Our History

The journey of RSPL Group began in 1988 when Shri Murli Dhar Gyanchandani and Shri Bimal Kumar Gyanchandani set out from Kanpur with Ghadi Detergent. Driven by a vision to create a lasting and meaningful impact on millions of consumers across the country, RSPL Group has since expanded its presence across multiple sectors, including FMCG with household, hygiene, and personal care products, as well as dairy and allied products, real estate, footwear, lifestyle and fashion, chemicals, and green power.

Originally established as Rohit Surfactants Pvt. Ltd. in 1988 in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, the company was founded by the late Mr. Dayal Das and his sons, Mr. Murli Dhar and Mr. Bimal Kumar. Over the years, the company evolved, being renamed RSPL Pvt. Ltd. before being reconstituted as a public limited company in August 2011 under the name RSPL Ltd.

RSPL’s promoters have strategically restructured its unit for further strengthening it's position in the market. In 2006, four companies—Kanpur Detergents & Chemicals Pvt. Ltd., Rahul Detergents Pvt. Ltd., Singh Detergents Pvt. Ltd., and Rohit Soaps & Detergents Pvt. Ltd.—were merged into RSPL. In 2008, the promoters further consolidated operations by amalgamating Ghadi Industries Pvt. Ltd. and its subsidiary, Calcutta Detergents Pvt. Ltd., into RSPL. At the same time, RSPL’s real estate division was hived off to Nimmi Build Tech Pvt. Ltd. (formerly known as Poonam Developers & Infrastructure India Pvt. Ltd.).

RSPL Group is guided by a commitment to continuous improvement, with its strength rooted in unique offerings, consumer-first focus, attention to detail, transparency in business dealings, and a drive for innovation. With a rich heritage and deep industry knowledge, RSPL Group has built a vast conglomerate that not only serves millions of consumers but also provides employment opportunities across the country. As part of its strategic restructuring, in 2011, RSPL hived off its Leather & Footwear division to Leayan Global Pvt. Ltd., further refining its business focus.
