About

Sahara India Pariwar is not just a business organisation, but an emotionally integrated family. All its members are knitted by a single thread called “emotion” and every member identifies himself/herself with the true spirit of Indian nationalism, its culture, tradition, belief, ethics, values and morals. The members adore the holy motherland; Bharatiyata is the supreme religion and the national festivals - Republic Day and Independence Day- are celebrated as ‘Bharat Parva’ with utmost zeal and gaiety. The Pariwar believes that different religions are mere pathways to reach one God. One of the members of a Japanese delegation that visited Sahara India Pariwar to study its work culture remarked, “By seeing the Sahara family, I have seen as much of life as the world can show”.

Quality is our essence and we, at Sahara India Pariwar, have always stressed on the Qualitative aspect. Consequently in this run for quality, quantity has always pursued us.

Sahara India Pariwar, since its inception, has evolved on the values of an emotionally integrated family (Pariwar). All the family members of Sahara India Pariwar are bonded together by common ideas, ideals and dreams. All the family members are woven together by a single thread called ‘emotion’ and are dedicated to realize the dreams and the aims set forth, with a vision called COLLECTIVE MATERIALISM – a philosophy of the group which focuses on continuous collective growth towards collective sharing and caring. Nurtured by this philosophy, the ‘Pariwar’ has grown in stature and has diversified, adding newer dimensions to its functional areas and achieving greater heights with equal sensitivity towards its social commitments and responsibilities. As a result, it has demarcated 25 percent of its profits towards social development, 40 percent towards the welfare of its Kartavyayogis and 35 percent towards the company’s net owned fund.
