Sudip Dutta is a widely known businessman known for his excellent business acumen and prominent legacy. The Durgapur-based boy traveled an arduous path to becoming the entrepreneur he is today. While his journey to build an empire worth 1600 crore INR is inspiring, it wasn't easy. Perhaps, that is what made him appreciate his success even more. Great businessmen are not born. They rise to the challenge and pave the way for themselves in this gritty world. And that is precisely what Sudip Dutta did. Born in the industrial city of Durgapur, Dutta had dreams of becoming an engineer. However, the untimely death of his father and brother forced him to abandon his dreams. He had to change his dreams and ambitions in order to support his family. Rebelling against his fate, Sudip ventured to the city of dreams, Mumbai. He worked as a laborer in a packaging factory and earned 15 INR per day. He knew what struggle meant and strived to make a name for himself. Luckily, Dutta got the opportunity to do something when he heard that the packaging factory he worked for was getting close. He decided to buy the company and made an agreement with the owner. This was the first step to Sudip Dutta being the successful entrepreneur he is today. Sudip had a keen business acumen and quickly understood the longevity of the pharmaceutical sector. There was practically no recession in this industry. He decided to produce products that understood the packaging needs of the customers. Though the industry was dominated by giants such as Jindal and India Foils, Dutta didn’t give up. Sudip once quoted, “My ambition is to make this not only a large-cap company, but also an institution in the league of multinationals such as Unilever and P&G." And, he, in fact, did achieve so. Mr. Dutta bought India Foils in 2008 in a historic move from Vedanta. Soon, Ess Dee Aluminium went on to become one of the most prominent packaging giants in the sector. Dutta is also a charitable person who aims to educate the rural youth of India. At present, Sudip Dutta lives in Singapore and maintains the perfect work-life balance. He continues to spend time with this family while handling the international operations of the company. In fact, he also mentors the core team to increase sales and productivity.
