Where it began

In the early 1980s a young Indian managing director went to Tokyo to meet the people at Yokohama Rubber. They looked at him and said, politely, that he seemed far too young to be running a tyre company. He went home and grew a beard. More than four decades later the beard is still there, and so is Harsh Goenka, chairman of a group with more than US$4.8 billion in revenue and over 31,000 employees [5] [10].

The beard story is a good way into his life, because Harsh Goenka has spent much of it proving that he is more than an heir. He was born in December 1957 in Calcutta [1] [2] into one of the oldest business families in eastern India. His ancestor Ramdutt Goenka came to Calcutta from Dundlod in Rajasthan’s Shekhawati region around 1820, lending money and trading with British firms such as Duncan Brothers and Ralli Brothers [4]. Two of Ramdutt’s grandsons were knighted. One of them, Sir Badridas Goenka, Harsh’s great-grandfather, became the first Indian chairman of the Imperial Bank of India, the forerunner of the State Bank of India, in 1933 [9].

His grandfather Keshav Prasad Goenka took the family from trading into industry, buying control of British managing agencies such as Octavius Steel and Duncan Brothers [4] [9]. His father, Rama Prasad (R.P.) Goenka, was born in 1930, studied at Presidency College, and joined Duncan Brothers as a covenanted assistant in 1951 [3]. His mother, Sushila Goenka, gave her sons a line that stayed with them: “Beta kuchh karo, kuchh naya karo” (Son, do something, do something new) [69].

It was a strict, frugal Marwari home. Harsh got 50 paise a month as pocket money at school and Rs 5 a month at college, and friends were not allowed to visit the house [5]. “But it helped us to keep our feet on the ground and taught us budgeting and the value of money,” he said later [5]. His father also gave him a chore he found dull: cataloguing the family’s collection of Indian miniature paintings. “I found this chore mundane, not realising that it was cultivating artistic nuance,” he wrote in 2024 [54]. That chore became a lifelong passion.

He studied economics at St Xavier’s College, Calcutta [1] [7], then went to Switzerland for an MBA at IMEDE in Lausanne, the school now called IMD, on whose foundation board he later sat [1] [9]. He spent his first 22 years in Calcutta [7]. Then he moved to Bombay for about two years of training at a textile company owned by his uncle, Jagdish Prasad Goenka [6] [7]. Looking back, he admitted the apprenticeship was short: “I wish I had had more grounding” [6].

The family split that created RPG

In 1979, when Harsh was 21, the Goenka family divided its businesses. At his flat on Carmichael Road in Bombay, Keshav Prasad drew up three lists of companies. His youngest son chose first, the middle son second, and R.P., the eldest, took the list that was left. In the historian Gita Piramal’s words, “In 20 minutes, 15 companies with an estimated combined asset base of Rs 1.45 billion changed hands” [3]. R.P.’s share included Phillips Carbon Black, Asian Cables, Agarpara Jute and Murphy India. He named the new group RPG Enterprises [3] [10]. Estimates of its size at the start vary between roughly Rs 70 crore and Rs 105 crore of turnover [3] [4].

That modest start shaped Harsh’s career. His father was about to become India’s best-known corporate raider, and his elder son was about to be handed one of the prizes.

The first break

In 1981 R.P. Goenka bought into CEAT Tyres of India, then the country’s third-largest tyre maker. Goenka investment companies bought 11% of the equity at Rs 205 a share, about Rs 1.2 crore, in a deal signed in Turin with the Italian parent, which kept its stake [3]. The Times of India later reported that R.P. made 11 trips to Turin to win the Italians over [4]. RPG’s own history dates the CEAT purchase to 1981, though some accounts give 1982 [10] [2].

On 15 October 1981, aged 23, Harsh joined the CEAT board [3]. Business Standard later wrote that his father had effectively “bought” CEAT for him to run [6]. By 1983, at about 24, he was managing director [1] [2]. That is when the Yokohama meeting happened, and when he grew the beard [5] [6].

He says he took part in his father’s deal-making “from KEC onwards”, including Dunlop, Bayer and Harrisons Malayalam, and once bid for KEC shares at an auction held at the Bombay High Court [8]. The pace was dizzying. RPG’s own timeline lists KEC in 1982, Searle India (now RPG Life Sciences) in 1983, the Gramophone Company (HMV) in 1986, Harrisons Malayalam in 1988, and Spencer’s, CESC, Raychem RPG and ICIM (later Zensar) in 1989 [10]. Sources differ on a few of these years [3]. Piramal calculated that the 1989 deals alone added almost Rs 1,000 crore to group sales of about Rs 770 crore, lifting RPG from 13th to 4th among India’s business groups [3].

After the family moved to Bombay in 1983, Harsh bought his first painting, a work from M.F. Husain’s Mother Teresa series, for Rs 1 lakh [54] [53]. In 1988, at 30, his father made him chairman of RPG Enterprises [8] [2]. From about 1990, Harsh as chairman and his younger brother Sanjiv as vice-chairman ran the group day to day, while R.P. remained its patriarch [9] [11].

“In my time, there was much more respect for lineage. People listened,” Harsh said in 2008 [6]. He knew that would not last, and much of his career has been about building something that did not depend on it.

Building the empire

The 1990s: a sprawling conglomerate

By 1992 RPG had crossed US$1 billion in sales, and by 1995 sales had reached about Rs 4,500 crore [3]. The group was in tyres, power, transmission towers, music, retail, plantations, pharmaceuticals, carbon black and, from 1995, mobile telephony through RPG Cellular in Chennai [10]. It was the classic Indian conglomerate of the licence era, built by buying old companies cheaply and trying to make them work.

The weakness of that model showed after liberalisation. Many of the businesses were small, slow-growing and short of capital. In June 2001 Sanjiv Goenka told Business Standard that the group had exited 16 companies in the previous two years and would leave other low-growth areas [16]. In December 2003 RPG sold 79.24% of RPG Cellular to C. Sivasankaran’s Sterling group (Aircel) for Rs 209 crore [15].

Fixing CEAT

The company closest to Harsh was in serious trouble. Around 2000-01 CEAT reported a loss of Rs 14 crore on sales of about Rs 900 crore, and analysts reckoned the real loss was at least Rs 60 crore. Interest costs ate up about 13% of sales. CEAT had lent money to group companies and booked unpaid interest as income, which later had to be written off. Banks would not lend more, and it owed suppliers more than Rs 150 crore [14].

Harsh’s answer was to bring in an outsider, Paras Chowdhary, as managing director, and give him a free hand with one condition: he could ask “for anything except money” [14]. Costs were cut, debt was brought down and the product mix was improved. By FY09 interest had fallen below 4% of sales, which had risen to about Rs 2,500 crore [14]. In January 2009 CEAT laid the foundation stone of a Rs 700-crore radial tyre plant at Halol in Gujarat, in the presence of then chief minister Narendra Modi [61]. Commercial production began in 2012 [10].

That episode became Harsh’s management method: hire strong professionals, give them freedom, and hold them to results. “I practise a policy where significant freedom and authority is given to professionals in the group,” he wrote in 2017. “Trust in people should never be anything less than 100 per cent” [56]. In 2008 he put it more simply: “The businesses are run by chief executives. We support them” [6].

KEC goes global

KEC International, the transmission-tower company bought in 1982, became the group’s second engine. In September 2010 KEC bought SAE Towers, an American tower maker, from ACON Investments for US$95 million, gaining 100,000 tonnes a year of capacity and plants in the Americas [21]. By 2012 KEC’s revenue had grown at 21% a year for five years to more than US$1 billion [8].

The split: “literally thrust upon us”

In August 2010 R.P. Goenka interrupted Harsh’s holiday in a Swiss village to discuss dividing the group between his two sons [12]. The decision was announced that month. R.P. said the division of the roughly Rs 16,000-crore group would follow which businesses each son already managed, “not … valuation”, and would be complete by December [11].

Harsh kept the RPG Enterprises name, with CEAT, KEC International, Zensar Technologies, RPG Life Sciences, Raychem RPG and Spencer’s Travel. Sanjiv took CESC, Noida Power, Phillips Carbon Black, Saregama, Spencer’s Retail and Music World [11] [13]. The plantations of Harrisons Malayalam and the Spencer’s hotels were divided between the brothers in December 2011 [13]. Sanjiv launched the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group in July 2011 (read his story in our Sanjiv Goenka profile).

Neither son wanted it. “It (the split) is something that my father desired; neither my brother Sanjiv nor I wanted it to happen. It was literally thrust upon us,” Harsh told Bloomberg [12]. “One day, he just made it a fait accompli. We couldn’t stop it,” he said in 2011 [7]. Of his brother: “We vibed very well and complemented each other” [8].

The split left Harsh with a smaller, more industrial group of about Rs 15,000 crore in revenue [8]. In 2012 Business Today wrote that RPG had “lost its public face”, that the undivided group’s old target of Rs 35,000 crore of revenue by 2012 had been missed, and that some investors saw Harsh as not ambitious enough [8]. His response was to set new targets for overseas revenue, appoint more independent directors and build group-level centres of excellence [8]. In January 2014 The Economic Times argued that the “forced split” had in fact worked well for both brothers [12]. R.P. Goenka died at home in Kolkata on 14 April 2013, aged 83, as chairman emeritus of both groups [64] [4] [63].

A leaner RPG, 2012 onward

The decade after the split was about fewer, bigger bets. CEAT bought the CEAT brand rights from Pirelli around 2010-11 [8] [10], built up its radial tyre capacity, and moved into off-highway and specialty tyres. Under Anant Goenka, MD and CEO from 2012 to 2023, CEAT’s market value rose from about Rs 370 crore to about Rs 5,800 crore [59].

By FY22 the group’s turnover had passed Rs 30,000 crore, with 45% coming from abroad, operations in more than 100 countries and net debt-to-equity of just 0.2 [28]. The group had invested about Rs 7,000 crore in the previous three to four years. It was, Harsh said, a “nice situation to be in when you have banks running after you” [28]. He pushed hard on digital: factory automation and robotics, AI for buying raw materials, drones on the tea estates [28]. “In the digital piece, I personally think we are ahead of the pack,” he said [28].

His style as a boss is part of the RPG pitch. “In all my years at work, I’ve never shouted or raised my voice at anyone and I take quiet pride in that,” he posted in 2025 [57]. He traces it to home: “Because I have not seen my parents get angry. And I have not got angry with my children” [58]. In September 2026, approaching 69, he was still publicly worrying that the “value attached to hard work seems to be diminishing” in Indian business [66].

The biggest deal: Camso

In December 2024 CEAT agreed to buy Michelin’s Camso compact-construction tyre and track business for US$225 million in cash. The deal came with two plants in Sri Lanka and global rights to the Camso brand after a transition period. The business had 2023 revenue of US$213 million [18]. CEAT completed the purchase in 2025 and began counting Camso’s revenue from 1 September 2025. The price is being paid in instalments, and Business Standard reported that CEAT’s net debt was expected to rise from about Rs 1,900 crore to about Rs 2,900 crore as a result [19].

The group today

Company	Business	FY26 revenue	Notes
CEAT	Tyres	Rs 15,678 crore	Record profit of Rs 697 crore [17]
KEC International	Power transmission and infrastructure contracting	Rs 23,506 crore	Order book Rs 36,267 crore [20]
Zensar Technologies	IT services	US$643.7 million	[22]
RPG Life Sciences	Pharmaceuticals	Rs 707.5 crore	Formerly Searle India [25]
Raychem RPG	Electrical products (joint venture)	Unlisted	Founded 1989 [10]

RPG bought out its Japanese partner Fujitsu’s stake in Zensar in 2007 [23], and in 2024 Zensar agreed to buy BridgeView Life Sciences for up to US$25 million to move into biopharma services [24].

RPG’s own website describes a group with more than US$4.8 billion in revenue and over 31,000 people; another page on the same site says turnover is above US$5.2 billion [10].

How the wealth is held

Harsh Goenka’s fortune is mostly the family’s stakes in these listed companies, held through investment companies rather than in his own name. At CEAT, promoters held 47.21% in September 2025, mostly through Instant Holdings (29.51%) and Swallow Associates LLP (11.09%); Harsh’s personal holding was just 0.33% [26]. Promoters held 50.10% of KEC International with no shares pledged as of September 2026 [27], and about 73% of RPG Life Sciences [67].

Estimates of his wealth have moved with share prices. Hurun’s India Rich List put Harsh Vardhan Goenka and family at Rs 9,300 crore in 2018 [33]. Forbes’s India list had him at US$4.1 billion in October 2024 [2] [31]. Forbes’s real-time estimate was about US$2.7 billion in September 2026 [31], and the Hurun Global Rich List 2026 put Harsh Vardhan Goenka and family at US$3.0 billion [32].

The setbacks and failures

The first and longest setback was CEAT itself. Around 2000-01 the company he had run since his twenties was loss-making, over-borrowed and unable to raise bank funding, partly because it had lent money to other group companies [14]. Harsh admitted the problem by bringing in an outside MD with no new money on offer. It took most of a decade to fix [14].

The group’s 1990s diversification also left a long list of exits. Sixteen companies were sold or closed in two years around 2000, and the Chennai mobile business was sold in 2003 [15] [16]. After the 2010 split, Business Today wrote that RPG had lost its public face and that the undivided group’s revenue target for 2012 had been missed by at least a fifth [8]. Zensar’s goal of US$1 billion in revenue by 2015, set in 2012, was also missed by a wide margin: its FY26 revenue was about US$644 million [8] [22].

KEC’s overseas push brought pain as well as growth. In the March 2013 quarter KEC slipped to a consolidated net loss of Rs 13.93 crore after interest costs rose 39% and new businesses weighed on profits [48]. In late 2022 its quarterly profit fell 81% to Rs 17.6 crore, hit by fixed-price legacy contracts, commodity costs and losses at SAE’s Brazilian operations [49].

CEAT has also faced labour unrest. In June 2014 a one-day flash strike at its Nashik plant ended after the deputy labour commissioner stepped in [46].

Controversies and allegations

There is no SEBI, RBI or Enforcement Directorate order against Harsh Goenka personally. The matters below concern companies in which his family’s groups are promoters, plus public rows over his posts on X.

The tyre cartel case (CEAT)

Allegation: The Competition Commission of India (CCI) found that CEAT, MRF, Apollo Tyres, JK Tyre and Birla Tyres, together with their trade body ATMA, had acted as a cartel in cross-ply tyres in 2011-12. It said they had raised prices together, limited production and shared price data through ATMA. Its order, dated August 2018, fined the companies about Rs 1,788 crore in total, including Rs 252.16 crore on CEAT [34]. Publication was delayed by court challenges, and the order was released in February 2022 after the Madras High Court and the Supreme Court dismissed the companies’ pleas against its release [34].

Response: The tyre makers denied any cartel and appealed to the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) [35].

What happened next:

• On 1 December 2022 the NCLAT set aside the order and sent the case back to the CCI. It pointed to “arithmetical and inadvertent errors” in the analysis, including use of the wrong period for price comparisons, and asked the regulator to consider the effect of penalties on the domestic tyre industry [35].
• In April 2023 the Supreme Court issued notice on the CCI’s appeal against the NCLAT ruling [36].

Status: As of 1 November 2026 no final Supreme Court judgment has been reported. The cartel finding and penalty are not in force while the appeal is pending.

Harrisons Malayalam land dispute (Kerala)

Allegation: Kerala governments have argued for years that Harrisons Malayalam Ltd (HML), the tea and rubber plantation company associated with both Goenka brothers’ groups since the 2011 division, holds tens of thousands of acres of former government or leased land without valid title. In 2013 the state appointed a special officer, M.G. Rajamanickam, under the Kerala Land Conservancy Act to resume the land, and he ordered the takeover of about 30,000 acres [37] [38].

Response: HML said it held valid title to its estates and challenged the orders in court [37].

What happened next:

• On 11 April 2018 the Kerala High Court set aside the special officer’s orders, holding that ownership could be decided only by a civil court [37].
• On 17 September 2018 the Supreme Court dismissed Kerala’s appeal [38]. The state then directed district collectors to file civil suits claiming title.
• In late 2024 the state used disaster-management powers to take parts of HML’s Wayanad estates for a township for landslide survivors. On 27 December 2024 the High Court upheld the takeover but ordered compensation to be paid to HML, saying the company had “prima facie title and admitted possession” [40] [42]. HML’s appeal was later closed as moot after the state dropped one estate [41].
• In January 2026 a sub-court in Pala dismissed the state’s ownership suit over the Cheruvally estate, which HML had sold in 2005 and which the state wants for a Sabarimala airport [39].
• In March 2026 the High Court held that its 2018 judgment had not settled title either way, leaving the question to the civil suits [65].

Status: As of 1 November 2026 no civil court has declared that HML does not own the land. Several of the state’s title suits are still pending.

Rows over posts on X

Allegation: Harsh Goenka’s X account, with about 1.8 million followers [62], has several times drawn charges of insensitivity. In December 2018 he joked about turning his car and home loans into “farm loans” after state loan waivers, and critics said he was mocking farmers [43]. In April 2021, during the second Covid wave, he posted a joke about masks at the Kumbh Mela, and “#BoycottCEAT” trended on social media [44]. In March 2023 a “modern technology” post contrasting two women was criticised as body-shaming and sexist [45].

Response: On the farm-loan post he said he had been “misunderstood” and did not mean to make fun of farmers’ distress [43]. The Kumbh and 2023 posts were deleted [44] [45].

What happened next:

• In January 2025 he was on the other side of a viral debate, criticising L&T chairman S.N. Subrahmanyan’s call for 90-hour work weeks as “a recipe for burnout, not success” [47].

Status: No legal action is known to have followed any of these posts. The rows are about public image, not any finding of wrongdoing.

Giving back

The group’s philanthropy runs through the RPG Foundation. Its best-known programme, Pehlay Akshar, began in 2008 to teach functional English in municipal schools and grew from one school in Worli to more than 2,000 [51] [50]. “We don’t give fish but teach people how to fish,” said Radha Goenka, director of the foundation [51]. Other programmes train women as commercial drivers and run courses in IT skills, healthcare and entrepreneurship [50]. Its Netranjali eye-care drive, started in 2014-15, ran more than 2,500 camps, screened about 3 lakh people and gave away 1.5 lakh pairs of spectacles [52]. The foundation’s heritage work includes restoring Mumbai’s Banganga tank [50]. The group’s companies also spend on CSR as the law requires; CEAT’s obligation for FY23, for example, was Rs 6.04 crore, of which Rs 3.98 crore was spent in the year and the rest moved to an unspent CSR account [68].

Art may be his deepest commitment. Mumbai Mirror described his collection, built over about 30 years, as probably India’s largest private collection of modern and contemporary art, including Raza, Ram Kumar and Husain. It also includes more than 800 small self-portraits gathered at artists’ camps [55]. “My home and offices are my art gallery,” he said in 2003 [53]. But he insists art is not a trade: “Art is not meant to be an investment. It should give you happiness and joy when you look at it” [9]. He has served on the National Art Advisory Committee of the National Gallery of Modern Art and on the council of the National Culture Fund [2].

He was the youngest president of the Indian Merchants’ Chamber, sits on FICCI’s executive committee, and is a trustee of Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai [1] [2].

Succession

Harsh Goenka has handed over operating roles step by step. His son Anant, a Wharton and Kellogg graduate, worked at Hindustan Unilever before joining CEAT in 2005 and became its MD in April 2012 [1] [29]. In 2011 his father said: “I won’t deny that the Goenka surname gives him an edge, but that’s certainly not enough” [7].

In March 2023 Anant stepped down as CEAT’s MD and CEO, and CEAT veteran Arnab Banerjee took over from 1 April 2023 [29]. In October 2023 Anant was named vice chairman of RPG Enterprises; Harsh said his son “has the requisite skills and business instincts to herald change” [30]. In November 2025 Anant became president of FICCI for 2025-26 [60]. Harsh remains chairman and has not announced a retirement date. The pattern is clear, though: family at the top, professionals running each company.

What their journey teaches

Inheriting a business is a beginning, not an achievement. Harsh was handed CEAT in his early twenties and was told he looked too young for the job. Less than two decades later the company was deep in trouble. Real credibility came from the turnaround, not the surname.

Give professionals freedom, but not unlimited money. Telling CEAT’s new MD he could ask for “anything except money” forced the business to fix itself through costs, working capital and product mix rather than fresh capital [14].

Fewer, bigger bets can beat a sprawling portfolio. RPG in the 1990s was in everything from mobile phones to music. After a painful decade of exits and the 2010 split, a smaller group focused on tyres, infrastructure, IT and pharma ended up with lower debt and global reach [16] [28].

Plan succession years before you need it. Anant ran CEAT for over a decade before becoming group vice chairman, and outside CEOs now run the operating companies [29] [30].

A public voice is an asset that can turn on you. Goenka’s X account has made him one of India’s most recognisable business leaders, but single posts have also triggered boycotts and backlash that reached his company’s brand [44].
