The visionary founder & philanthropist built the company from scratch. He took voluntary retirement from Goa Survey Dept and started his entrepreneurial journey from a small quarry operation in 1980. The company currently owns three licensed Basalt mines and manufacture stone aggregates & M-Sand in Goa, all extracted from their In-house quarries in Ibrampur, Goa employing over 200 people. He is a recognised figure in Goa business circle and seen as an authority in aggregate & M-Sand business. He was instrumental in survey mapping a large portion of Goa in early 1970s. Since government was looking for a site to build an airport he mooted the idea with then MLA of Pernem, Shri Devu Mandrekar for airport at Mopa, based on his experience as a surveyor and understanding the topography of the land . That vision has turned into a reality with the new International Airport being built in Mopa, which could bring large scale development resulting in employment and prosperity to locals in North Goa .
