Know Indian Entrepreneurs - # 1Walchand Hirachand Doshi

Walchand Hirachand Doshi,(23 November 1882 – 8 April 1953)
The son of a small time money lender and with no entrepreneurial history at all, Walchand always had a big dream that he wanted to live. Soon after completing his matriculation, he started taking railway contracts in partnership with Laxmanrao Phatak who was a clerk at the railways. His never ending zeal to grab whatever novel ventures came affront resulted in the end of the partnership. Wlachand will always be remembered for having started the first ever Indian aircraft company, Hindustan Aircraft and his contribution to Indian Shipping industry via Scindia Steam Navigation Company and Hindustan Shipyard Limited.
