Prateek Gupta – Managing Director

Mr. Prateek Gupta’s business acumen can be judged from a simple but whooping statistic - between 1997 and 2008, the time during which he led the change in Ushdev’s business model, the company has grown 175 times.

Despite being a third generation businessman in Ushdev, he began his career  with the company in 1996 as a trainee, moving positions, doing everything that was required and more while learning the business bottoms-up.

In 1997 he became a key member in completing a wind power project of 11 wind mills in Tamil Nadu in record time of 67 days.

In 1997 itself Prateek took over as the Vice President of the company, under a carefully laid out succession plan. However, plunging straight into improving processes and expanding capacity, he had to prove that he has more than the genes he has inherited. His analytical plans, coupled with his grass-root experience of the business, have seen the business shoot up exponentially during his tenure.
In 2008, having proved his worth, he took over as the Managing Director of Ushdev International Limited. His expertise has seen Ushdev International Ltd. being included in the prestigious list of Forbes Asia as the best under A billion dollar company. 

Besides numerous feathers in his cap, this 32 year-old MBA Finance has also been honoured by the Bombay Chamber of Commerce and Industry as the co-chairman of their high profile Power and Energy Conversation Committee in 2005.

Yet, not the one to rest on his laurels, Mr. Prateek says, "My goal is to make Ushdev number one company in the world." Going by his past achievements, this by no stretch of imagination seems like a far-fetching goal, or even a distant dream.
