Biography

An MBA from BITS Pilani, Vinod Saraf started his career working for Aditya Birla, billionaire Kumar Birla's late father.

In 1989, he set up his own venture to manufacture isobutyl benzene, the key raw material used for making ibuprofen, a popular painkiller.

His listed Vinati Organics is now among the world's largest producers (by volume) of ibuprofen.

His older daughter Vinati Mutreja, a Wharton grad after whom the company is named, now runs the company as CEO and managing director.
