About Ghadi Detergent
A key part of their success is the popular Ghadi detergent, which is produced under their flagship brand, Rohit Surfactants.

Murli’s sons also play active roles in different areas of the company, ensuring its continued growth and success.

Diversification into New Sectors
RSPL Group’s growth is not limited to detergents. Murli Dhar’s elder son, Manoj Gyanchandani, has expanded the business into other areas. He manages the group’s dairy business and also started a footwear manufacturing unit under the name Leayan Global Private Limited in 1995. This led to the success of Red Chief shoes, which has become a well-known brand, adding more profits to the company’s annual turnover.
