MR. RATAN KEDIA
CHAIRMAN, RNK AGRO & CHEMICALS PVT. LTD.
A man of great vision who chose not to exist as a mere mortal, nor as a pampered child of his father, nor did he chose to progress in family business instead he chose his own path, charted his own career and made sure to reach the pinnacle of success by running the ladder rather than push forward step by step. In short, a very dynamic yet amenable, a simple and pleasant personality is best description of Mr. Ratan Kedia. He firmly believed in the saying “Ambition is what drives you to reach for the things in life that are important to you. If it is your career, the life you live, or your family - the ambition to have the things you want will push you to succeed”. He had the ambition to spread his family name worldwide and did not stop till he achieved the desired goal, a life time accomplishment.
Mr. Ratan Kedia is Chairman of Kedia Fan group of industries that is best known for more than 3 decades by its brand KEDIA FAN. He launched Kedia Electricals Ltd from Balanagar in the year 1980 as a stepping stone towards his ultimate goal. The family name Kedia became a household name and the measure of his popularity for tested first time during launch of Public issue in 1984. The overwhelming response was the testimony of his success that spurned him to move further up the ladder and made his seek wider markets away from India. The undying efforts towards attainment of single minded pursuit paved rich dividends when the KEDIA fan became the largest exported single brand of ceiling fans from India in over 45 countries.
