- MITHUN K. CHITTILAPPILLY | MANAGING DIRECTOR, V-GUARD INDUSTRIES

What was the problem you were grappling with?

V-Guard was founded in 1977. By the 1990s, it had grown into a trusted brand in South India. In 2012, my father asked me to lead the company as managing director. As a young entrepreneur stepping into a legacy-rich organisation, I faced a human challenge. V-Guard was shaped by many employees who had dedicated decades to the company. But I knew that to take the company into its next phase of growth, we needed to attract and empower new talent.
