Mahesh Tibrewala, the non-executive Chairman of Roha Dyechem, started his career directly at the
family company after completing his MBA.
Starting in the company as an intern in 2008, Mahesh was put through the grind by his father Mr.
RamakantTibrewala. From commercials to other aspects of finance; from sales to marketing; from
HR to quality control: he was made to go through intensive training in all departments of the
company.
After 2 years of training, he was absorbed in the sales division and started visiting customers across
the world, giving him exposure of different cultures and thought processes. This travel has been his
biggest learning curve and has sharpened his vision for Roha Dyechem on a global scale.
Having proved his abilities in the sales division in 2 years, his father slowly backed out of the day to
day operations and handed over the entire Commercial department to him. After an initial few
months of struggle, Mahesh found his feet and made the most of this opportunity to showcase his
skills and develop as a leader in the organization.
Under his stewardship of the commercials department, Roha Dyechem has more than doubled its
revenues with profits having grown almost 4 times. In this time, Roha Dyechem has also expanded
into many global markets by starting offices in countries as diverse as Turkey, Thailand, Egypt, Africa,
Australia, Dubai, Japan, Colombia and Argentina.
Mahesh has led Roha Dyechem’s acquisition of the color division of Delta Aromatics, New Foods, a
dehydrated ingredients manufacturer from Italy, Essential SRL, a manufacturer of exclusive plant
and fruit based colour extracts also from Italy and the colors division of Cambrian, a manufacturer
based out of North America, helping the company grow, both organically and inorganically.
