maharashtra at the hands of the Hon. Minister for Forest, Mr Babanrao Pachpute. To cut a long story short, when bigwigs failed to turn around a sick company, Kalpana Saroj simply succeeded!

Reach out to her.
