The Trident Group , one of India's largest conglomerates, has made an indelible mark on the global stage with its wide range of products spanning across textiles, paper, chemicals, and energy. Established in 1990 by Padma Shri awardee Rajinder Gupta, the company has grown exponentially over the past three decades, becoming synonymous with innovation, quality, and sustainability. Headquartered in Ludhiana, Punjab, Trident has established itself as a key player in the global markets, with a strong customer base across more than 100 countries.
Trident's journey began in the early 1990s when Rajinder Gupta, a visionary entrepreneur, saw immense potential in the agro-based economy of Punjab. He founded Trident with a singular goal—to leverage the region's resources to create high-quality products that could compete on the global stage. Initially, the company focused on yarn manufacturing, leveraging the agricultural surplus in the form of cotton to spin quality yarn.
Within a few years, Trident became a significant player in the domestic textile market, and its success in yarn manufacturing laid the foundation for further diversification. The company eventually expanded its operations into the home textiles segment, producing bath and bed linen.
The group is committed to reducing its environmental footprint through various initiatives, including water conservation, energy efficiency, and waste reduction. Trident’s textile manufacturing processes, for instance, are designed to minimize water usage, and the company has implemented advanced water treatment systems to recycle and reuse water in its facilities. The company’s commitment to sustainability is also evident in its use of eco-friendly raw materials. In its paper division, Trident has adopted agro-waste as a key raw material, reducing the need for wood and preventing deforestation.
Trident Group is equally committed to social responsibility. The company has undertaken various initiatives aimed at improving the lives of people in the communities where it operates. Through the Trident Foundation, the group has launched several programs in the areas of education, healthcare, and women’s empowerment. Trident’s CSR efforts are focused on creating lasting, positive change, and the company has been recognized for its contributions to society.
Over the years, the company has established a strong presence in the international arena, exporting its products to more than 100 countries. Trident’s textiles, particularly its towels and bed linens, are in high demand among global retailers and brands. The group’s ability to consistently deliver high-quality products at competitive prices has made it a preferred supplier for some of the world’s largest retailers. Trident's global reach is supported by a well-established distribution network and a focus on innovation. The company continually invests in research and development to create new products that meet the evolving needs of consumers.
