The story of Dr. Faruk Gulam Patel, chairman and managing director of the KP Group, is not just about building a billion-dollar empire, but about leaving a lasting impact on the world.


From Carting to Corporate Colossus:

Born into a modest family, Dr. Patel's early life was defined by struggle. Yet, his entrepreneurial spirit burned bright, and in 1994, he founded KP Group with just Rs. 1 lakh. What began as a humble carting company soon diversified into construction, and then, with Dr. Patel's foresight, into the booming telecom sector. KP Buildcon, established in 2001, became a pan-India success story.

Leading the Charge in Renewable Energy:

Dr. Patel's vision extended beyond just business. He saw an opportunity to make a lasting impact on the environment and invested heavily in renewable energy. Today, KP Group boasts two publicly listed renewable energy companies:

  • KP Solar: Gujarat's largest private solar park, generating clean energy and contributing to India's green mission.
  • KP Wind Energy: Ranked #1 wind BOP (Balance of Plant) solution provider in Gujarat, providing cost-effective renewable energy solutions to businesses.

These achievements are not just numbers on a page. They translate to:

  • Saving 36,31,993 metric tons of CO2 emissions: A significant contribution to the fight against climate change.
  • Helping over 11,000 students directly or indirectly: Demonstrating KP Group's commitment to social responsibility and community impact.

Beyond Business: A Legacy of Giving Back


Dr. Patel's accomplishments have been recognized by prestigious awards like "Entrepreneur of the Year" by Ernst & Young. But his true measure lies in his humility and dedication to giving back. He actively supports social causes, focusing on education and healthcare, ensuring that those who face the same challenges he once did have a chance to break free from poverty.

The story of Dr. Faruk Gulam Patel and KP Group is more than just a tale of corporate success. It's a testament to the power of human spirit, proving that even the most impossible dreams can become reality with unwavering determination and a generous heart. It's a story that reminds us that success isn't measured just in wealth, but in the positive impact we create on the world around us.
