Some lives are measured in years. Others are measured in impact. And then there are rare lives that quietly alter the course of institutions, industries, and individuals-shaping not just achievements, but a way of thinking, a way of building, a way of being. They do not seek the spotlight, yet they illuminate the path for others, and their values become the foundation on which generations stand.

It is my great honour and deepest privilege to write about one such individual a true force of nature, the Founder of the illustrious Kalpataru Group and our mentor, Shri Mofatraj P. Munot (MPM).

From the humble beginnings of Pipar City in Rajasthan to shaping infrastructure in over 75 countries, MPM's journey is not merely entrepreneurial - it is transformational. It is the story of a young man who may not have pursued formal engineering, yet went on to engineer institutions! A man who believed that if destiny closes one door, discipline and determination can build another.

He often reminds us that education gives knowledge, but curiosity builds wisdom. I have seen him even today study drawings with the enthusiasm of a student, debate ideas with the openness of a learner, and take decisions with the courage of a pioneer. That combination is rare. That combination is leadership!

When he founded Kalpataru in 1969, he chose the name of the mythical wish-fulfilling tree. It was a vision - he wanted to create an organisation that would offer shelter to aspirations, nurture talent, and foster growth across generations. Decades later, the Kalpataru Group stands today as one of India's fastest-growing infrastructure conglomerates - yet its roots remain deeply anchored in the values he planted: integrity, gratitude, discipline, and respect.

This book beautifully captures not only his journey, but also the voices of those who have been shaped by it. The letters included in these pages are perhaps the truest testament to his leadership. They speak of opportunities given when none were expected, of trust extended before it was earned, and of encouragement offered during moments of doubt. What sets MPM apart is his belief that character precedes success. In an era where speed often overtakes substance, he has remained steadfast - choosing the harder right over the easier wrong.

I have also seen the deeply human side of him - a man who finds solace in poetry, reflects on philosophy, and believes that gratitude is a strength, not a weakness. In his example, leadership is not about authority; it is about accountability. It is about standing firm in adversity and remaining humble in achievement.

As I write this, I do so not merely in my capacity as MD & CEO, but as a grateful student of his mentorship. His guidance has shaped our thinking and reinforced our belief that institutions endure only when their values endure.

May the pages of this book inspire future generations to dream boldly, act ethically, and lead with compassion - and to remember that the strongest foundations are not made of concrete and steel, but of character.

A Legacy still Unfolding - The Man Behind the Institution

There are leaders who build companies.

And then there are those who build institutions, character, and continuity.

Mofatraj P. Munot belongs to the latter.

Born in 1944 in Pipar village near Jodhpur, Rajasthan - just three years before India's Independence - his life unfolded alongside the making of modern India. As the nation transitioned from aspiration to action, so did he.

His beginnings were modest, rooted in tradition and quiet aspiration. His early childhood saw movement across regions - from Pipar to Punjab in 1946-47 to be with his father, and later to Jodhpur for schooling up to the 11th standard. Life did not unfold along a carefully drawn blueprint. It unfolded through responsibility.

Growing with a Young Nation

In the decades following Independence, India's construction landscape was largely government-led - dams, steel plants, public housing. Private enterprise in real estate and infrastructure was still in its infancy.

In 1961, at just 17, Mr. Munot moved to Mumbai to join his family's real estate business. India was navigating a controlled economy. Capital was scarce. Infrastructure development was slow but steady and private developers operated in a tightly regulated environment.

That same year, he married Smt. Sharad Chandrika-ji - a partnership that would anchor his life in values and quiet strength.

When formal education was not possible, he chose immersion over instruction. He took hands on training under Mr. Ram Batra and learned the science of construction from Chief Engineer Mr. Jaswantsingh-ji- often travelling with him to sites, absorbing knowledge through observation and discipline. He built his own path - learning construction science on-site, absorbing practical engineering knowledge, and cultivating discipline.

• It was the era of self-reliance.
• He embodied it.
• GET INSPIRED 2.0

The 1960s were years of dual construction - enterprise and family. In 1964, the birth of his first child, Sudha, brought a new dimension of responsibility and joy. A year later, in 1965, his second daughter, Sunita, was born. These were years of building - not just structures in Mumbai, but a home grounded in values.

Fatherhood strengthened his resolve. The discipline he practised in business was matched by quiet attentiveness at home. Together with Sharad Chandrika-ji, he nurtured a family rooted in simplicity, integrity, and mutual respect. The Munot home evolved into a multi-generational family, expanding through marriages and grandchildren - not merely in numbers, but in shared ethos.

GET INSPIRED 2.0

These were also years when India's urban centres - especially Mumbai - were beginning to expand vertically. The demand for housing in metropolitan cities was rising steadily, driven by migration and industrial growth.

In 1969, as the country saw banking nationalisation and structural economic shifts, Mr. Munot ventured into independent real estate development. Between 1969 and 1972, he acquired strategic properties in South Mumbai - Pedder Road, Kemps Corner, Nepean Sea Road, Malabar Hills - at a time when few private developers possessed both the foresight and courage to invest boldly.

He named his enterprise Kalpataru - the mythical wish-fulfilling tree. It was a name symbolic of aspiration during an era of constraint.

The Middle East Leap - Ahead of the Curve (1974-1982)

In the mid-1970s, India faced economic stagnation and the aftershocks of the oil crisis. Simultaneously, the Gulf region was witnessing a construction boom fuelled by oil wealth.

Sensing opportunity before it became mainstream, Mr. Munot expanded to Sharjah in 1974 - long before overseas contracting became common among Indian entrepreneurs.

Between 1974 and 1982, he expanded into the Middle East - establishing civil contracting operations across the UAE, Yemen, Iraq, and Muscat. From Sharjah, he built one of the largest Indian contracting businesses in the region:

⚫ Over 6,000 technicians and 500 staff employed

⚫ Execution of five-star hotels, hospitals, university campuses, townships, mosques, and commercial complexes

At a time when Indian labour migration to the Gulf was accelerating, he was not merely exporting services he was creating global credibility for Indian construction expertise.

More than contracts, he created livelihoods - enabling thousands of Indian professionals to build careers overseas. It was entrepreneurship with nation- building impact.

GET INSPIRED 2.0

The 1980s marked the gradual emergence of private participation in infrastructure. Transmission lines, power generation, and industrial capacity were national priorities.

Mr. Munot returned to India in 1981-82 - just as the country began cautiously opening its industrial sectors. He joined H.T. Power Structures Pvt. Ltd, as a Partner, this company would later become Kalpataru Power Transmission Limited. In 1986, following the untimely demise of Mr. D.C. Patel, he assumed the role of Promoter - stepping into leadership during a period that required clarity and courage.

Under his stewardship, the organisation evolved into a global infrastructure force. Mr. Munot positioned himself and Kalpataru at the forefront of India's power transmission expansion - an area critical to economic growth.

GET INSPIRED 2.0

India's 1991 economic liberalisation changed everything.

As markets opened and private capital flowed more freely, infrastructure companies gained access to equity markets. Recognising the moment, Kalpataru Power Transmission went public in 1994-95 and listed in 1995 - aligning corporate growth with national reforms.

This period also saw a great personal loss. In 1998 the loss of Sharad Chandrika- ji was a deeply personal and defining moment. Yet, in characteristic fashion, he responded not with retreat, but with resilience - carrying forward her legacy of strength and value-based living.

A year later, in 1999, the commissioning of the R&D Centre at Gandhinagar (testing up to 800 kV towers) coincided with India's push for grid modernisation and high-voltage transmission capacity. The journey continued.

Mofatraj P. Munot was not reacting to reform.

He was preparing for it.

Diversification during India's Infrastructure Acceleration (2000-2020) The 2000s saw:

• ⚫ National Highway Development Programme
• ⚫ Power sector reforms
• ⚫ Urban renewal missions
• ⚫ Public-Private Partnership (PPP) models

Under his leadership, the Group expanded into:

• ⚫ Oil & Gas (2004)
• ⚫ Acquisition of JMC Projects (2005)
• ⚫ Logistics & Urban Infrastructure (2007)
• ⚫ Railways and Roads (2010)

⚫ Water and Highways (2013 onwards)

Each move coincided with national infrastructure thrusts. When India emphasised rail modernisation - Kalpataru entered railways. When urban water projects expanded - Kalpataru entered water.

When airports and housing scaled - the Group was present.

By 2018, global operations spanned 50+ countries-reflecting India's emergence as a global EPC exporter.

A new era of global expansion:

Strategic diversification became a hallmark of his leadership: Oil & Gas. Urban Infrastructure. Logistics. Railways. Roads. Water. Highways. Airports. Housing. Underground Metro. By 2019, acquired majority stake in LMG in Sweden.

The Era of Consolidation and Global Identity

In 2023, the completion of the merger of JMC Projects India Ltd. (a subsidiary of KPTL) and renaming to Kalpataru Projects International Limited signified transformation from a transmission-focused company to a diversified global EPC major.

In 2024:

⚫ Entry into Underground Metro projects

At nearly eight decades of life, his journey continues to align with India's infrastructure ambitions - now in metro rail, renewable energy, and cross- border EPC projects.

Through each expansion, his leadership remained measured, principled, and long-term in orientation.

The Man behind the institution is known for his quiet resilience. Those who know him describe him as:

⚫ Discipline without harshness ⚫ Authority without arrogance ⚫ Vision without flamboyance

• He believes:
• Profit must not compromise respectability.
• Employees are assets, not cost centres.

⚫ Growth must be ethical to endure.

Like the leaders who shaped India's industrial narrative, he measures success not in quarterly numbers - but in institutional continuity.

A Life Interwoven with India's Rise

From the era of controlled economies to liberalisation.

From low-rise housing to skyscrapers.

From local development to becoming the 'Worlds local EPC Partner'.

His journey mirrors India's transformation.

He did not merely build structures.

He helped strengthen the scaffolding of a nation in transition.

And through it all, he remained what he began as a disciplined son of the soil, guided by conviction.

From a young boy in Pipar village to Chairman of a global infrastructure conglomerate, Mofatraj P. Munot's journey is not defined merely by expansion - but by evolution.

He built skylines.

He built transmission lines across rivers, mountains and borders.

He built enterprises across continents.

But above all, he built trust within his family, within his organisation, and within the markets he served.

The Kalpataru tree continues to grow - its branches stretching wider each year. Yet its roots remain anchored in the same soil: discipline, humility, courage, and values.

In honouring him, we do not merely recount milestones.

We acknowledge a life that demonstrates how quiet conviction can shape enduring legacies.

This is not just a story of business success.

It is the story of character in action.

With Reverence and Respect

Eighty-one years ago, in a quiet village in Pipar City of Jodhpur District, where roads were dusty and homes were shaped from mud, a child was born to Shrimati Sugan Devi Ji and Shri Pukhraj Sa Munot. He was named Mofatraj (MPM). His early life was neither marked by luxury nor burdened by hardship. It was defined by simplicity, balance and sanskar. It was a childhood scented with the fragrance of wet earth after the monsoon rains, nurtured by the blessings of devoted parents, and sanctified by the serene vibrations of the Navkar Mantra. Those formative years did not merely shape a boy- they shaped a character.

With dreams larger than his surroundings, he left his village for education in Jodhpur. From there, carrying a suitcase that held more hope than clothing, he moved onward to the bustling metropolis of Mumbai (then Bombay) to carve his career. The city was loud, swift, and often indifferent. But where others saw chaos, MPM saw possibilities. To him, Mumbai was not merely a collection of buildings; it was a grand puzzle waiting to be understood and assembled. He observed. He learned. He built. Through determination, foresight, and unwavering discipline, he entered the world of construction, infrastructure and logistics. He wished and acquired lucrative construction contracts during the 1970s in the Middle East oil boom, where he built the palace of the ruler of Sharjah. Over time, he did not merely construct buildings; he built trust, reputation, and institutions. He rose to become a global business leader, understanding deeply that any structure, whether of concrete or character, is only as strong as its foundation.

Under his stewardship, the Kalpataru Group of companies became a symbol of quality, reliability, and excellence across borders. The name "Kalpataru" itself evokes the wish-fulfilling divine tree, and in many ways, his enterprise has fulfilled the aspirations of countless families by providing jobs, homes, security, and opportunity. His journey in business is not merely a story of success; it is a lesson in leadership, integrity, and the art of achieving greatness with humility. Yet the true measure of a life is not only in commercial triumph.

For more than three decades, by the divine blessings of Parma Pujya Acharya Shri Hastimal Ji Maharaj Sa, MPM devoted himself wholeheartedly to Akhil Bhartiya Shri Jain Ratan Hiteshi Sarawak Sangh. Many might wonder why a leader of such a vast business empire spread over more than 70-75 countries would dedicate so much time to spiritual and community service. But for him, spirituality was never a distraction- it was the balancing force. Building homes and monumental infrastructure provided shelter for families and strength for cities. Serving his faith gave him purpose and inner anchoring. It was his quiet gratitude to the Creator who gave him the strength to lift heavy stones and heavier responsibilities alike.

At the age of 81, the pace of his life has not diminished, nor has his clarity of vision. As he walks through the city today, he sees his legacy reflected in glass and concrete. Yet those who know him closely understand that his greatest constructions are invisible! They are built of character, integrity, discipline, compassion, and faith. Cement may raise skyscrapers, but values raise generations.

On a personal note, my association with MPM was not planned-it was providential.

Decades ago, I had gone for darshan of Acharya Shri Heera Chand Ji Maharaj Sa, unaware that destiny would lead me to stay at MPM's residence. From that moment onward, I had the privilege of knowing him closely. Eventually, we worked together

GET INSPIRED 2.0

in the Shri Jain Ratan Hiteshi Sarawak Sangh, where I witnessed firsthand how a titan of the infrastructure industry harmoniously manages business, family, friendships, relationships, and religious responsibilities.

In a world where many claim they have "no time," Shri MPM stands as a living example that time is not found- it is created through discipline and priority. His time management is not merely about efficiency; it is about value alignment. He remains a busy man, yet always available-present for family, attentive to associates, committed to community, and grounded in faith. It is truly an honour for me to speak about such an inspirational personality and, of course, a lover of Urdu poetry. Shri Mofat Raj Sa Munot is not only a successful industrialist but also a custodian of values, a servant of society, and a builder of both structures and souls.

On this remarkable milestone of 81 years, I offer my heartfelt wishes for his continued health, happiness, and purposeful longevity. May he be blessed with many more years of strength and vision.

I also extend my warm congratulations to the entire Kalpataru family for being guided by such a dynamic, principled, and visionary leader.

Mofatraj Sa MUNOT is a truly remarkable individual, distinguished by his rare qualities and outstanding achievements. My long personal and professional association with him has only deepened my admiration over the years.

The aspect of his life that impresses me most is his ethos-marked by unwavering integrity and profound compassion. I have personally witnessed his generosity, as his support for individuals and institutions in need has been both extensive and heartfelt.

On the industrial front, his journey is equally inspiring. Starting modestly in a village, he built, through vision, dedication, and an uncompromising commitment to quality, a vast enterprise spanning the infrastructure and transmission sectors, earlier abroad and now in India.

On the occasion of his 81st birthday, I wish him a long, healthy, and fulfilling life.

Of all the innumerable sterling qualities of head and heart of respected Bhai Sahab Shri Mofatraj sa Munot, whether in business, industry, society, Sangh or Samaj, whether worldly or spiritually, one quality is kind-heartedness, compassion, anukampa. Very recently I had a sample glimpse of it.

I received a phone call from my cousin who lives in Merta City. He informed me that his younger brother was in a critical situation at a hospital in Jaipur. In the same hospital, there was a list of donors written on a plank, where Bhai Sahab's name was also mentioned. He requested if Shri Mofatraj sa could have a word with the hospital and provide personal attention due to our his serious condition. After speaking to Shri Mofatraj sa, he asked me to send all the information and said they would get back very soon.

Within a couple of hours I received a phone call from Bhai Sahab informing me that he had spoken to the Management of the Hospital & requested them to give personal attention to that patient. Also, the top Management of the hospital contacted the patient and my cousin and told them about the call received from Munot sa.

I was wonder-struck by the quick & kind action taken by Bhai Sahab. This only demonstrates the kind-heartedness, compassion and anukampa in the heart of respected Bhai Sahab Shri Mofatraj sa Munot, for all & sundry.

May Dev, Guru and Dharam bless him for a long life of 100 years with good physical & mental health, peace, prosperity & happiness, to continue to serve the Sangh & Samaj.

I have been associated with Kalpataru Group since 1978-just two years short of half a century. Perhaps, after MPM, I may be the longest-serving person in the entire group.

Such a long journey does not just happen - there are many reasons behind it, but the most important reason has always been MPM.

Though, I never had the opportunity to work directly under MPM professionally, I was blessed to live with him in his home in Sharjah, UAE for a few years. For me, he has always been like Dronacharya - a guiding force and a silent teacher.

His dedication is not limited to business alone - it reflects in everything he does, even in the smallest things, like playing cards. For him, nothing is casual. Dedication flows in his blood. Whether it is a friend or even dushman (enemy), he always offers honest and frank advice, guided by his sharp analytical mind. In that sense, he is truly the best counselor and guide. He is the most wonderful thing that has happened in my life.

He has always been fun-loving, lively, and full of spirit - someone who enjoyed reading and writing shayari, like a river that flows freely and joyfully. But over the years, he is so deeply immersed in business that perhaps the playful side of his, has taken a backseat.

My Cherished Bond with Mofatraj Munot: A Lifetime of Relations and Reflections

For over four decades, our families have shared a deep and unbreakable bond with Mofatraj Munot, the esteemed Chairman of Kalpataru Projects International Limited. What began as a professional association gradually blossomed into a profound family relationship-one rooted in mutual respect, unwavering support, and genuine affection.

Across these 40 years, we have created countless cherished memories together. To me, he is far more than a respected business leader; he is a friend, philosopher, and guide-a true brother in every sense of the word. His presence in our lives has been a blessing, steady and reassuring through every phase of life.

Mofatraj Bhai and Punatar Saheb shared an especially strong and heartfelt bond. Punatar Saheb always carried immense love and regard not only for Mofatraj Bhai but for the entire Kalpataru family. That warmth extended naturally to our families, and it has become a tradition for us to stand by one another during every milestone and celebration, strengthening the ties that unite us.

What touches me most is his consistent warmth. Whenever we speak, he never fails to enquire about our well-being, his attentive smile and gentle voice reflecting the sincerity of a true brother. In those simple yet meaningful conversations, one sees the philosophy he lives by: nurture relationships above all else and care for people. In a world that often moves too quickly, he remains anchored in human connection.

Mofatraj Bhai has always been a pillar of strength. His help is never transactional-it flows from pure kindness and an innate generosity of spirit. While he is a distinguished entrepreneur and visionary leader, what truly sets him apart is his humanity. He possesses deep knowledge of business and life alike, but more importantly, he understands the art of building and sustaining meaningful relationships. Through his actions, he teaches that real success lies not in achievements alone, but in uplifting others along the way.

He is also a deeply religious person who follows his faith with sincerity and discipline, to the tee. His spirituality is not merely ritualistic; it is reflected in his values, humility, compassion, and sense of duty. His strong moral compass, rooted in faith, guides his decisions and interactions, reinforcing his belief that life must be lived with integrity, gratitude, and service to others.

His life beautifully reflects his core belief: relationships are the truest form of wealth. He inspires those around him to be more compassionate, to listen with empathy, and to extend support without expectation.

Bhabhiji, his beloved wife, was like a goddess in her grace and warmth. She embodied care, love, and wisdom in every interaction, and her presence enriched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know her.

As I reflect on this extraordinary bond, my heart overflows with gratitude and affection for a remarkable soul who has touched our lives so profoundly. We offer our sincere prayers for his continued health, happiness, and long life.

I am Sheela, wife of K. V. Mani, and I feel proud to have had a small role in the KPTL story of hard work and success.

Mofatraj Ji rose as a successful builder before entering the transmission line sector, guiding the engineering field with sincerity and confidence.

As KVM often said, "I have the entrepreneurial freedom with the total support of Mofatraj Ji - the best situation for an ambitious goal-setter to forge forward."

Our Chairperson is compassionate and committed to the welfare of the company and its people. The establishment of a health clinic in Gandhinagar for the KPTL family and for the needy in the surrounding community reflects his magnanimous and his caring nature.

I had the privilege, with his approval and encouragement, to conduct programmes for the families of staff and factory workers widening their horizons through workshops and educational initiatives with the help of a team of enthusiastic KPTL volunteers. Our Chairman has always been the driving force behind every welfare initiative.

There could be no more fitting occasion than Chairman Sir Shri Mofatraj Munot's 81st birthday for all of us to pause and reflect-not only on his extraordinary achievements as a first-generation wealth creator, but more importantly, on the values and character that have shaped his remarkable journey.

His success rests on unwavering integrity, relentless hard work, moral courage, resilience in adversity, and an uncompromising commitment to excellence. These values have not only defined his own destiny but have profoundly influenced the lives of countless individuals who have had the privilege of working with him and learning from him.

Having watched him closely in the boardroom, I have always been struck by the rare combination of strategic clarity and microscopic attention to detail that he brings to every decision. His business acumen is sharp, his thinking structured and forward-looking, and his insistence on doing what is right-regardless of convenience-is absolute. For him, quality is not a benchmark; it is a non-negotiable standard.

What makes Mofatrajji truly exceptional is his ability to harmonise qualities that rarely coexist in one individual. He is decisive yet prudent; visionary yet deeply grounded; demanding in standards yet compassionate in understanding; commercially astute yet uncompromising on integrity. Despite towering achievements, he remains a patient listener and a lifelong learner-always open to diverse perspectives and thoughtful dialogue.

At a personal level, he embodies grace and humility. God-fearing, family- centred, fair, and equitable, he treats everyone around him-irrespective of position and title with dignity and respect. His leadership is not driven by authority alone, but by his moral compass.

All of us in the Kalpataru Group are truly fortunate to have Mofatrajji's guidance and inspiration. His presence provides stability, direction, and confidence. He does not merely lead he builds institutions, shapes culture, and sets standards that endure.

On this milestone 81st birthday, we celebrate not just a distinguished industrialist, but a principled leader and a remarkable human being whose legacy will continue to inspire generations.

My interactions with him during the Board Meetings of Kalpataru Projects International Limited have been particularly insightful. In every meeting, he brings a rare combination of depth and clarity. Despite his vast experience and stature, he remains exceptionally polite, respectful, and humble in his approach.

What has impressed me most is his extraordinary eye for detail and involvement in the business. He is thoroughly prepared, demonstrates an acute understanding of macro-level strategy and on certain aspects even the micro-level execution. His questions are always thoughtful, relevant, and directed toward strengthening governance and long-term value creation.

Although he is the main promoter of the Company, what truly distinguishes him is his objectivity.

What has always stood out for me is his remarkable grip over a wide spectrum of subjects. He has a very acute business sense, coupled with a consistently practical and grounded approach.

His deep respect for governance, ethics, and values and his complete unwillingness to compromise on these pillars sets a standard that is rare and exemplary.

Equally admirable is his humility. He is a good listener who listens with intent, respects diverse viewpoints, and remains genuinely curious.

I am very glad to contribute this note to the book.

Warm regards, Dhananjay Mungale Independent Director

Kalpataru Foundation Day: A Vision I Had the Privilege to Witness

There are institutions one joins, and there are institutions one grows with. Kalpataru, for me, has been the latter-a journey not merely of years, but of learning, inspiration, and the rare privilege of witnessing a founder's vision unfold into an enduring legacy.

Based on his various instances of life journey shared with me & observations, when Chairman founded Kalpataru in 1969, he did not simply create a company; he initiated a philosophy. A philosophy rooted in integrity, built on discipline, and sustained by unwavering belief in doing things the right way, over the long term. Over the past 18 years, that I have had the honour of working under his guidance, I have seen first-hand the extraordinary clarity and quiet strength that define his leadership.

What has always stood out to me is not just the scale of what he built, but the manner in which he built it. There was never haste for short-term recognition, never deviation from core values, and never compromise on the principles that formed the foundation of Kalpataru. Decisions were guided not by momentary pressures, but by a deep and steady conviction about what would endure.

Over the decades, I have come to see Kalpataru as more than a company. It is, in every sense, like the ч, strength lies in the depth of its roots. The tree begins quietly, almost unnoticed, but as its roots strengthen, its presence expands, providing stability and shelter for generations. Its growth is not accidental-it is the natural outcome of a strong and unwavering foundation.

This spirit finds reflection in the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita:

(Bhagavad Gita 3.21)

Meaning: Whatever a great person does becomes the standard for others; the path he creates becomes the path that many follow.

Through his actions over more than five decades, Chairman has exemplified this truth. He has led not through words alone, but through example-demonstrating that lasting institutions are built with patience, resilience, and unwavering adherence to values.

A Sanskrit reflection captures this enduring principle:

Meaning: The tree whose roots are strong continues to grow, steadily and eternally.

Today, Kalpataru stands as that living tree. Its roots lie in the vision and values of its Founder. Its strength lies in the culture he nurtured. And its growth is sustained by the collective commitment of its people.

During my years within this organization, I have also witnessed another defining strength of Kalpataru-its people. Across sites, offices, and leadership roles, there exists a shared sense of responsibility and pride. This is not accidental. It is the natural outcome of a culture shaped by trust, empowered by leadership, and sustained by example. When people believe in the foundation upon which they stand, they do not merely work-they contribute to something larger than themselves.

Foundation Day, therefore, is deeply meaningful. It is not only a reminder of when Kalpataru began, but a reflection of why it has endured. It is a tribute to the foresight of a Founder whose vision continues to guide us, and to the countless individuals who carry that vision forward each day.

For me personally, it has been a privilege to learn from Chairman, to observe his clarity of thought, his steadiness in times of uncertainty, and his unwavering commitment to building for the long term. His journey reminds us that true legacy is not created in moments, but through decades of consistent action guided by enduring values.

As Kalpataru continues its journey forward, it does so on a foundation that is both strong and timeless.

In 2011, we were L1 in a very large project. The Client wanted to award the project to another bidder.

We were asked to exit the race. The risks on this project were relatively very high.

The matter was discussed with our Chairman. He reviewed the matter and asked: Will we lose money on this project. When we said that we may not make money but we will not loose money either, he asked us to go ahead with the Project and in fact made substantial personal efforts to make sure we got the job. Eventually we got the job, made money and got good PQ also. Important was his trust on the team.

Chairman Sir is a fatherly figure always pushing us all towards Excellence.

His unrelenting push on Quality is admirable..

As I start to pen down a few words about Chairman as we fondly refer to as MPM and his legacy.... Words truly elude me and my heart chokes with an overwhelming sense of gratitude, pride, and admiration. His towering personality (also literally) is a true reflection and testament of his ability by accomplishment of creating historic landmarks in the city of Mumbai.

His towering landmark buildings broke barriers of design, disbelief and frankly conventional wisdom challenging design philosophies of top names in the country. This wasn't a mere coincidence it's a combination of several qualities that define who he is... In my personal humble opinion a simple man who will relentlessly seek answers no matter how basic and complex with the same level of enthusiasm and curiosity till he gets them. His excruciating level of detailing in his quest for perfection and excellence in all his endeavours be it poetry or religious orientations and contribution to society through several initiatives, be it in business or technical sphere of life is contagious and constantly motivating and inspiring to one and all.

As I clock close to 6 years with the Kalpataru family and for several others with over 2 decades the feelings are unanimous and consistent for MPM being defined as a man who is a father figure to all and as lovable, affectionate and simple natured.

I have personally had the good fortune of having had the opportunity to work with him closely and meaningfully over the last several years. That experience is not just invaluable and humbling but the greatest gift I could receive of lessons in selfless devotion to work and commitment to highest standards of ethics and human values.

On the ocassion of his 81st Birthday I wish and pray for his continued good health and vigour & passion for pursuing excellence and perfection.

My journey with Respected Shri Mofatraj P. Munot began over 40 years ago, and even today I feel the same sense of respect and admiration I felt the first day I met him. Every decade with him felt like a new chapter of learning.

⚫ One of the first things I learned was the importance of choosing the right people.

He would say, if your people are right, decisions become easy.

This simple belief shaped the way I worked for the rest of my life

⚫ As Director (Finance) & CFO, I have spent critical time with him during some of the most defining financial moments of our Group, our IPO, JMC acquisition, various capital market milestones, banking decisions, and several bold strategic decisions. But behind every major step was his one signature style: Deep analysis, sharp instincts, and courage to take a calculated risks.

⚫ He has a remarkable ability to dive into every detail, be it legal, commercial, technical, or project execution. With him, "good enough" never existed; only excellence mattered.

⚫ His commitment to integrity and honesty is unwavering. It is not just a business principle, it his way of living. Being around him, I learned that character matters more than numbers.

⚫ He has a beautiful curiosity about people.

Whenever he meets someone, he wanted to know their work, their achievements, their philosophy. Those conversations, often inspired all of us around him.

⚫ Despite his towering stature as a businessman, he carries a deep faith in Jain Dharma, staunch follower of our Dharma and a soft, generous heart. His spirituality guided many of his decisions, especially those related to giving back to society.

One recent moment that touched me deeply was when we were selecting our MRI machine for Kalpa Seva Arogya Kendra under CSR. We suggested a refurbished machine to save costs.

He listened, paused, and said with conviction: If we are serving society, it must be the best. He insisted we buy the latest Siemens Magnetom Sempra machine, even though it cost almost three times more. For him, the value of serving humanity far outweighs financial savings.

. Over the years, what inspired me most was not his success, but his discipline, his drive to stay ahead with the best technology, his insistence on never compromising on quality and integrity, and his belief that a company must be a trend setter, not a follower.

• Working with him wasn't just a professional experience, it became a life education. I learned how to think, how to decide, how to lead, and above all, how to uphold values.

⚫ When I look back, my 40+ years journey with him feels like a treasure chest of stories, lessons, and memories that shaped every part of who I am today. Being part of his vision has been the greatest privilege of my career.

⚫ On occasion of this Publication on 81st Birthday of our Group Chairman Shri Mofat Raj sa, I along with my family wish him very healthy and prosperous long life.

As I sit down to write this, I realise that some relationships in one's professional life quietly become far more than professional. They become formative.

Working with you over the years has not just been a role - it has been an education.

I have seen your discipline up close. Your day does not begin or end casually. There is always a sense of purpose in how you think, read, analyse, and act. Even today, your curiosity about the world - markets, policies, global developments-remains sharper than many half your age. It reminds me that leadership is not about tenure; it is about staying intellectually alive.

What has influenced me most, however, is your clarity. You have never believed in softening the truth for comfort. Your feedback is direct, sometimes tough, but always rooted in a desire to make the other person better. Many of us carry lessons from those conversations - lessons that shaped our judgement and strengthened our resolve.

I have also admired your extraordinary attention to detail. You remember discussions from years ago numbers, commitments, even small remarks made in passing. It reflects how seriously you take every responsibility and every relationship.

Your commercial strength is widely respected. You understand business with instinctive sharpness. Yet what stands out to me is that success has never altered your simplicity. There is no display, no unnecessary noise - only quiet confidence.

Your ethical compass has always been steady. In moments where compromise might have been easier, you have chosen conviction. That example has given many of us courage in our own decisions.

Beyond business, your spirituality and sense of duty toward society have added depth to your leadership. Your belief in genuine service - in doing what is right without seeking recognition - has left a lasting imprint on the organisation's culture.

Most importantly, you care. You care about people's growth, about their families, about their stability. That concern is real - and it is felt.

On this special occasion, I simply want to say thank you. Thank you for the trust you have placed in me. Thank you for the lessons-spoken and unspoken. And thank you for showing us that leadership can be strong without being loud, ambitious without being arrogant, and successful without losing its soul.

With deep respect and warm wishes for your continued health and strength.

ALEGEND WHO HAS TRANSFORMED KALPATARU & US..

When we speak about MPM Sir's journey... we often speak about courage, conviction, and vision.

Because when I look at Sir... I do not just see a leader. I see a young and dynamic person, a 17-year-old boy who stepped into responsibility before he stepped into adulthood. A boy who gave up his own dream of becoming an engineer, not because he lacked ambition, but because he believed duty came first.

And perhaps that is where everything began.

Mofatraj Ji Sir built his life the hard way on construction sites, under mentors, learning not from textbooks, but from experience. Every brick he placed in those early years carried discipline. Every decision carried weight. And unknowingly... he built a foundation not just for a company, but for all of us who would follow.

I joined Kalpataru in 1988 as a young man immediately after my marriage, a Chartered Accountant by qualification, trained in finance, armed with numbers and strategy. But real estate is not learned in spreadsheets. It is learned on the ground. It is learned in negotiations, in uncertainty, in responsibility. For the last 38 years, I have grown within these walls. I have seen market cycles change. I have seen regulations evolve. I have seen technologies transform how we build. But the one thing that has never changed... is only his discipline and dedication.

GET INSPIRED 2.0

That discipline has shaped me. From watching him review documents with unmatched precision. From seeing plans returned with comments before anyone expected them. He is an extremely meticulous planner. His day begins with clarity, whom he must call, whom he must follow up with, and what must be completed before the day ends. And we all know, if your name is written in MPM Sir's diary, you must be prepared because that work will get done that very day. From knowing that if your name was written in his diary in which of the three columns, you know that there will be work assigned to you and you will have to complete it that very day. On a lighter note...Apka naam Dairy mein hai toh aap bahut kuch seekh loge...an enriching experience of a lifetime.

I learned that excellence is not an act. It is a habit. I remember during Parag and Monica's wedding, for almost a month, MPM Sir's planning and excellence were visible during the festivities be it the 'mela' theme, the party on two floating decks, the food selection or the entire experience for the guests - everything had to be perfect and excellent. His choice of having exclusive shapes of Mithai itself shows his level of minute detailing

When the Group achieved its first listing in 1995, it was a milestone for the organisation. And now, the recent listing of real estate in July 2025, the business closest to Sir's heart, I felt very emotional. Because for those of us who have walked this journey for decades with him and the group, we know what that glorious moment truly represents to him and us.

It represents patience. It represents persistence. It represents belief.

Sir expanded into industries beyond real estate Caprihans, transmission, global EPC each decision bold and courageous. But through it all, his heart always came back to real estate. To building homes, cities and trust.

And for someone like me, who has spent 38 years learning under his guidance, that consistency has been the greatest education of my life and I am still on the learning curve. Sir has not only built businesses. He has built people like me who came here as young professionals and grew into leaders under his watch.

GET INSPIRED 2.0

His integrity has taught us honesty. His discipline has taught us focus. His courage has taught us to take bold calls. His work ethic has taught us that leadership is not a title, it is responsibility.

Whoever has worked with MPM will recount his eternal love for impromptu SHER-O-SHAYARI... He would often draw from the words of Mirza Ghalib, Harivanshrai Bachchan, and Sant Kabir verses that reflected resilience, faith, and perspective. I know a lot of colleagues pen down his words...KUCH SHABDO MEIN BAHUT KUCH BOL DETE HAIN

A few years ago, when I mentioned to him that I had turned 60 and perhaps it was time to step back, Sir looked at me and said, "How can you retire? As long as I am working, you are working." In that moment, I did not hear a command. I heard belief.

We are celebrating a life of relentless effort, a life that chose responsibility over comfort, a life that built institutions that will stand for generations.

Sir began his journey as a young boy with conviction. Because of him, many of us who began as young professionals found conviction too. Personally, I stand here with immense gratitude. For 38 years of learning, guidance and being shaped by his example.

Thank you, Sir - for building Kalpataru. But more importantly, thank you for building US.

There are some lives that inspire not through noise, but through steady action. For me, Shri Mofatraj Munot's (MPM sir) life has always been a living example of the timeless wisdom of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita - "..." ("Karmanye vadhikaraste...") - that our right lies in action, not in the fruits thereof. When I reflect upon his remarkable 82-year journey as I know from others and also experienced for last 21 years, I see not just a success, but a lifetime of discipline, resilience, and unwavering commitment to duty. Like a "Karmayogi"

MPM sir's story is not one of sudden achievement. It is a story built brick by brick-through effort, integrity, and perseverance. The Sanskrit saying, "unft gain asraffu a Haze: 1" ("Udyamena hi siddhyanti karyani work is accomplished through efforts, not mere wishes perfectly captures his life's philosophy. He never believes in shortcuts. He believes in showing up, working hard, and letting results follow naturally.

What moves me the most is not only what he has achieved, but how he has achieved it. In an age where recognition is often loudly sought, he has remained grounded. His strength has always been quiet determination. His decisions have been guided by values rather than convenience. Success, for him, has never been an end in itself - it has been a journey and a responsibility too.

During 80+ years, his life radiates the blessings envisioned in the ancient hymns of the Rigveda "R: H I TRAH ART: MAH | CAR 21", ("Jivema sharadah shatam")-may he live a hundred autumns.

He has not only lived years; he has filled them with purpose. Each phase of his journey reflects growth - as an enterprising individual, as a family pillar, and as a human being of strong character.

Personally, I am always influenced with his clarity of thought and steadfast courage and have learnt from it. No, actually still learning. Challenges never defined him; they refined him. His patience during difficult times and humility during successful ones have left a deep imprint on all of us who have had the privilege of walking alongside him, whether in Kalpataru or even otherwise.

To me, MPM sir represents a rare blend of tradition and progress-rooted in values, yet forward-looking in vision. His life teaches us that true achievement is not measured merely in milestones, but in the respect earned, the trust built, and the inspiration given to the next generation.

As I pen these thoughts for the Book 'AN ODE TO THE LEGEND', my heart is filled with gratitude. Gratitude for his guidance, for his silent sacrifices, and for the example he continues to set every single day.

I am professionally as well as personally enriched while working with him for almost 21 years. The enrichment is of values work with sincerity, remain humble in success, stand firm in adversity, and let your actions speak louder than words.

It is my privilege to say that in MPM sir - I have witnessed greatness, not only in grandeur, but also in character. And for that, I remain deeply inspired.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to respected Shri Mofatraj Sa Munot, the Chairman of Kalpataru Group for the invaluable guidance and personal inspiration he has extended to me.

Over time, I have had the privilege of learning not just about business excellence, but about institution-building with integrity & humility. His clarity of thought, risk taking appetite, decision-making ability in complex situations, and unwavering commitment to long-term value creation have deeply influenced me. One of my biggest personal learnings from him has been the importance of balancing ambition with prudence.

What truly amazes me is his extraordinary memory and his ability to recall minute details of projects, conversations, numbers, and commitments even years later. Coupled with that is his remarkable knack for going into the depth of every subject. Whether it is technical execution, financial structuring, compliance, or people matters, he has the discipline to dive deep, ask the right pointed questions, and ensure nothing is left to assumption. This attention to detail has taught me the importance of preparation, thoroughness and intellectual rigor in leadership.

I have also deeply admired his relentless quest for continuous innovation and uncompromising quality in everything we do. He constantly challenges the organization to improve i.e. to build better, design smarter, execute faster and never settle for mediocrity. His mindset reinforces that excellence is not an event but a habit but a culture that must be nurtured every single day.

Equally impactful has been his strong emphasis on governance, discipline and ethical conduct. He leads with quiet strength, demonstrating that sustainable success is built on credibility and consistency rather than short-term gains.

His strong push towards CSR and community development has also left a lasting impression on me. His belief that business must give back meaningfully to society not as a peripheral activity but as a core responsibility. Under his leadership, the commitment to social responsibility reflects genuine intent and long-term vision.

Though KPIL (and e-JMC) diversified into the water infrastructure sector in 2014, expanding beyond its core power and civil EPC businesses, however, the creation of Water Division was envisioned much prior to that by the honourable chairman. Following his vision, water business has been a key growth vertical, supporting large public infrastructure programs in India and select international markets.

Leading a major business unit comes with great responsibility. We face tough deadlines, complex challenges, and a constantly changing market. In these moments, the Chairman's leadership style has been my biggest guide. He has taught us that while business strategies may change, our core principles- integrity, quality, and trust-must never waver.

What I admire most is his ability to stay calm and focused. He does not look at a project just as a contract to be finished; he looks at the impact it will have on people's lives. He often reminds us that when we deliver a water project, we are not just laying pipes and creating infrastructure, but, we are serving the nation. This simple but powerful thought changes how my entire team approaches our work. It gives us a sense of purpose that goes beyond just making profit.

His energy and curiosity are truly inspiring. He challenges us to keep learning and to aim higher, but he always insists that we do it the right way-with honesty and humility.

Far more than an entrepreneur, he is a mentor, family-oriented individual, and principled leader, whose life proves that success built on integrity, patience, innovation, and compassion becomes a legacy that inspires generations.

He began in construction on a small scale with limited resources but limitless determination, firmly believing that strong foundations must come before scale, not just in business, but in values, and not merely as capital but as a symbol of courage, conviction, and honest work. For him, growth was never about speed or top lines; it was about stability, credibility, profitability, and endurance. From those humble beginnings, through decades of perseverance, discipline, and foresight, he built a large multinational engineering and construction organization respected across geographies. Yet, what truly defines him is not the scale of the enterprise, but the simplicity of the man behind it.

He embodies the rare philosophy of simple living and profound thinking, grounded, hardworking, and deeply humble, he leads with quiet strength and unwavering respect for people. For him, relationships have always mattered more than positions. He fosters a culture of equality where every voice is valued, encourages open dialogue, and listens patiently without ego or bias.

It reminds me of his words while he was seeing everyone off and when I touched his feet for blessings before departing for Saudi after attending the TLI International Conference in September '24 in Vietnam, "bahut badi jimmedari hai tujhpe..." Those simple words carried the weight of trust and purpose, echoing the voice of my father, whom I lost long ago. In that moment, I felt both responsibility and belonging, a quiet yet powerful reminder of who we are and why we must leave no stone unturned.

An innovative thinker by nature, he remains endlessly inquisitive, diving deep into every detail, especially in moments of expansion, eager to explore new technologies and adopt proven methods often long before they become industry standards.

It also reminds me of a moment during one of the QRMS after the Saudi Progress Review, when he shared his perspective with everyone: "Chalti train mein to sabhi sawar ho sakte hain..." a simple yet catalytic thought. In those few words lay a profound message: true character is revealed not when everything is already in motion, but when one must create momentum, take charge, and move the train forward. More than motivation, those words are a call to lead from the front and to rise when it matters most.

He believes progress is driven by continuous learning and that excellence begins with leadership. For him, the excellence of his leadership team is the excellence of the company itself.

His constant aspiration was how we can become the best company in the world!

Above all, he is a compassionate human being and a family-oriented person in every sense. He treats employees as extended family, values loyalty deeply, and balances professional excellence with strong personal values. To him, mistakes are not failures but opportunities for growth.

His words during the recent AOP at Almaty in April 2025, was deeply touching and profoundly human, when he said, "Mujhme jo bhi kuch achhai hai, woh meri wife ki wajah se hai." In that single sentence, he reminded us that true greatness lies in gratitude, humility, and emotional strength. It spoke volumes about his character, as a husband, a leader, a father, a grand-father and above all, being a human. On that very moment, he reminded us that true greatness lies in acknowledging those who stand behind our success.

Whether participating in birthdays, festivals, weddings, farewells, or small social gatherings, he finds joy in the simplest moments. He enjoys Shero-Shayari, carries an exceptional sense of humour, and often playfully pulls people's legs with a million-dollar smile that reflects the purity of his heart.

His life is a testament that greatness is not measured by power or wealth, but by character, compassion, and the lives one uplifts along the way.

Under his leadership, innovation is a responsibility to build smarter, safer, and more sustainable projects. He is uncompromising on quality and people's safety, quality is integrity, and no success is meaningful unless everyone returns home safe. These principles are core to our operations. Deeply philanthropic by heart, his contribution to society is quiet yet impactful, driven by gratitude, compassion, and a genuine desire to uplift lives. When the rest of the world believe on showing off the class on special occasions, we, at Kalpataru observe philanthropic week' on the 4th October to celebrate his birthday, based on his philanthropic philosophy profoundly rooted in gratitude with the belief that success carries a responsibility to give back to society.

He does not just build structures, he builds hope, and sustainable opportunities for the future generation known as Kalpataru Parivaar!

My interaction from Chairman started from my first interaction with Kalpataru Group and he has continued to motivate me through his energy, passion and curiosity in everything he does.

In one's career, we get an opportunity to work with a lot of Bosses and Managers but very few true leaders who are able to mould the listener / through their vision and clarity of thought. Chairman is one such person, who in his every interaction is able to help you learn more about the industry and at the same time challenges you to deliver more in your day- to-day work.

There are 3 key traits in our Chairman which I feel are absolutely unique:

Curiosity: I have always seen that when something new is put on a slide or mentioned to him in conversation, he spends time and energy in asking about it and learning more till he feels that he has understood it. He then always explores if the new idea or product offering can become a source of opportunity. This is sign of a great leader as it teaches that Learning is a continuous process for all of us.

Challenge oneself: The consistent vision that Chairman sets for Kalpataru is to be the best-in-class in whatever we are doing and always benchmark against the best. Hence he always encourages us to keep improving on a regular basis but at the same time aim for monumental shifts rather than incremental growth.

Empathy: I have seen Chairman interact with employees, families and external partners in a free frank and transparent manner. In our larger gatherings, he is often spotted interacting with people and asking hem about their job, role and family. This is again a quality which fosters the feeling of family within Kalpataru Group.

Chairman is a true inspiration for each, and every Kalpataru member and I wish him Good Health and Happiness.

Writing about MPM is never easy, because his impact is not merely described - it is experienced. Those who have worked alongside him may share different stories, yet the feeling they carry is always the same: deep respect, continuous learning, and quiet inspiration.

What stands out first is his simplicity. Despite the magnitude of responsibility he shoulders, he remains grounded and approachable. Conversations with him are genuine and meaningful-never distant, never performative. He believes in substance over display, and that quiet authenticity makes people feel at ease while inspiring them to give their very best.

His eye for detail is another defining trait. He sees beyond the obvious, patiently examining every angle before arriving at a decision. Nothing is hurried; nothing is assumed. Observing him at work teaches a powerful lesson - clarity emerges from thoughtful understanding, and excellence is born from meticulous attention.

Equally remarkable is his enduring zeal for work. Even at this stage of life, the energy and commitment he demonstrates each day are truly exemplary. He leads not through rhetoric, but through action-proving that discipline, focus, and passion know no age. His work ethic does not demand higher standards; it naturally elevates them.

Above all, he values people. He nurtures the organization like a family, where every individual matters. There is fairness in his leadership and genuine care for growth. People feel supported, guided, and constructively challenged - a rare balance that builds trust and lasting loyalty.

Over time, his influence transcends projects and achievements. It is reflected in the culture he has shaped - one rooted in integrity, responsibility, and mutual respect. For many of us, MPM is not just a leader, but a living example of what true leadership embodies: simplicity in conduct, consistency in action, and the ability to unite people with purpose.

He leads with a rare blend of Heart and Principle. His ethics are not situational, they are lived every single day. Watching his perfectionist mindset and meticulous attention to detail has quietly shaped my own way of this and working. He does not just set the standards- he embodies them.

Dearest Chairman Sir, To Our Guardian and Guide: Celebrating 81 Years of Grace

There are leaders who build empires of stone and steel, and then there are those rare souls, like you, who build empires of the heart. As you grace the milestone of 81 remarkable years, I find myself pausing to reflect on the profound impact you have had on my life and the lives of so many others.

A Sanctuary of Trust and Values:

You have created something far more sacred than a corporation; you have cultivated a sanctuary of trust. In a world that often demands silence and conformity, you gave us the freedom of expression and an open culture where our voices carry weight. You never looked at us through the cold lens of "owner and employee." Instead, you saw us as a family. You taught us that a company's true net worth is found in its values, and its greatest strength is the respect shown to every individual, regardless of their station.

Empowering the Spirit of Ownership:

I am eternally moved by the freedom you have bestowed upon us to run this journey as entrepreneurs. You didn't just give us a job; you gave us ownership of our destinies. By providing a clear vision and then stepping back to let us fly, you showed us a level of faith that is as rare as it is empowering. We don't work for you; we strive with you, fuelled by the professional and emotional connect you have so effortlessly nurtured.

A Legacy of Compassion for our Families:

Perhaps the most "touchy" and beautiful part of your leadership is how your shadow of protection extends far beyond the office walls. You have always cared for our extended families-our spouses, our children, our parents-as if they were your own kin. Knowing that our loved ones are seen and valued by you creates a bond of loyalty that words can hardly capture. You have honoured every stakeholder with grace, proving that business, when done right, is an act of love.

My Personal Reflection:

On this milestone birthday, my heart is full of sentiments that are hard to pen. Your life at 81 is a masterpiece of grace, humility, and wisdom. You are the silent strength in our toughest hours and the first to celebrate our smallest joys. You have taught me that true power lies in kindness, and true leadership is about serving those you lead.

Chairman Sir, may your 81st year be as luminous and beautiful as the legacy you have built. May you be blessed with vibrant health and the same peace you have brought into our lives.

Celebrating completion of 81 remarkable years of Vision, Values, and Inspiration

Founder, Kalpataru Group

A Tribute to our Chairman Sir Shri Mofatraj P. Munot

On the occasion of completion of our Chairman Shri Mofatraj P. Munot's remarkable 81 years, we come together not only to celebrate a milestone in years, but to honour a lifetime of vision, resilience, and purpose.

For each of us who is part of the Kalpataru Parivar, his journey is more than a corporate history - it is the foundation upon which our present stands and our future rises.

The Courage to Dream:

In 1969, when he laid the foundation of what would become the Kalpataru Group, the path ahead was uncertain. There were no guarantees, no established legacy to lean upon only conviction, integrity, and the courage to build something meaningful.

Through challenges, market cycles, and evolving landscapes, he demonstrated that true leadership is not about avoiding storms, but about navigating them with composure and clarity.

A Culture Built on Trust:

What distinguishes Kalpataru is not only the structures we build, but the values we uphold. Shri Munot Sir has always believed that reputation is earned project by project, promise by promise.

GET INSPIRED 2.0

He taught us that:

Integrity must never be compromised.

Quality is a responsibility, not a differentiator.

People are the true strength of any institution.

For employees across decades, his leadership has been defined by quiet strength-steady, thoughtful, and principled.

Leadership as Mentorship:

Over the years, as the Group expanded across real estate, power transmission, infrastructure, and global markets, his role evolved - from entrepreneur to institution-builder, from decision-maker to mentor.

He has consistently emphasized that an organization must outlive its founder, and that enduring success lies in nurturing the next generation of leaders. His trust in people has empowered thousands within the Group to take ownership, innovate, and grow.

A Life of Gratitude and Responsibility:

Even with remarkable achievements, his reflections remain rooted in humility. He often acknowledges that success is collective - built through teamwork, trust, and shared commitment.

Beyond business, his belief that prosperity carries social responsibility continues to inspire initiatives in education, healthcare, and community welfare. His example reminds us that true success is measured not only in growth, but in contribution.

An Enduring Legacy:

At 81, Shri Mofatraj P. Munot sir's legacy is visible not only in skylines and infrastructure, but in culture - in the values that guide our decisions, in the standards we uphold, and in the pride we feel in being part of this institution.

GET INSPIRED 2.0

As employees of the Kalpataru Parivar, we are custodians of that legacy.

On this special occasion, I express my deepest respect and heartfelt gratitude for his vision, his mentorship, and his unwavering belief in people.

His passion fuels momentum and inspires excellence in everything we do. His empathy ensures that growth never comes at the cost of people. For him, growth is not measured only in financial terms but in the strength of relationships and shared purpose.

Instead of responding impulsively, he shifted the focus to learning. He guided us to analyze the gaps, strengthen our review mechanisms, and develop more robust processes and capabilities to safeguard future projects.

A decade of association with Kalpataru has been a decade of learning under Shri MPM Sir. His knowledge flows far beyond books-quiet, deep, and guided by foresight. With a charismatic presence, an extraordinary memory, and unwavering accuracy, he leads not by command, but by example.

Like the Kalpataru he envisioned, an organization rooted in purpose and values, his leadership has helped lakhs of families find dignity, stability, and hope. Homes were not merely built; lives were enabled. While his vision has played a meaningful role in shaping the organization and contributing to the growth of the Indian economy, these achievements feel almost secondary to the human impact they have created.

At the heart of this journey lies a set of values he lives by every day-humility in success, fairness in decision-making, and genuine concern for the well- being of everyone around him. He leads without noise and influences without force. He listens deeply, speaks thoughtfully, and acts with clarity. In an environment often driven by speed and scale, his calm steadiness serves as a constant reminder that people must always come before processes, and purpose must always come before profit.

He is the quiet force that binds us together-the unseen strength that gives the organization its character and conscience. A man who saw tomorrow early, he has always embraced change, innovation, and technology, yet never at the cost of the human touch. For him, progress is meaningful only when it uplifts people. "Impossible" is not a limitation, but an invitation-to think more creatively, care more deeply, and act more responsibly.

Being part of this journey has been both grounding and inspiring. It has reinforced the belief that real success is not measured only by growth charts or milestones achieved, but by trust earned, values upheld, and lives touched along the way. I feel deeply grateful to be associated with an institution where leadership is humane, vision is purposeful, and success is defined as much by compassion as by accomplishment.

Humility & Grounded Leadership:

What strikes me most about our Chairman, Shri Mofatraj Munot, is his humility. Despite decades of experience and an unparalleled legacy in the construction industry, he remains remarkably down to earth. His simplicity in conduct and approachability make every interaction meaningful. In an industry often driven by scale and stature, his humility is a reminder that true leadership is rooted in grace and respect for people.

The Man of Construction | Iron Man of the Industry:

I often refer to him as the "Man of Construction", or more aptly, the "Iron Man of the Construction Industry." His contribution is not limited to building structures; he has helped build the very ecosystem of construction solutions. For him, construction is not about plain sales it is about delivering the right solution to our honorable customers. This philosophy has deeply influenced how we, as Kalpataru professionals, think, act, and serve.

Unmatched Experience & Sharp Memory:

His experience is vast, but what is equally inspiring is his sharp and remarkable memory. He remembers people, conversations, and details with astonishing clarity. It is truly humbling that he remembers employees by name and department, even if he has met them just once. This personal touch creates a sense of belonging and pride that no policy or process can replicate.

Watching him operate with such enthusiasm motivates us to push boundaries, take ownership, and deliver beyond expectations. His energy is infectious it sets the pace for the entire organization.

People-Centric Vision & Emotional Connect:

Beyond strategy and execution, what truly defines him is his people- centric approach. He values individuals, respects effort, and believes in collective growth. This emotional connect with people has built not just a company, but a family-like culture within Kalpataru. It instills a sense of responsibility in us, not just to perform, but to perform with integrity and heart.

Personal Inspiration:

For me personally, Sh. MPM is a source of constant inspiration. His life and leadership reinforce the belief that success and humility can coexist, that sharp business acumen can go hand in hand with compassion, and that legacy is built not only through projects, but through people. He inspires me and many like me to strive harder, stay grounded, and contribute meaningfully to the organization and the industry at large.

As I complete five years at Kalpataru Projects International Limited (KPIL), I find myself reflecting with deep gratitude on what has truly been a transformative journey-both professionally and personally.

I joined KPIL in February 2021, during the peak of the second COVID wave. It was a time filled with uncertainty, disruption, and anxiety across the world. I remember carrying my own share of apprehensions and self- doubt as I stepped into a new organization in such challenging circumstances. Yet, amidst all that uncertainty, one thought gave me immense reassurance-the opportunity to work closely with our revered Chairman, a distinguished industry leader whose reputation and stature are unmatched.

From my very first day, I experienced his warmth, generosity of spirit, and genuine interest in people. Beyond his visionary leadership and strategic clarity, what has touched me most personally is his kindness and his unwavering faith in his team. He has an extraordinary ability to instil confidence, often seeing potential in us even before we see it in ourselves.

His humility, simplicity, and deeply rooted ethical values are not just qualities we admire-they are values we strive to emulate. He leads quietly yet powerfully, through example rather than instruction. In my several interactions with him, I have witnessed not only a brilliant business mind but also a deeply spiritual and principled human being. His command over technical and strategic matters is exceptional, but what makes it truly remarkable is the grace and patience with which he shares his knowledge.

Over these five years, I have personally benefited from his mentorship, encouragement, and thoughtful advice. There have been moments of challenge and learning, and in each of those moments, his guidance has provided clarity and strength. I genuinely feel fortunate to have worked under such inspiring leadership.

The values he embodies form the very essence of the Kalpataru DNA. His legacy is not just in the projects we build, but in the people we become.

Who knows about him better than me?

Here is small tribute to Shri Mofatraj ji on 81st birthday.

From humble beginnings to an inspiring legacy, the journey of Kalpataru Projects is a shining example of what true vision, integrity, and leadership can achieve. His journey started in 1971 as Kalpataru construction in Mumbai, worked as contractor in Sharjah, Dubai, then acquired small fabrication unit in 1981 at a modest less than $2 million annual revenue in Gandhinagar- India which has now grown into a $2 billion EPC powerhouse, spanning 70 countries, touching lives, building nations, and setting benchmarks across industries.

At the heart of this incredible transformation stands a great visionary-a leader not only known for his strategic brilliance and entrepreneurial spirit but also for his unwavering commitment to ethical, moral, and human values. In an age where success is often measured in numbers alone, he chose to build a company where trust, transparency, and compassion were just as important as growth.

With foresight that saw beyond the immediate, and a heart rooted in values, he laid the foundation of a company that would not just deliver projects, but build lasting impact. His ability to select right person for right job, inspire people, nurture talent, and lead by example has left an indelible mark on everyone who has been part of the Kalpataru journey.

As we look at the towering success of Kalpataru today, we are reminded that true greatness lies not just in building empires, but in doing so with dignity, grace, and a deep sense of purpose.

Here's to the visionary who didn't just build a company-he built a legacy.

What makes Chairman Sir truly special is not just his achievements, but the values he lives by. His journey reflects resilience, vision, clarity of thought and a deep commitment to excellence. Under his leadership, the organization has grown not only in scale but also in strength of values, guided by integrity, discipline and long-term thinking.

To our beloved and the most respected Leader, MPM Sir:

As I reflect on my journey over the past ten years, I feel deeply grateful for the privilege of working under your guidance. It has been one of the greatest blessings of my professional life to witness your leadership, resilience, and vision from such close quarters. Being a part of your team and the Kalpataru Parivar is something I truly cherish!

Your remarkable journey spanning decades in the Real Estate and Infrastructure sectors fills me with immense pride. The dedication, passion, and integrity with which you have built and nurtured this organization are truly inspiring. You are among the rare leaders who have created a global group of companies through both organic and inorganic growth-an achievement that reflects not only strategic brilliance but also extraordinary perseverance.

There are certain qualities of yours that have profoundly influenced me:

Your visionary foresight-your ability to anticipate long-term shifts and trends in our sectors, and your relentless push toward innovation, mechanization, and automation-has always kept us ahead of the curve.

Your strategic depth-whether it is geopolitics or identifying new white spaces for growth within our businesses-you are always thinking several steps ahead of all of us.

GET INSPIRED 2.0

Your unwavering commitment to customer experience -visible right from the design stage of our projects-reflects your deep understanding of families, communities, and society at large.

Your pursuit of excellence-your belief that progress begins with accepting our gaps and that stagnation sets in when we assume there is no room for improvement-has stayed with me as a guiding principle.

Your genuine love and care for every member of the Kalpataru Parivar is evident in every interaction, every address, and every gathering. You make each one of us feel valued.

Your dedication to giving back to society, despite an incredibly demanding schedule, is a powerful example for all of us. You consistently remind us that success carries responsibility.

And most importantly, your accessibility in our hours of need is something I deeply admire. No matter how busy you are, you are always there to guide, support, and reassure. That presence makes all the difference.

I would like to express my feelings through a small shayari:

A Journey of Belonging and Inspiration

I joined the Kalpataru Group on 3rd July 2018 after spending nearly 20 years in my previous organization, where I had started my career as a Trainee. Having grown within one institution for two decades, moving out truly felt like leaving home. I felt unsettled and uncertain almost as if I was starting life all over again.

But what transformed that uncertainty into confidence was the culture shaped and nurtured by our respected Chairman Sir.

In my earlier organization, the Chairman's office was distant and strongly hierarchy-driven. So when I was told that I would need to meet Chairman Sir here, I was honestly nervous. I wondered how I would face such a respected and accomplished personality.

However, the very first meeting changed everything.

The warmth in his presence immediately removed all hesitation. He made me feel comfortable, valued, and heard. His humility, simplicity, and grounded nature left a deep impression on me. There was no air of authority only dignity, clarity, and strong values. What stands out equally is his easy accessibility. Despite his stature, anyone can approach him. That openness itself builds trust and confidence across the organization.

What continues to amaze me is his unmatched memory. He can retrieve project details, numbers, past discussions, and context with astounding

ease. His discipline and hardworking nature are truly inspiring. His energy, focus, and commitment set a benchmark for all of us.

from engineering to The depth of his knowledge is extraordinary business strategy, from organizational growth to spirituality. You can sit with him for hours and still feel there is so much more to learn. Yet what makes him exceptional is the simplicity with which he explains even the most complex ideas.

His constant focus on "Why" has deeply influenced the way I think and work. It pushes me to look for purpose, clarity, and logic behind every action. It has made me more thoughtful, objective, and responsible in my approach.

For me, he is not just our Chairman Sir - he is a guiding force. A visionary leader who builds institutions and shapes people. His leadership creates belonging. His values create trust. His presence creates confidence.

I feel deeply grateful and proud to be part of an organization shaped by such an inspiring and remarkable human being.

Wishing Chairman Sir enduring good health and everlasting inspiration.

Respected Chairman Sir, Congratulation on completing 81 remarkable years.

On this remarkable occasion, we celebrate not merely the passage of years, but the enduring legacy of visionary, values-driven leadership you have built over decades. Your energy, strategic clarity, and disciplined focus remain a powerful source of inspiration for all of us. You demonstrate every day that true leadership is not defined by age, but by purpose, conviction, and the courage to think long term.

Beyond performance metrics and growth targets, you have consistently reminded us that ethics is the true foundation of sustainability. Your counsel has reinforced that integrity, teamwork, mutual respect, quality excellence, and unwavering customer focus are non-negotiable pillars in building a lasting organization. The culture of Ownership Mindset, Operational Excellence, and People Excellence that defines us today is a direct reflection of the standards you have set and the example you continue to lead by.

You have not merely built a business but you have built an institution. An institution grounded in trust, empowered by its people, strengthened by governance, and driven by continuous innovation.

As we move forward in an increasingly dynamic and disruptive environment, we reaffirm our commitment to stay focused, to innovate responsibly, to build future-ready capabilities, and to uphold the ethical compass you have instilled in us. Your journey also inspires us to pause and reflect that institutions endure when they are built on character, when leaders invest in people, and when growth is pursued with conscience.

In the past ten years in KPIL and JMC, I have personally learned the below five attributes from beloved and respected Chairman which guides me on the right path whenever I feel discouraged due to failures and complicated challenges. They are my roles and deliverables.

1. Understand patiently and clearly the real intent of the stakeholders whom you deal with 2. Trust the people on the basis of their real effort and honesty / transparency not necessarily on the basis of Results always.

3. Keep learning from everywhere and everyone and upgrade your thinking process to real time.

4. Dont decide and act on the basis of assumptions. Always seek data and objective evidence.

5. Dont fight with your customer even if he is not right but dont compromise on your rights on contractual claims.

It has been two years since my first encounter with our Chairman, Mr. Mofatraj Munot. Joining Kalpataru-KPIL as Senior Vice President, I expected to meet a corporate titan; instead, I met a mentor whose leadership is defined by an extraordinary blend of precision, discipline, and deep-rooted empathy.

The Power of Presence and Precision:

My journey began with a two-hour interview that spanned everything from financial metrics to a shared love for books. What struck me most wasn't just the depth of his questions, but his focus and attention to detail. When I returned fifteen days later, he produced the same handwritten sheet from our first meeting. It was a subtle yet powerful lesson: in MPM sir's world, every detail matters, every word is recorded, and integrity is non-negotiable.

A Culture of Quality: "The Hand-Washing Lesson"

During a site visit to Hyderabad, the Chairman's eye for detail was on full display. Spotting spilled gypsum on a scaffold, he challenged a Project Manager's delay in cleaning it out with a simple, stinging analogy: "Do we wash our hands after every meal, or only at the end of the day?"

That moment crystalized his philosophy. To MPM sir, quality isn't a task to be checked off at the end of a project; it is a continuous habit. Whether it was the finish of a column or the pricing strategy of our villas, his ability to recall numbers and judge quality instantaneously is a masterclass in operational excellence.

GET INSPIRED 2.0

Vision for a Future-Ready Kalpataru:

In our QRM, the Chairman's vision remains unwavering. His goal is not to be the largest organisation in respective field, but to be the No. 1 choice for customers in terms of quality and safety. He constantly pushes us toward:

⚫ Innovation: Accelerating slab cycles through mechanization and digitization.

⚫ Sustainability: Reducing reliance on manual labor to make the organization future-ready.

• Integrity: Ensuring stakeholders are paid on time and the best products are used.

The Humane Leader:

Beyond the balance sheets, the "Humane Side" of MPM sir is what truly inspires. His insistence on providing quality breakfast and superior accommodation for our labor force shows a leader who respects the dignity of every worker. Furthermore, his refusal to hire "foul-mouthed" candidates, regardless of their seniority, underscores the ethical culture he has painstakingly built.

Final Reflection:

Working under Mr. Mofatraj Munot is more than a professional milestone; I believe it is a divine opportunity. He is a "tall leader" in the truest sense-guiding Kalpataru toward sustainable growth while remaining grounded in values. I offer my profound wishes and prayers for his continued health, happiness, and success.

It's amazing to see that some individuals have extraordinary qualities which is why they stand out from the crowd and are called leaders. Chairman Munot sir is one such unique leader with conviction who has been inspiring thousands of Project professionals like me. Before joining KPIL in 2024, as an outsider, I have been following Chairman Sir, his vision, KPIL growth story and winning streak in new arenas. Upon becoming part of KPIL family in January 2024, I got an opportunity to know more about his leadership, strategic-direction and business acumen. September 2024 during IBC-Vietnam, I got the best opportunity to be present in the same event for 4 days which was chaired by him. Chairman sir's energy, enthusiasm and dedication in interacting with about 100 KPIL family members over four long days including the sightseeing events is something I have been admiring and would continue to admire for a long time to come. I pray that he continues to remain in good health in the years to come so that he can guide us to achieve many more milestones for KPIL.

Your understanding of not only business and financial dynamics but also cultural and geopolitical landscapes reflect the depth and breadth of your wisdom. What inspires me most is the way you seamlessly integrate values with strategy. Your understanding over cultural nuances, financial prudence, and global perspectives demonstrates a rare balance of intellect and insight. Your leadership does not merely guide the organization; it shapes its character and direction for generations to come.

Your energy, sharpness, and continued engagement are profoundly motivating. You exemplify how experience, when combined with vision and integrity, becomes a powerful force for transformation.

When reflecting on Chairman Sir, what resonates most profoundly is his unwavering steadiness and quiet strength. True leadership is never defined solely by title or position, but by the grace, integrity, and responsibility with which that role is carried. These qualities are not only evident in his leadership-they are the foundation of it.

Leadership reveals its true character in moments of complexity and uncertainty. Chairman Sir approaches such moments with remarkable composure and clarity. He listens with intention, considers diverse perspectives with respect, and makes decisions guided by thoughtful judgment and long-term vision. In doing so, he reinforces a culture of trust and confidence, reminding us that enduring success is built on patience, principle, and perspective.

Equally inspiring is his deep regard for people. He understands that an organization's true strength lies in its individuals-their commitment, their innovation, and their shared sense of purpose. By fostering collaboration, encouraging thoughtful dialogue, and recognizing contributions at every level, he cultivates an environment where excellence is not demanded but inspired. His leadership affirms that when people feel respected and empowered, they bring forward their very best.

On a personal level, Chairman Sir's example serves as a powerful reminder that leadership is, at its core, an act of service. It is demonstrated through consistency, humility, and accountability. It is reflected not in grand gestures, but in steady example. Through his conduct, he sets a standard that transcends formal achievements and speaks to character above all.

It is my privilege to express my reflections and experiences with our Chairman Sir. Although I have had the opportunity to interact with him for a relatively short duration over the past two years, his magnanimity, vision, and deep insights across various domains have made the experience truly enriching and one that will leave a lasting impact on me.

I can never forget his personal advice to me, which had a profound impact and transformed my approach toward engaging with stakeholders at KPIL. When I was facing positioning challenges as a lateral entrant new to the organization, Chairman Sir advised me with a smile, "Be like a flower, full of fragrance, so that everyone can embrace you."

I realized then that he himself embodies a bouquet of flowers, possessing diverse qualities and attributes that make him one of the finest industry leaders our country has and, above all, a wonderful human being. As such, I am summarizing some of his greatest qualities, which has always inspired us:

1. Ability to Resolve Complex Issues

I feel truly inspired by our Chairman Sir's visionary leadership, dedication, and humility. What stands out most is his ability to guide everyone with wisdom while remaining approachable and supportive. The ease with which he understands complex issues and provides practical solutions is remarkable. He makes you feel like he is Santa Claus with a bag full of solutions, always ready to resolve even the most challenging situations.

GET INSPIRED 2.0

With his vast experience and deep interest in contractual and legal matters, I have found great comfort and confidence in his ability to provide guidance in dealing with contractual challenges. His remarkable ability to recall legal precedents and facts from several decades ago purely from memory is truly commendable and has often left me in awe.

3. Focus on Innovation and Continuous Improvement

He consistently guides the organization to ensure that we do not lag behind our peers due to a lack of innovation or failure to adopt the latest technologies and trends. His passion for quality is reflected in every direction he conveys to his colleagues. The landmark projects executed by KPIL stand as a testament to his unwavering commitment to quality and innovation.

4. A Corporate Saint

Besides being a successful entrepreneur, an industry leader, and a connoisseur of excellence across every organizational function, be it Finance, Contracts, Operations, Law, or Management, he remains one of the most humble and admirable human beings I have ever encountered. His human touch, combined with integrity, makes him truly exceptional, almost a CORPORATE SAINT.

5. A Man of Integrity and Strong Ethical Values

Our Chairman Sir has always inspired the organization to uphold strong ethical values. While making exorbitant claims may be an industry practice, he has consistently advised us to seek only what is genuine and legitimately due from the client, avoiding unnecessary or inflated claims. His emphasis on fairness and integrity sets a powerful example for all of us.

I sincerely wish that our Chairman Sir continues to spread his fragrance of knowledge, humility, and guidance for many more years to come.

One of the most inspiring aspects of working under MPM (as we fondly refer to him) Sir's leadership is the deep sense of purpose and compassion he brings to everything we do-especially in the sphere of social responsibility. His philanthropic outlook is not rooted in distant ideology, but in a sincere understanding of grassroots realities. He has often reminded us that access to quality education, healthcare, and dignity of opportunity remains a challenge for many, and this clarity continues to shape our CSR vision with authenticity and humaneness.

In my role leading CSR for the Group, I have seen firsthand how MPM Sir's commitment translates into meaningful action. His attention to detail is remarkable-not just in strategy, but in the way he observes, questions, and improves the systems around us.

One of the most transformative examples of this has been the work we undertook in revamping the large-scale school infrastructure under his guidance. What began as a project to repair the basics evolved into a complete transformation, because he pushed us to think beyond aesthetics-to create safe, enabling, and joyful learning spaces that instill confidence in every child who walks in. His eye for detail ensured the overall facility reflected dignity and aspiration.

MPM Sir also holds a deeply progressive view on what education truly means. He often emphasizes that not every student will excel academically-but every child has talent, potential, and the capacity to build a meaningful livelihood. His belief that skills and employability matter just as much as grades has encouraged us to design programs that equip young people with practical, hands-on capabilities, giving them a fair chance to be gainfully employed and self-reliant.

Among the many reflections that have stayed with me, one stands out vividly. He once shared how each employee within our Company should mentor at least one team member. He described mentorship not as a top- down process, but as a two-way exchange-where the mentor learns as much as the mentee. It was a simple thought, yet it captured the essence of his leadership: growth through human connection, humility, and shared learning.

MPM Sir's perspective continues to inspire me every single day. His leadership reminds me that true impact-whether within the Company or in society-begins with empathy, vision, and the willingness to empower others. His example encourages, not just me but all of us to bring purpose into our decisions, integrity into our actions, and compassion into our service!

It is rare in one's professional life to meet a leader whose presence leaves a lasting imprint from the very first meeting. My interaction with our Chairman began as what I expected to be a brief, formal interview. Instead, it unfolded into an hour-long, lively and deeply engaging conversation. He did not begin with designations, targets, or strategy. He began with me- my formative years, and patiently walked with me through decades of life's journey. At a stage when many organizations quietly place age as an unspoken limit, he broke that barrier with conviction and entrusted me with leading a new business opportunity for the company. That decision reflects the essence of his wisdom: valuing capability over convention, potential over perception.

In the boardroom, his depth of knowledge has always been striking. His command over fundamentals is immense, yet he carries it with humility. He connects effortlessly with people at every level, remaining grounded and employee-friendly. He fosters two-way communication, ensuring conversations are open, constructive, and positive. Ideas are not merely heard-they are encouraged.

Above all, he leads with composure and grace. His calm confidence reassures, his encouragement uplifts, and his belief in people empowers them to perform beyond their own expectations.

He is a leader worthy of admiration, not only for what he has built, but for how he builds people. As we look ahead, I wholeheartedly wish him and KALPATARU continued growth and success in all future endeavours.

Twelve years ago, on his 70th Birthday, I had expressed my thoughts and deep respect for this visionary on the same platform, without ever realizing that I would go on to complete 46 years of my life still working with this great persona - MPM.

It was in July 1980 that I joined Mr. Kataria in Sharjah, UAE, who was already working with Eastern Contracting Company. I can never forget my very first day - 15th July 1980, when I received a call from Eastern Contracting Company, informing me that the Managing Director, Mofatraj P Munot (MPM), would like to meet me. I was scared to death when I entered his cabin. There he was, this great personality, seated right at the center of his massive office. He asked me to sit down and, in his strong husky voice, asked, "What do you know about work?" With nervousness, I replied honestly - "Nothing" After asking me a few more questions, he simply said, "Okay, you will work for me."

From that day till today, the journey has been filled with countless learnings - mistakes, scolding, tears, and many ups and downs in work and life. But through it all, one thing never changed - he never gave up on teaching me.

With the passage of time, I have known him more closely-beyond the visionary, beyond the leader. Each passing year has revealed a man of unwavering principles, quiet strength, and profound humanity. His consistency in values, deep thinking, clarity of thought, and genuine concern for people have only deepened my respect and strengthened my commitment.

My journey with this great persona, fondly known as MPM, has been truly wonderful and I feel truly privileged and immensely proud to be a part of his journey-a part of Kalpataru.

MPM is also very fond of sher-o-shayari, also reflecting his deeply emotional & expressive personality. Lovers of shayari are generally tender-hearted.

Having newly joined Kalpataru Real Estate Division, I was studying a parcel of land from the existing land bank. Due to several mutations carried out over the years, a portion of the land we were assuming to be ours, in my opinion wasn't a correct assessment. The matter was discussed by me at several levels including my colleagues, bosses and our partner and my study was met with great resistance at every level, until I presented my papers to the Chairman. His adaptability to the change in the situation was almost like a reflex. He instantaneously studied the findings and was immediately onto the next step, in respect of the action to be taken. This difference in approach left a lasting impression on me in those early days.

The list of adjectives in his praise over the years has grown exponentially. An amazing listener, when required, his perseverance, and dedication to resolving a contentious issue is exemplary. He is amazingly meticulous himself, and he expects no less from all working with him. His memory and hard work continue to astound all and his just and fair nature is an inspiration. But highest amongst all, is his ability to keep his eye focused on the ever-moving cheese in our dynamic ever-changing world.

Sir, it is an honour to have worked with you. Yesterday, today and always.

I have had little but very meaningful Interaction with our Chairman which in itself speaks volumes about the depth he holds.

As an HR person I got to sit in one of the interviews he was going to take. I cannot believe that at the age of 80 he was writing down (actually scribbling on the resume) the response of candidate. I have not seen many seniors write down comments of the interviews. I was stunned to see this. Because of his meticulous approach, he was able to dig into some observations which we had missed completely. It was a "WOW" moment for me, and my heart was filled with more respect than ever.

His rebukes (I have been fortunate to get a few of them) have always been principle oriented and very meaningful. What else can I say of a personality who towers way above all.

I was in touch with one of his friends from the past and he shared one thing which again goes to reflect his simplicity. They used to stay together in a hotel on some visit. At that time our Chairman was a fairly successful businessman, but at the hotel he never used the laundry services. He always insisted on washing his clothes, himself.

A Partner, A Mentor, An Institution

I first met Shri Mofatraj Ji in October 2004, when we began exploring the possibility of joining hands. My very first impression of him was striking - courteous, confident and full of clarity. He has a rare gift for making people feel instantly at home. From the first moment, this felt like the right partnership.

What brought us together, above everything else, was an alignment of values and culture.

For nearly fifteen years, I had the privilege of sitting beside him in board meetings and reviews. Working with him was like being enrolled in a living MBA. His patience, his perseverance and his ability to dive deep into any subject is remarkable. Even late in the evening, at eight or nine o'clock, his energy level was intact. He is extremely hard working and totally committed to his business goals. For him, people are his greatest asset. They are well respected and adequately rewarded. The office culture is driven by a professional approach and performance driven.

I found him extremely sensitive when it came to senior level recruitment. He would give full justice to the interviews and was always eager to learn from the experiences of others. He would ask questions till he was fully satisfied. He would not simply depend on HR feedback. He would also parallelly do his own homework to check credibility of prospective candidates. His talent for placing the right person in the right role is extraordinary.

In review meetings, he would remember precisely what was discussed in the last review and focus on key pain areas. He would ensure holding all top level executives including himself to the highest standard of accountability. He always led by example.

On a personal level, I learnt to view projects and business through a commercial angle with strict controls.

He is, in every sense, an institution in himself. I wish him great health, happiness and continued success on the journey ahead.

It was around the year of 2004 that I met Shri Mofatraj ji. Even before meeting him, word had reached me of a visionary businessman, an inspiring real estate magnet and a dedicated construction contractor, who in the beginning of his career had the opportunity to build the palace of the ruler of Sharjah.

As time passed, my husband Hemant Modi and business partner Suhas Joshi merged their company "JMC Projects (India) Limited." with Mofatrajji's company' Kalpataru' (KPTL). I had more opportunities to interact and understand Shri Mofatrajji.

Apart from his work related habits, two things impressed me the most. The first being his love for Gujarati literature especially poetry and Gajhals. The second was his quiet, consistent commitment to society, a generosity that never sought the spotlight.

Beyond this, his deep interest in Jainism has always motivated us and taught us the understanding of religion in depth. Hemant and I both feel blessed not only to know a humble, sincere and successful businessman but also respect him as a great human being.

Saluting 81 Years of Inspirational Leadership...

On the Occasion of Shri Mofatraj Munot Sir 81st Birthday...

It is a matter of immense pleasure and pride that our beloved Chairman, Shri Mofatraj Munot Sir, completes 81 remarkable years of an inspiring journey. As Kalpataru publishes the second edition of "GET - Inspired 2.0", my heart is filled with gratitude and cherished memories.

In 2014, on the occasion of Sir's 70th birthday, Kalpataru published the first edition of "Get - Inspired." I was privileged to be a member of the editorial committee under the mentorship of our respected MD, Late Shri K. V. Mani Sir, and Shri M. A. Baraiya Sir. During the preparation of the book, I spent three memorable days at Kalpataru Synergy, Mumbai, meeting Directors and gathering insights for the articles. That journey shaped me deeply as a writer and as a professional.

The most unforgettable moment was when I had the opportunity to personally meet our Chairman in his chamber, along with his secretary Ms. Kamal Katariya. He warmly welcomed and greeted me. Being associated with various KPIL functions, he recognizes me personally and affectionately addresses me as "Mr. Thorat." That simple gesture reflects his humility and graciousness.

During our last meeting at Kalpataru Synergy on the occasion of the Quality Meet, I had the honor of presenting him a plant as a symbol of the Kalpataru tree. He appreciated the gesture wholeheartedly. His personality is truly remarkable-kind, down-to-earth, and respectful toward every member of KPIL, irrespective of position.

His constant emphasis on delivering the best quality in every business vertical inspires all of us.

Beyond business excellence, Sir's deep involvement in social service is truly commendable. The installation of an MRI machine at a token fee at Kalpaseva Aarogya Center reflects his compassion and commitment to society.

One of the golden moments of my life was during his 70th birthday celebrations at the Gandhinagar plant, where a blood donation camp was organized. It was my 50th blood donation, and Sir personally presented me with a certificate and memento. That day will forever remain special in my life. He also graciously gave me his autograph on the first edition of "Get - Inspired," which I proudly preserve in my personal library.

Sir, your leadership, humility, and vision continue to inspire generations at KPIL.

Wishing you a very Happy 81st Birthday. May your journey of inspiration continue to guide us all.

A Legacy of Principled Leadership - Mr. Mofatraj Munot at 81

Kalpotsav 2026 marks the 81st year of our Chairman, Mr. Mofatraj Munot. It feels less like a formal milestone and more like a moment of collective gratitude for the creative and architectural force behind Kalpataru Projects International Limited. Having had the privilege of serving as Managing Director and reporting directly to him, I have been fortunate to observe up close the quiet blend of vision, discipline, hard work, and integrity that shapes his leadership.

During my tenure, the organisation went through a period of meaningful strategic evolution, expanding its international presence while also becoming more process and systems driven to improve efficiency and transparency. In the midst of these demanding transitions, Mr. Munot remained a reassuring source of clarity and steadiness. His approach to governance has always reflected a rare balance, a strong grasp of operational detail alongside an ambitious long-term view of where the organisation could and should go.

He often reminded us that the strength of a corporation is not defined by its balance sheet alone, but by its values, ethical convictions, and its genuine commitment to people and customers. Under his guidance, words like Quality, Customer Focus, and Integrity gradually moved beyond

What makes his leadership especially distinctive is his style of deep empathy paired with exacting standards. He set high expectations, yet he was equally invested in ensuring people had the support and confidence to meet them. He carries an instinctive understanding of human potential and recognises that Kalpataru's growth is closely tied to the personal and professional growth of its people. For many of us, his journey has served as a quiet blueprint for professional conduct. It reminds us that enduring success takes patience, consistency, and the ability to build institutions that outlast individual tenures.

The unveiling of GET - Inspired 2.0 feels like a continuation of a living legacy rather than a single event. Mr. Munot's influence extends well beyond the infrastructure we have created. It lives in the culture of excellence, responsibility, and pride that continues to guide the organisation.

Mr. Chairman, on behalf of those who have had the opportunity to work alongside you over the years, thank you for your steady guidance and unwavering vision. May your wisdom continue to light Kalpataru's path for many years to come.

Reflecting on a journey that began in 2004 during the KPTL-JMC merger discussions, I clearly remember a pivotal conference call with Mofatraj ji, fondly known as MPM. His primary focus was not merely the transaction itself, but ensuring that we, the existing promoters, continued to lead the company with the same passion, dedication, and drive that had always defined our work.

That understanding laid the foundation for a strong and enduring partnership. Over the past 10 years, we have witnessed remarkable growth, scaling from *300 crore to *2,500 crore. Beyond these impressive milestones, what truly made this journey seamless was the alignment of our values-rooted in faith, built on relationships, and guided by a long- term strategic vision.

On the occasion of his 81st birthday, I extend my sincere wishes to MPM for continued good health, prosperity, and a life filled with happiness and blessings in the years ahead.

As a team, we learned a great deal from his vast knowledge and astute leadership. He is a visionary with a farsighted approach and a positive mindset. In addition, I found him to be a kind and considerate personality who genuinely cares for his employees in all spheres.

Whatever he and his organization have achieved today is the result of his unwavering dedication and unfettered way of working-not only for the growth of the organization but also for contributing to nation-building as a whole. His guidance and positive approach toward building strong teams across diverse business domains are truly commendable.

It is a privilege to share my memories and experiences with Mofatraj Munot (affectionately known as MPM) on his 81st birthday. I extend my heartfelt wishes for his continued health and fulfilment in the years ahead.

My journey with MPM began in 2008, when I was heading the project division at ABB in NCR. Unexpectedly, I received an invitation to meet the Chairman of KPTL (now KPIL) in Mumbai, despite my limited transmission industry experience.

During our first meeting, I was captivated by MPM's profound industry knowledge, which he conveyed with remarkable simplicity and practicality. Subsequent discussions, including one at his home, revealed his visionary ambition to make KPTL globally competitive by embracing ERP systems and exploring new business avenues-an exciting prospect that resonated with me.

I joined KPTL in June 2006, at a time when the company was focused primarily on Domestic Transmission tower and Electric distribution projects. Although an ERP system had previously been abandoned due to operational challenges, MPM offered unwavering support for my proposal to implement a comprehensive SAP system. Despite past setbacks, his encouragement ensured the successful adoption of SAP across all divisions, dramatically boosting productivity. KPTL became a pioneer in the transmission sector by operationalizing every SAP module in record time.

GET INSPIRED 2.0

MPM's hands-on leadership was instrumental in accelerating distribution projects, especially when clients were pressing us to push for progress. His personal involvement and assurance to customers transformed KPTL into a high-performing organization, earning client satisfaction and trust.

On the business development front, MPM enthusiastically supported expansion into substation and railway markets. His motivating guidance, even when margins were low, opened new revenue streams and established these divisions which are now part of significant contributors to KPIL's growth.

Similarly, when a proposal was given to enter the BOOT (Build-Own- Operate-Transfer) business for transmission systems, MPM's wholehearted supported this initiative leading to entry of KPTL in first BOOT project in Haryana, which was commissioned on schedule and paved the way for many similar successes.

A testament to MPM's vision was his decision to establish a greenfield transmission tower manufacturing unit in Raipur, Chhattisgarh. From land acquisition to plant commissioning, his guidance overcame numerous challenges, ensuring the project's completion.

MPM's fundamental mentoring, practical approach, and supportive leadership have been a blessing for KPIL, driving exponential growth. Personally, I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from him during my four plus-year journey with KPIL, and I remain indebted for his mentorship.

Once again, I wish Mr. Mofatraj Munot a very happy birthday and pray for his robust health and his inspiring guidance to KPIL for its continued growth.

A PERSONAL TRIBUTE TO A VISIONARY AND REMARKABLE LEADER - SHRI MOFATRAJ PMUNOT

Having had the privilege of serving KPIL from 2006 to 2022, including my tenure as President - International Business (2012-2021) and thereafter as an Advisor, I had the invaluable opportunity to interact closely with S/MPM on numerous strategic and operational matters. Those interactions left a lasting impression on me, not merely as a professional, but as a student in the field of leadership.

What always stood out was his extraordinary ability to go into the finest details. Whether the matter concerned complex project technicals, financial structuring, or people related issue, he would immerse himself fully - asking incisive questions that reflected both comprehension and clarity of thought. This sharp attention to detail was complemented by an equally powerful ability to listen patiently, assimilate diverse viewpoints and then provide direction that was both pragmatic and visionary.

Discipline defined his approach. Meetings were purposeful, reviews were thorough and commitments were sacred. His insistence on integrity and honesty in every business decision created a culture where ethical conduct was not optional but foundational. In challenging environments, especially across international markets, where Kalpataru operated and GET INSPIRED 2.0

competed with Global Players, the unwavering moral compass gave the organisation immense credibility and strength.

Equally admirable was his humanitarian outlook. While deeply committed to performance and results, he never lost sight of the human element. His empathy towards employees, particularly during difficult phases, reflected a leader who understood that institutions are ultimately built by people.

Perhaps the most inspiring attribute was his uncanny ability to take the right decision against overwhelming odds. In moments of uncertainty, his clarity and conviction often became the anchor that steadied the organisation.

On the occasion of KPIL's Annual Day - Kalpotsav 2026 and our beloved Chairman turning 81, we celebrate not just a pioneering entrepreneur, but a leader whose discipline, integrity, wisdom and humanity continue to inspire generations across the Kalpataru family.

I sincerely hope and pray that the Kalpataru Parivar would be fortunate enough to continue receiving the guidance and leadership of its visionary Chairman - S/MPM, for many more years to come."

Recalling August 2003. Mr Ajay Munot, Director, Kalpataru Group led me to the Board Room of Kalpataru to be interviewed by M/s Mafatraj Munot, the Chairman, Parag Munot, MD and MG Punatar MD of KPTL

While Mr Parag & MGPji dwelt on various queries, MPMji was just looking at me, rather really looking at me and asked only one question "How to develop business internationally"

On 10th October, 2013 I joined as Vice President, International Division at KPTL at Gandhinagar. MPMji used to frequent Gandhinagar and spent time with each vertical head and with me little extra time as new division's head. And AOP meetings with his eye for detail and probing into each promotional activity. He would spend more time during lunch and sometimes I used to pray to escape such sessions!

On the personal front:

My better half Smt. Malathi Mohan had to consult an Orthopaedic. MPMji arranged for consultation with his personal Ortho from Rajasthan that too in Munot Villa Bungalow. What a caring person - Chairman of the group to take of an employee.

That was a lesser issue when compared to his arranging appointment and later Cardio Vascular Surgery for me by Dr. Ramakanta Panda in February, 2009. I was told that MPMji spent many hours with our son at Asian Heart Institute following up the progress of the surgery which lasted for 13 long hours (6 grafts). Besides the kind act, he shouldered all the expenses for the procedure.

He was like an elder brother devoting personal care on me, for which our entire family is indebted to MPMji.

On another occasion MPMji arranged for my cataract surgery by the top notch surgeon Dr. Kulin Kothari. No words of thanks would suffice to express our gratitude to MPMji

For our son's wedding reception in Vile Parle, he graced the occasion and blessed the couple.

"So it was a 'parivar' way to pay attention to all our personal needs, and all these kind acts are etched in our memories."

On the professional side:

MPMji remained focussed on every business development, analyse physical & financial operations, look ahead issues. From 2003 until September 2011, our International Division secured appx USD 1,500 million business and executed appx USD 900/- Million and I opted for voluntary retirement with order back log of appx USD 600 million.

MPMji retained me for two more years as Technical Advisor with flexible attendance plus a gold membership in Chembur (I being a Golf enthusiast). He always took care of his employees.

I was also inspired by MPMji, who after he underwent two knee operations attended office as if he was back to normal!

But, I have been much more inspired by his business acumen, eye for details, scrutiny of receivable, looking forward to expand global foot prints, and last but not the least care for his people.

I thank Almighty God for giving me an opportunity to be associated with Kalpataru Group for a good part of my career, that too under the umbrella of Chairman Shri MPMji

MPM: A Journey of Trust, Growth, and Inspiration

It was mid-1987 when MPM first entered my life-selecting me as senior design engineer for HTPS based on advice of Punatar Sir. Little did I know then that this moment would shape the next three decades of my career.I had actually joined Kalpataru to support Punatar Sir after his move from Mumbai, but it was MPM who would become my mentor, guide, and source of inspiration.

I still remember the apprehension I felt leaving Mumbai for Gandhinagar-a city so different from what it is today. But MPM had a way of making you feel valued, of instilling confidence when you needed it most. That warmth he showed me in those early days never wavered. It's what kept me at Kalpataru for over 28 years including a very difficult period of handling Distribution projects. I grew from a simple design engineer to President & CEO of one of our division's verticals-a journey | could never have imagined.

What sets MPM apart is not just his exceptional leadership, but the way he believes in people. He doesn't just delegate-he empowers. He doesn't just monitor-he mentors. He builds teams not only through authority, but through trust. Under his guidance, I learned that true leadership isn't about control; it's about creating an environment where people can flourish and reach their full potential.

GET INSPIRED 2.0

His vision extends far beyond business metrics. MPM has woven innovation and philanthropy into the very fabric of Kalpataru. He's ensured that alongside quality, prudence, and business ethics, we never forget our responsibility to society. Through the Munot Foundation's initiatives in education and healthcare, countless underprivileged lives have been touched-a testament to his belief that success means nothing if it isn't shared.

There's another side to MPM that always delighted me-his love for Shayari. The few times I had the privilege to hear him recite poetry; I saw the soul of a man who appreciates beauty, depth, and the power of words to move hearts.

Looking back, the name "Kalpataru"-the wish-fulfilling tree-couldn't be more fitting for an organization built on MPM's values and vision. He has been that tree for so many of us, helping us realize dreams we didn't know we had.

As MPM passes the baton to Paragji, I carry with me decades of gratitude and countless lessons. I wish them both, and our beloved Kalpataru, continued success and prosperity for many years to come.

It is with profound respect and deep admiration that I reflect upon the remarkable leadership of our Chairman-a man whose life, values, and work ethic have shaped the identity and legacy of the Kalpataru Group. Being associated with him has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my professional life.

Our Chairman is a person who stands firmly on the foundation of values, ethics, discipline, and humanity. These are not just beliefs he speaks about; they are principles he practices every day. He often emphasizes that a person must uphold ethical conduct, maintain discipline, and give their wholehearted effort to their work in order to achieve true success in life. His commitment to these ideals has always been inspiring and deeply admirable.

At 81 years of age, he continues to work with the energy, clarity, and dynamism of a young leader starting his journey. His discipline is legendary-whether in his time management, his decision-making, or his unwavering dedication to quality. He truly embodies the belief that "excellence begins with discipline."

He has built not just an empire, but a community of people rooted in empathy and mutual respect. His leadership philosophy is simple yet powerful:

• Care for people.
• Stay grounded in values.
• Deliver quality without compromise.
• Always put the customer first.
• GET INSPIRED 2.0

These guiding principles have shaped Kalpataru into the strong, respected brand it is today.

He often shares that those who stay committed to Kalpataru-who grow with the organization, contribute with sincerity, and stand by its values-are its true assets. His genuine affection for employees, past and present, is evident in the warmth with which he interacts with them. He takes pride in their journeys and finds joy in their achievements.

For me personally, he has been far more than a leader. He has been a role model, an icon, and a source of continual inspiration. His life teaches us that success is not merely measured by accomplishments, but by the values we uphold and the lives we touch. His principles-rooted in discipline, integrity, empathy, and hard work-are admirable and timeless.

I remain proud to have served Kalpataru under his guidance. The learnings, values, and inspiration I carry from him will remain with me forever. His legacy is not just buildings or businesses-it is the culture of ethics, discipline, and humanity he has instilled in all of us.

MPM Sir is truly an exceptional personality. He possesses many admirable qualities, and I feel proud to work under his leadership. He is a straightforward, visionary, and natural leader, firm in his commitments.

On any issue, he discusses the matter with the concerned person or authority, considers various options, analyses the issue thoroughly, and then takes a well-thought-out final decision.

He always maintains high standards befitting a senior leader and consistently thinks positively.

He has great respect for elderly people, irrespective of their position.

He expects people to work with complete determination, honesty, and perfection.

In his own words, he has often said, "My employees are my real assets."

This is clearly reflected in our long association. From 1993 to 2016 (23 years) of working with KFIL, he always treated me with affection and gave me a sense of belonging and satisfaction.

I wish him a long life with good health, and I pray that he continues to devote time to his personal growth and atma-kalyan.

He strongly believes in giving back to society and the nation. He is deeply inclined toward social, religious, and selfless (karmasat) activities.

On his 81st birthday, I express my deepest gratitude and respect. For many of us, he is not only a Chairman, but a living inspiration whose legacy will continue to guide and motivate generations to come.

As I look back on my journey at Kalpataru Power Transmission Limited (KPTL)-from my early days in manufacturing to retiring as Overall Head - Manufacturing & Sr. President-I realize how deeply my professional character was shaped under the leadership of Shri Mafatraj P. Munot (MPM Sir).

His leadership was never loud, yet it was profoundly transformative. He gave us something rare-complete freedom to act, innovate, and build-while always standing firmly behind us with unwavering trust. That unique combination of a free hand and firm faith became the foundation upon which our strong manufacturing base was built-benchmarked to global standards and delivering a sound and respected positioning in the GLOBAL INDUSTRY. One of the most inspiring qualities of MPM Sir was his constant encouragement to embrace technology. He was always open to modernization-never hesitant, never rigid. He inspired us to explore new processes, upgrade systems, and think ahead-not just for a year or a decade, but with a long-term vision that shaped my entire career. This mind-set enabled KPTL to evolve into a technologically progressive organization. Modernization, under his guidance, was not merely about machines; it was about mind-set.

His mentoring style cultivated accountability, ownership, and a fearless culture of initiative.

Because he trusted us, we dared to stretch our limits. Because he empowered us, we took responsibility beyond defined roles.

GET INSPIRED 2.0

This culture of ownership continues to remain one of the strongest pillars of the organization.

The development of the Raipur plant stands as a remarkable testimony to his vision. The single-handed acquisition of 162 acres of land and the smooth development of the facility reflected his decisive yet graceful leadership. Today, the Raipur plant is recognized as one of the most cost-effective per-MT production units-an achievement rooted in his foresight and confidence in his team.

The establishment of initiatives such as Kalseva, the Learning Center, and the Tower Testing Sites were executed with the same silent strength. Knowing that he stood behind us with trust gave every team the confidence to deliver excellence.

What truly sets MPM Sir apart is his ability to build not only infrastructure, but people. He nurtured a core layer of functional heads like a family, aligning their personal growth with the growth of the company-like a true leader. He encouraged collaboration, care, and collective ownership. This approach created a strong internal bond across functions, nurturing mentorship down the line. Though exists; It was never hierarchy-driven; it was always value-driven. Many leaders within the organization today carry forward that same spirit of accountability and shared growth using in their own extended endeavours.

Inspiring leadership style, can best be described as "eyes on the micro, vision on the wide globe." While he maintained a sharp evaluating eye on both macro and micro aspects of every function, his deep understanding of key drivers and nuances reflected extraordinary expertise. I still remember the powerful codes and messages he shared during the AGMS-they have become part of our DNA and continue to guide us even today.

Beyond strategy and systems, he stands as a professional at the core and a family head at heart-balancing emotion, culture, and deep-rooted values with global competitiveness. The methodology with which he built KPTL remains a model for anyone aspiring to build a world-class organization.

He is widely regarded as a values-driven leader whose influence extends far beyond business performance. His impact on employees and associates have been shaped by his leadership philosophy, personal discipline, and long-term vision.

I am a firsthand witness to the company's remarkable transformation-growing from a market capitalization of 0.2 crore to 20,000 crore. Such phenomenal growth is possible only under the stewardship of a visionary leader of his caliber.

One of Shri Mofatrajji's most distinctive strengths is his rare ability to identify the right individuals and empower them to perform at their highest potential.

My association with the Kalpataru family spanned nearly 13 enriching years, from 2008 to 2021. During this period, I was fortunate to receive the continuous guidance, blessings, and encouragement of our respected Chairman, Shri Mofatraj Ji. He is not only a visionary industrialist but also an exceptionally kind-hearted and humble human being. His down-to- earth nature makes everyone who meets him feel instantly comfortable and valued. The warmth and genuine affection reflected in his smile remain unforgettable.

One particular incident from 2008 continues to inspire me even today. At that time, Kalpataru had a challenging single-facing project in Kolhapur, Maharashtra, which was going through a difficult phase. Being relatively new to the organization, when I was offered the responsibility to take charge of the project, I initially declined. I was concerned about my limited experience and unsure whether I could successfully handle such a demanding assignment.

It was then that Shri Mofatraj Ji personally called me. With great warmth and conviction, he motivated me and said, "This is an opportunity you must seize.

I have worked in JMC from May 2019 till April 2022 as President (Infrastructure), and had looked after the execution of the infrastructure business of JMC International. During my tenure I had the rare privilege to interact with our Chairman Sir for taking various decisions with regard to various business opportunities in India, like bidding for construction works of High-Speed Railways, underground Metro, project by TBM Technology, expansion of infrastructural business in Africa and other countries around the globe.

During all such meetings our Chairman provided an in-depth analysis of business models and encouraged setting up of new fields of infrastructural business. Our Chairman's in-depth study and guidance towards making the business-model successful, was a learning curve for all of us. I truly learned a lot from his experiences which indeed shaped my critical thinking analysis. His thoughts, his energy, his patience, his risk-taking capabilities, his vision, were all worth learning from. From humble beginnings, our Chairman carried forward his legacy to a global level.

I wish him greater success and salute him for his business acumen and wisdom.

From a young boy in Pipar village to Chairman of a global infrastructure conglomerate, Mofatraj P. Munot's journey is not defined merely by expansion-but by evolution.

• He built skylines.
• He built infrastructure across borders.
• He built enterprises across continents.

But above all, he built trust - within his family, within his organisation, and within the markets he served.

The Kalpataru tree continues to grow - its branches stretching wider each year. Yet its roots remain anchored in the same soil: discipline, humility, courage, and values.

In honouring him, we do not merely recount milestones.

We acknowledge a life that demonstrates how quiet conviction can shape enduring legacies.

It is the story of character in action.

And that is why he remains truly-a legend.
