The Gundecha Empire was built from the visionary ideas and hard work of Mr. Paras D. Gundecha. As the next generation, Directors Ms. Poonam Gundecha and Mr. Deepak Gundecha came in with their own foresight and determination, taking the group still further.
The group went on to play a large part in building the skyline of Mumbai city, and stands today as one of the premiere corporations in the Industry, having earned an ISO 9001:2008 certification, and a reputation to be proud of.
Gundecha Group has branched off into Hospitality and Education spheres and only time will tell how many more paths it can pave.
