Neetish Sarda Father, The Story Behind Success

Neetish Sarda Father, The Story Behind Success

Mr Neetish Sarda, the founder, and CEO of Smartworks is the market leader in India for coworking spaces. With a pure blend of passion and hard effort, he is carving himself a unique path as an entrepreneur at such a young age. It all started when he returned to India to work for his father's company after studying abroad.

Neetish Sarda's father, Ghanshyam Sarda, had a goal of providing a fully serviced workstation with top-notch design and a clutter-free environment. His father's dream came true when he founded SmartWorks, a workstation that pays attention to the tiniest things to ensure that your productivity is not inhibited. Smartworks serves organizations of all sizes with unrivalled workplace solutions that ensure long-term organizational success.

Neetish Sarda’s Father is a businessman from Calcutta who was born in August 1959.

After graduating from St. Xavier's College in Kolkata, Ghanshyam joined the family business, unaware of his future potential as a billionaire. He focused all of his efforts on the jute industry, which had previously been India's greatest source of export revenue.

The Sarda Group of Industries is headquartered in Kolkata and has locations across West Bengal. The company currently operates eight jute mills that produce approximately 500 tonnes of jute items per day. The Jute Mill in Alwar, Rajasthan, which opened recently, is projected to cost Rs 100 crore. In India, the Sarda Group was also the first to establish professional training facilities for jute mill employees.

Sarda Group is one of West Bengal's top employers, employing approximately 50,000 people. Mr Sarda has contributed to the state in many ways, including events, sports, and public affairs, in addition to business. Sarda's work has also been praised by a lot of major government leaders.

As part of his commitment to helping others, Ghanshyam was also involved in the founding of the Ram Dev Sarda Maha Vidyalaya in the Purnea region of Bihar. The Sarda Group's Chandrakala Devi Sarda Charitable Trust established this management college in honour of Late Mr Shiwlal Sarda's belief in giving back to nature, society, and the environment that we have gotten from it. The college enrols around 5000 students each year. He has also pledged to invest Rs. 5 crores in a trauma centre in Bikaner.

This trauma centre will be dedicated to Mr Sarda's deceased parents and is part of an Rs.25.00 crore emergency health care program supported by the Rajasthan government.

Rather than inheriting the family business, Sarda desired to create his legacy. He noticed that the work environment in India was not conducive to productivity and that the employees were not happy or enthusiastic. Every day, each employee works for 8 to 10 hours. Someone who spends a large amount of time at work requires a workplace environment that is suitable to their needs. He was inspired by how global behemoths such as Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, and Facebook set up and ran their offices, emphasizing the value of human assets over real estate and other equipment.

Thus, Neetish began his path with his father's guiding ideas and launched Smartworks in 2016, which is now a renowned co-working space provider. Smartworks feels that space is one of the business transformational components that may help individuals reach their full potential by allowing them to work smarter and better in a shared place.

Smartworks, India's largest provider of agile workspaces, is redefining the Indian office experience, serving more than 500 enterprises including large multinationals, SMEs, and start-ups. Smartworks' current clients include large organizations such as Tata Communications, Microsoft, ArcelorMittal, Amazon, Carrier, Otis, and Daikin, to name a few.

At The Economic Times Promising Entrepreneurs of India 2019 event on March 29, 2019, Neetish Sarda, the founder of Smartworks, India's largest provider of agile workplaces, was awarded the Promising Entrepreneur of India. His father is also an inspiration for many in present times. Being not only a good businessman but also doing efforts for the wellness of society.
