U N Mehta – Founder:

Mr. Uttambhai Nathalal Mehta,. words alone will not suffice to describe the Founder- Chairman of the Torrent Group, who was a great businessman, a philanthropist and above all, a noble human being. For this moving spirit behind the Rs.1,00,000 Crore of market cap of Torrent Group, the immense contribution to the corporate landscape of Gujarat was a culmination of years of grit, perseverance and hard work.

With his Gandhian approach to business management, he was a rare potent mix of empathy and benevolence that blurs the horizon between business and community service.

The journey of Mr. U. N. Mehta, from being a medical representative with Sandoz, back in the 1940s, to laying the foundation of a diversified conglomerate, is a long yet rewarding one. Understanding the pulse of the medical fraternity, he identified and realized the ways in which they could be served best. He pioneered the concept of niche marketing at a time when others focused on the masses.

Despite the initial failures and setbacks, he never let his morale down and persisted in his efforts. His philosophy in life was ‘It is pardonable to aim high and miss, but it is not pardonable to aim low.’

Mr. U. N. Mehta was one of those rare corporate leaders in Gujarat, who also understood the importance of having a good interface between business and community service. Perhaps that explains Mr. Mehta’s endeavours to establish and maintain robust relationship with the society.

Group Overview:

The Torrent Group, founded by Late Mr. U.N. Mehta in 1959 and currently lead by Mr. Sudhir Mehta and Mr. Samir Mehta, is a driving force dedicated to transforming life.

It was four decades ago that Mr. U.N. Mehta embarked on a journey called Torrent for a simple cause and a unique sense of purpose - ‘Happiness for All’. A medical representative with an exemplary vision, he ventured out on his own by making niche marketing as his core competency. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Torrent lives up to the literal meaning- ‘Rushing Stream’, especially in the way it conceives products and services, which transform life. Over the years, the Torrent Group has remained focused on Healthcare and Power - two crucial sectors without which modern life is unimaginable. The Torrent Group today is not just spreading care, hope and happiness across the world, it is also empowering the people and lighting up their lives. Torrent Group has also forayed into City Gas Distribution business to meet another critical need – Green Fuel – in different parts of India.

The Group’s governance philosophy has always emphasized people and society over everything else, more particularly in times of distress and stands committed to doing all that it can during the time of national crisis. Torrent Group supported about to Rs. 100 crores by strengthening the Government’s efforts to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and its fallout on poorer sections of our society. This contribution was made to the PM-CARES Fund and for various initiatives such as providing essential medicines to various Govt. hospitals free of cost, contributions to State Government relief funds, contributions to NGOs doing grassroots work to address the issues arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, provision of PPEs to healthcare workers and our own direct efforts to contain the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the vulnerable sections of society.

Be it finding a cure for fatal diseases or ambitious power generation projects; or setting new standards in transmission and distribution; breakthrough pharma discoveries or 24X7 customer care initiatives - Torrent has a strong infrastructure in place to ensure that we are always at the centre of the movement towards a better life.

Core Values

These strong pillars, the Core Values, which Torrent believes in and constantly strives to build, are: Integrity, Passion for Excellence, Participative Decision Making, Concern for Society & Environment, Fairness with Care and Transparency.

Each of these Timeless Values, a Pillar of Strength, ENSURES OUR LONGEVITY.

INTEGRITY

When truth is paramount

Thoughts and actions entail doing the right thing at all times and in all circumstances; whether or not anyone is watching. This requires inner courage and conviction, no matter what the consequences are. It is honouring one’s commitments and being accountable for one’s actions, end-to-end.

PASSION FOR EXCELLENCE

When best is not enough

Passion for excellence means not doing extra-ordinary things, but doing ordinary things in all pursuits exceedingly well. Passion and excellence are forces that fuel each other on the exclusive path to leadership. As we are what we repeatedly do, excellence then is not an act, but a habit.

PARTICIPATIVE DECISION MAKING

Involvement that engenders effectiveness

An ideal organisation facilitates participation and involvement of each of its members in various decision making processes, thus ensuring their commitment to such decisions as well as its outcome. It provides a platform for seeking and nurturing constructive ideas from individuals, teams and units which eventually yields exceptional results.

CONCERN FOR SOCIETY & ENVIRONMENT

When every smile matters

Concern for Society & Environment is a sense of responsibility and contribution to society that defines our existence. It entails making a difference in the quality of lives and environment surrounding us. It is important to encourage fellow-members on collective as well as individual basis to fulfil the responsibility of leaving behind a world rich in flora and fauna and rich in time tested values and ideals and above all rich in social fervour for our future generations.

FAIRNESS WITH CARE

Harnessing equality

Fairness and Care towards all fellow members are inextricably linked. Weaving the threads of equality, irrespective of caste, creed, religion and gender, into the day to day fabric, ensures fairness for each and every individual. Empathic care recognises needs and aspirations of all. Only such fairness and care eventually lead fellow members to the dawn of eternal success.

TRANSPARENCY

Openness that builds enduring trust

Transparency implies openness. It is the opposite of secrecy. It encourages more informed decision making and aids in creating enduring trust among all stakeholders.
