It is not very often you come across a personality who,despite keeping a low profile, has a huge impact on a grand scale. One such personality is the Chairman & Managing Director at Vishvaraj Infrastructure Ltd. Mr. Arun Lakhani. He has been a beacon of positive social change aimed at bettering the lives of the common man.
To understand the magnitude of his achievements we need to look at his humble beginnings. Hailing from the small village of Malkapur from Buldhana district, he did his schooling from a Marathi medium school, going on to complete a degree in B.Sc from Amravati and an M.Tech in Petro chemicals. Yet he has achieved success that many dream about but only handful achieve.
He began his career in software writing and data processing. But being a born entrepreneur, it was only a matter of time before he eventually started this own company; Mahagas. This company was a supplier of LPG gas and was one of the earliest private players in this sector when LPG was decentralized in India.
Mahagas was just the beginning of his glorious achievements. He went on to acquire Vishvaraj Infrastructure Limited (formerly known as Vishvaraj Housing company private limited) a company specializing in infrastructure development. However, his dream was always to be a pioneer and his vision led him to do ground breaking work in waste water management and water conservation.
Realizing the importance of water as a resource, he wanted to ensure that it is not carelessly wasted. He eventually ventured into waste water management projects and is today one of the leading private organizations that works with various state governments, taking up Public Private Partnership projects in the space of water management, conservation and provision.
To understand how impeccable his vision is, we do not need to look any further than the water project done by his company Vishvaraj Infrastructure Limited in Nagpur. The project was done in collaboration with Municipal Corporation of Nagpur. The result was that a large portion of population of Nagpur is now receiving water supply 24x7. Other projects on similar line have been started by the company in South India.
It is projects like these that cement his position as an extraordinary visionary.
Mr. Arun Lakhani is a multifaceted personality and few people know about his passion for sports; especially the game of Badminton. As a result of his love for Badminton, he has actively participated in the activities that led to the advancement of the game. He is a prominent member of the executive committee of Maharashtra Badminton Association and has just added another feather to his cap by being appointed as the president of Maharashtra Badminton Association (MBA).
There is no doubt that Mr. Arun Lakhani is a harbinger of change and a man with grandiose vision. If you are looking for a role model or inspiration to bring positive change in the society then Arun Lakhani is the one you should be looking up to.
