Abhay Lodha: Inspiring Entrepreneurs Of Tomorrow

Abhay Lodha, chairman-founder and promoter of the Topworth group, while lecturing in a symposium on ‘India’s emerging entrepreneurs’ said – ‘The Government and India’s entrepreneurs should engage more, with an improved interface. We are not seeking to create a scenario or solution, but simply to be able to advise them more. Our experiences in financial management could come in handy. It is time the Govt put the private sector more into consideration.’

We are in the 21st century and India still has a lot of catching up to do - Whether it is in the business infrastructure sector or in the mechanism of policy-making. The Public-Private-Partnership is already in place in India but an improved version needs to be quickly introduced.

Abhay Lodha believes in collective leadership. There is much essence in his message. Entrepreneurship almost always involves pushing against the status quo to capture opportunities and create value and that is what is being reflected in his vision.

India needs an increased participation from entrepreneurs to run the economy of the country. We cannot run the nation’s economy exclusively with civil servants. Those who create real wealth are the entrepreneurs and their timely inputs and intervention at critical juncture should be sought by the country.

As one of India’s leading business leader, Abhay Lodha may well have his wish come true. The new Government has already laid its intention clear, whereby economic development will go hand in hand with increased private participation.

Such innovative, bold ideas and a desire to contribute more to the expansion of India’s economy has been the hallmark of Mr. Lodha.

Topworth, founded in 1999 as small Steel Trading operations, under his direction and leadership has transformed into a strong integrated company with business interests in Steel, Power, Trading and Infrastructure. A global corporation with a diversified business portfolio, Topworth has caught the imagination of market leaders with such swift rise.

The advice to do what you love has become a bit of a cliché. Everyone says, "Find your passion." But that's easier said than done. Being an entrepreneur demands commitment and dedication -- more than most jobs do. Abhay Lodha has demonstrated unwavering passion in his pursuit of bringing his business ideas to fruition.

The most successful entrepreneurs are never known to forget how much they can learn from others. They ask for advice. They're flexible. They soak up the best practices around them like a sponge. Abhay Lodha has exhibited, through his years of dedicated endeavour, an open-mindedness that has had a positive impact on many aspiring entrepreneurs.

A forward-looking approach and constant flow of ideas has made him stand out amongst his peers. He is not an iconic figure, at least not just yet. However, his continued effort may soon see him join the bastion of great Indian entrepreneurs.

Abhay Lodha’s dream is not just to elevate his company to the highest pedestal. He believes in taking with him the others, those who have not had the privilege to rise, unencumbered. He established the Topworth Foundation for Social Development, with a vision that harnessing the untapped potential of this sizable section of the society can bring about the socio-economic transformation in the country.

From tenacity to the ability to tolerate risk, Abhay Lodha has reflected it all in his journey.
