From Pharma To Purpose: Rajnish Chopra’s Entrepreneurial Journey Earns National Recognition

May 24, 2025 | New Delhi — In an inspiring tale of transformation and tenacity, Rajnish Chopra’s journey from a seasoned pharmaceutical marketing professional to the founder of R.C. Packaging Industries stands as a beacon of purpose-driven entrepreneurship. His steadfast commitment to ethical business practices and community welfare has now earned him the prestigious Bharat Gaurav Samman 2025, one of India’s highest civilian honors recognizing exemplary service and leadership.

Leveraging years of experience in the pharmaceutical sector, Chopra identified a critical gap in the availability and affordability of essential hygiene products. He founded R.C. Packaging Industries with a clear mission: to manufacture and distribute high-quality disinfectants, sanitizers, cleaners, and hotel amenities—while upholding the highest standards of integrity and social responsibility.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Chopra’s values were put to the test. As demand for sanitizers and masks surged, many sought profit through price inflation. Chopra, however, chose a different path. He ensured fair pricing and reliable access to essential products, prioritizing public health over profit margins. This act of courage and compassion not only helped communities in crisis but also cemented R.C. Packaging Industries’ reputation as a trustworthy and ethical enterprise.

Today, the company continues to thrive under his leadership, supplying an expansive product line to both retail and institutional clients across India. R.C. Packaging Industries is lauded not just for product quality, but for the values that define its operations—from stringent quality assurance to consistent contributions to social welfare initiatives.

Receiving the Bharat Gaurav Samman, Rajnish Chopra joins a distinguished league of visionaries who have blended innovation with integrity. Speaking at the award ceremony, Chopra said, “This recognition is not just mine—it belongs to my team and to every individual who believes that business can be a force for good.”

About This Exhibition  

Characterised by “gentle” characteristics and western education the rise of Bhadralok in the 19th century reflected changes in the nature of Bengali identity and subjectively. The colonial experience led to concern of Bengal elite to define for themselves a social class that would delineate their nobility and shape a new code of acceptance The “Babu” were associated with this new class of Bengalis eager to adopt Western manners and learn that they formed the bulk the workforce needed the cosmopolitan enclave of Calcutta Babumoshai enjoyed a style of life in common and was conscious of Its existence as a class organised to further its ends. The prototype Babu was one whose attire was a variety of English and Indian, claiming to be taught English and flaunting his status in society. The title “Babumoshai was added as a prefix or suffix to a person’s name to recognize (wealthy) Indians who had provided service and assistance to the British in establishing their commercial and political base in India. Raja Nabakrishna Deb of Sobhabazar Rajbari was first known ‘Babu’ from Calcutta. The rise of Bengali Babu(or Babumoshai) as a social class was mainly due to trade and Enterprise in British colonial Bengal.

Post 1857, we witnessed a change in the way these Babus were represented in popular domains. The young Bengali babu was presented as a cartoon character, a ridiculous fusion of East and West, wearing a Dhoti, coat and hat, wearing a monocle, carrying an umbrella and smoking a cigar. I tried to depict their lifestyle in this exhibition.

About My Art

After meditative perseverance of more than two decade I the Kolkata based artist Pintu Paul has been able to arrive at a goal. I was striving for to devise an indigenous identity of my painting. My figurative forms now display dominance of linearity with a sobriety of folk tranquillity where the wisdom of neo- Indian style is transcended into post-1940-s modernistic approach of our art. In the mean time since the beginning we of twenty-first century I traversed through various forms like naturalism, realism, expressionism and different kinds of folk. All these tracks have lead me to this original expression I was striving for, very much akin to my own personality.

In my present forms I amalgamates various nuances of Indigenous folk tradition, the meditative inwardness of Indian classical sensibility.

The fantasy-oriented technique of transformation of human figures from naturalism towards an expressionist sobriety based on western modernistic formal orientation. Through synthesis of all this elements, local and global I posits a benign, lyrical, witty, pleasant and colourful exposition of life, where indigenous traditional identity plays a dominant role.

The subject of my paintings and drawings are mostly figurative. In the present series I works with Indian social life.
