Following the footprints of his great father, Mr. Modi has come a long way on the path of success. He not only inherited his father’s business but also his habits which help him in being a leader who knows the outcomes of his actions. One of those habits is reviewing the profits and losses of his business personally. It is not wrong to say that the biggest source of inspiration for this business tycoon is none other than his own visionary father. It was his father whose life encouraged Mr. Modi to achieve a greater goal by implementing discipline & extraordinary management strategies in making accurate and clairvoyant decisions.

The journey that began with a single Modi Sugar Mills turned into a diversified group and has left its footprints not only in the nation but also at the international level.
