Inspirational Stories: Rising Above Poverty! The Remarkable Path of THIS Businessman's Expansion into Renewable Energy is unbelievable

Inspirational Stories: One little-known aspect of success is the importance of failure. While achieving goals and receiving the desired outcomes are typically associated with success, the road to success can also be significantly impacted by failure. Failure also includes the challenges you face getting there, not just the falling. One such role model is Dr. Faruk Gulam Patel, chairman and managing director of the KP Group.

Dr. Faruk Gulam Patel's Early Life and Education

Dr. Faruk Gulam Patel is a native of Saladara Village in the city of Bharuch and was born on March 24, 1972. His parents, Gulam Patel and Rashidaben, raised him in a basic house. Dr. Patel's father supported this lower-middle class family by working as a bus conductor for the Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation (GSRTC). After receiving his elementary education at Surat Municipal Corporation School in Kanbiwad Bhandri Moholla, Dr. Faruk Gulam Patel later transferred to VD Desai Vadiwala School, also known as Bhulka Bhavan, on the advice of his teacher Shantaben. Dr. Faruk Gulam Patel, who had lived in poverty before, moved to Mumbai in order to provide for his family. He began studying import-export trade while concurrently earning a living as an optician. He eventually visited the Manmade Textile Research Association in 1990 to obtain knowledge.

Dr. Faruk Gulam Patel's Journey of Expansion and Success

Then, in 1991, he boarded an aircraft for England in order to start working in a café to support his family. After spending two years overseas, he came back to Surat in 1993 and started a carting business right away. But because he was an ambitious man with a bigger objective, he started KP Group in 1994 with a capital of Rs 1 lakh. At that point, Dr. Patel's journey had a turning point. In 2001, he founded KP Buildcon Pvt. Ltd., which launched his career in the telecommunications industry. Realising the value of communication and the growing demand for communication towers, he made the intentional decision to strategically expand his company across 16 Indian states. Years of success led him to expand his creative thinking and, realising the need for expansion, he entered the renewable energy sector. He founded KPI Green Energy in 2008 to break into the solar energy sector. After that, in 2010, he founded KP Energy with a focus on wind energy projects, further expanding his portfolio. He first purchased 220 acres of land in Sudi, Bharuch, where a Solar Park would be constructed, in order to get his solar energy ambitions forward. With time, his desire grew, and today the company owns more than 1500 acres of land, Gujarat's largest private solar park, and a portfolio of more than 2 GW of renewable energy. The KP Group currently controls a commercial empire worth more than Rs 2,000 crore in India.
