RPG Group

What RPG Group does

RPG Group (legal name: RPG Enterprises) is a privately held Indian diversified conglomerate founded in 1979 by Dr. Rama Prasad Goenka and headquartered in Mumbai. It operates through seven primary subsidiaries that span mobility, infrastructure, information technology, pharmaceuticals, energy, plantations and carbon offset. CEAT produces more than 41 million high-performance tyres annually across 2/3-wheelers, passenger, commercial and off-road vehicle segments and serves more than 100 countries through dedicated CEAT Shoppe retail outlets, the TyresNmore commerce platform, OEM direct sales, and subsidiaries CEAT Kelani (Sri Lanka) and Taabi (fleet management). KEC International is a USD 2 billion+ EPC contractor with projects across power transmission and distribution, railways, civil infrastructure, oil and gas pipelines, and solar, operating in 110+ countries through directly held operations and SAE Towers (Brazil/Mexico). Zensar Technologies (USD 643.7 million FY26 revenue) supplies technology consulting and services to high-growth enterprises across 30+ locations, spanning experience design, data engineering, advanced analytics and now biopharma following the BridgeView Life Sciences acquisition. RPG Life Sciences manufactures APIs and formulations across 13 therapy areas; Raychem RPG is a multi-decade joint venture with TE Connectivity supplying cable management, transformers and energy solutions; Harrisons Malayalam cultivates rubber and tea across 7,017 hectares; and Asvata markets carbon credits and climate solutions.

The group's revenue mechanics are varied by business unit: hardware sales (tyres, cable products), professional and managed services (Zensar, KEC EPC, Raychem), licensing and royalty arrangements in pharma, commodity sales (rubber, tea) and transaction fees (carbon credits). Pricing is largely quote-based and not publicly disclosed across the B2B portfolio, with consumer-facing tyres priced by unit on a market basis. The conglomerate sells predominantly through enterprise field sales (KEC, Zensar, Raychem, pharma) complemented by direct-to-consumer and own-storefront channels on the mobility side. Public listings are at the subsidiary level (CEAT, KEC International, Zensar, RPG Life Sciences); the parent RPG Enterprises remains privately held by the Goenka family under Chairman Harsh Goenka and Vice Chairman Anant Goenka.

Underpinning these businesses is a deliberate Industry 4.0 / Future Factories program: AI, ML, IoT, Cloud, and AR/VR are deployed across manufacturing operations, supported by an internal AI/ML team, the Digital@Work field-force platform, and the Click crowdsourcing innovation platform. CEAT Halol plant joined the WEF Global Lighthouse Network and CEAT received the Deming Grand Prize. Group operating geography spans 135+ countries across six continents, with reported metrics of USD 5.2 billion+ revenue, 35,000+ employees, and 15% compounded annual value growth.
