 Shri Govindrao Beniram Thakur |
The origin of Thakur Savdekar & Co. Pvt. Ltd. goes back to the year 1930 in Pune. The visionaries of Thakur Savadekar Company: Shri Govindrao Beniram Thakur, Shri Narayan Beniram Thakur and Shri Kisanrao Beniram Savadekar, established the company with great values and a sharp vision with a single minded focus. In the initial stage they did not have enough funds at their disposal. They walked through the ‘Tendu’ leaf jungles for study and research. With sheer hard work and determination they overtook all obstacles. They had to do everything on their own right from manufacturing to marketing, distribution and sales. They even went to sell bidis on bicycles to nearby villages. They worked hard and gained popularity at the time when there was no advertising. The next generation: Shri. Jayantro Govindrao Thakur, Vasantrao (Tattya Saheeb) Govindrao Thakur and Shri Shashikumar(Rajabhau) Savadekar, joined them and led the business strongly. |
