Vijay Thosani belongs to the small district of Amreli in Gujarat. His father used to run a small shop selling cutlery items. From early on, Vijay harboured dreams of entrepreneurship and making it big, especially as that would help his father and the business.
In 1984, with Rs 1,200 in hand, he set up a small unit to manufacture electric cables. Vijay tells
SMBStory that he had bigger dreams and therefore, he soon shut shop and moved to Silvassa in Dadra and Nagar Haveli to do something bigger.
Along with his friends
Babubhai Rudani, Vijay started
Noble Polymers in 1995, which used to manufacture high-density polyethylene pipes (HDPE). HDPE pipes are especially known for their chemical tolerance and anti-corrosion properties.
