Godrej was founded in 1897 by Ardeshir Godrej to help build India’s economic independence. A significant portion of our profits from our innovations was donated to India’s freedom movement. During the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918, we made the first soap from vegetable oil with no animal fat. In 1951, we crafted the ballot boxes for India's first general election, giving both women and men the equal right to vote. At the Godrej Industries Group (GIG), we are committed to growing this legacy. The revenue of the Group is USD 6.1Bn with a market capitalization of USD 27.5 Bn (as of 31 March 2024).
