Coming from a business family with a presence in the packaging industry since 1960s, Mitul was raise with a deep understating of business principles. Therefore, entrepreneurship was a natural career path. Having grown up immersed in business values, he believes the key for success is a “never say die” spirit, especially when facing challenges.”

After completing his B.Com and Mitul pursued a Post Graduate Diploma in Business Entrepreneurship and Management from EDII. Specializing in Family Business Management, he honed his business acumen and developed a five-year growth plan for his family business.

The SUPACK GROUP, Mitul’s family business, was started to provide complete packaging solutions and improve quality standards in the field. In 1989, Supack Industries Pvt. Ltd. started by putting up a state-of-the-art, fully automated plant that could achieve high quality of corrugated packaging production, economies of scale and large-scale output. Today, Mitul leads the company, dedicated to keep the business healthy and growing. 

Mitul’s entrepreneurial path has been paved with challenges. In 2005, he started selling imported machinery and simultaneously tied up with a company to sell and service their equipment in India. He set up a different company to sell this machinery and since it was based on new technology the investments were huge. However, Mitul went for it, He got involved in educating customers and travelled extensively to promote the product. While the sale in India was gradually picking up, the OEM (the foreign manufacturer of the machine) changed their targets, demanded unrealistic sales, and ultimately cancelled the contract. After investing everything he had, Mitul was frustrated by the way things ended. This setback came with lessons for Mitul.   

Despite numerous setbacks, Mitul persevered. The SUPACK GROUP has grown significantly, with its state-of-the-art 120,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Rajkot, Gujarat. This plant features advanced technology and a capacity to convert 30,000 tons of paper annually. The company serves textiles, dairy, food, healthcare, engineering, petrochemicals, and electronics industries. SUPACK GROUP has achieved an annual turnover of approximately Rs. 1300 million.

Under Mitul’s leadership, The SUPACK GROUP launched a new greenfield unit in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, in March 2024. This cutting-edge facility, established with a significant investment of ₹800 million and equipped with the latest technology from Germany, is dedicated to manufacturing high-quality corrugated packaging solutions. This strategic expansion reinforces Supack Group’s commitment to delivering superior products and services, driving growth and employment opportunities in the region. 

Mitul’s journey exemplifies resilience, strategic vision, and a dedication to building upon his family’s legacy while embracing innovation and sustainable practices.
