Shri. Nandlal Madhavlal Dhoot, the founding father of the Videocon Group, was a man who was way ahead of his times. After completing his studies from Ahmednagar and Pune, he began a successful career as a sugarcane and cotton cultivator. In 1955, he boldly took upon an entrepreneurial venture by importing machinery from Europe to set up the Gangapur Sakhar Karkhana (Sugar Mill), unleashing an Industrial Revolution at a time when villages had no electricity.

Once the wheels were set in motion, there was no looking back. Over the years, Nandlalji's path-breaking ideas found expression in a myriad ways, earning him the well-deserved reputation of the pioneer of industrial activity in Marathwada India.

In the early 80s, Nandlalji initiated his three sons - Venugopal, Rajkumar and Pradipkumar - into the business. In collaboration with Toshiba Corporation of Japan, he launched India's first world-class color television: Videocon. Today, Videocon is a household name across the nation. Videocon is one of the leading brand in Consumer Electronics & Home Appliances in India and is trusted and chosen by over 50 million people for a better lifestyle.

At Videocon, all our efforts are centered around the customer and his needs. We are committed to delight and deliver beyond what is expected. By focusing on the right means, we have been successful in building a robust and dependable Videocon Value Chain.

Ingenious Strategy

In today’s competitive world, what it takes for a business to survive is a lot of advance planning and a clear strategy. There is a strong need for bounded rationality, spontaneity and out-of-the-box thinking to tackle every scenario that could be imaginable or unthinkable. Now that’s something which cannot be found in a textbook. Videocon’s resourceful strategies are flexible enough to change with changing ground realities, and even change the rules of the game when needed.

Intrepid Entrepreneurship

An enterprise with odds stacked against it makes a great business sense. This is because higher the obstacles lower the number of players likely to be active in that field; thus paving the way for extraordinary returns. What is required is a bold approach, a confidence and a willingness to brave the odds. Videocon’s foray into oil and gas is one such brave endeavor that arises from immense faith in the competence of the company’s in-house managerial talent.
