Bipin Hadvani is the founder, chairman, and managing director of Gopal Snacks Limited. His hard work and perseverance have led to his success despite multiple setbacks.
Bipin's father had a small shop where he would make namkeens and sell them on a bicycle. Bipin also used to help him after school and gained tons of experience from that.
Bipin decided to start his own snack company and in 1990 he co-founded a snack business from Rs 4,500 by his father. After 4 years of partnership, Bipin parted ways.
From the Rs 2.5 lakh from his previous business, he bought a house with his wife Daxa and started his own snack company named Gopal Snacks.
They started making traditional snacks at their home and Bipin would sell them in the streets of Rajkot and talk to investors and develop a solid understanding of the local market.
After witnessing success, Bipin took a loan and established a small factory in the city which later turned out to be his best investment leading to colossal growth of the company.
Bipin's hard work has paid off as his company is one of the largest manufacturers of traditional snacks in India and has a market evaluation of Rs 4096 crore.
