The prestigious ‘Vastra Ratna’ Award for Special Achiever has been given to Rajinder Gupta, Chairman Emeritus of Trident Group, in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the textile sector. As the Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council (TEXPROCIL) commemorates its 70th anniversary, this honor recognizes exceptional exporters who have established top-tier textile businesses and elevated India’s profile internationally.
As a trailblazing businessman, Gupta has propelled Trident Group’s expansion into a multinational textile giant worth over $2 billion. His creation of the Takshashila Centre of Excellence, which offers training facilities and job possibilities to thousands of people, is a testament to his dedication to sustainability and generosity. His healthcare achievements also include the construction of the multispecialty Madhuban Hospital and the planning of giant medical camps, which have improved access to healthcare for a large number of people.
As the Chief Guest, the Hon’ble Minister for Textiles, Shri Giriraj Singh, awarded the “Vastra Ratna” Award. Roop Rashi Mahapatra, India’s Textile Commissioner, was also present.
Trident Group has taken a number of steps to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability. With biomass and solar power now making up 42% and 41 MWp of its energy, respectively, the company has set ambitious goals to source 50% of its energy from sustainable sources by 2025. Trident has also put strong water conservation measures in place, reclaiming more than 2,651 million gallons of effluent and recycling all of the water needed to produce towels and sheeting. Additionally, its Eco-Twist technology reduces environmental impact without sacrificing quality by providing a sustainable, environmentally friendly substitute for conventional towels.
This honor emphasizes Gupta’s vision and commitment to making a difference, as well as Trident’s leadership in incorporating sustainable practices into the textile sector.
