Captain of the Ship
Mr. Ashok Chaturvedi is a visionary first generation entrepreneur, Founder, Chairman & Managing Director of Uflex Limited. Under his dynamic leadership, Uflex has evolved to become a global presence and recognized player in the flexible packaging industry. What started off as a tiny manufacturing unit in 1985 is a flourishing business venture with the turnover in excess of USD 1 bn today and is already on the growth trajectory to position itself as a leading Indian multinational business conglomerate!
To Mr. Chaturvedi’s credit are the unit packs or sachets for shampoos, mouth fresheners, candies, tomato ketchup etc. that brought about a revolution in the FMCG sector back in the eighties suddenly bringing the popular brands much within the reach of the masses. This was the ‘Watershed Moment’ that revolutionized the way FMCG products were bought and sold in India. Strong and steadfast progress under the aegis of Mr. Chaturvedi ever since has made Uflex a global player.
Mr. Chaturvedi is a globally recognized exponent of flexible packaging industry and fondly revered as the ‘Father of the Flexible Packaging Industry in India’.
