Bihari Entrepreneur Busted Myths, Built Global Security Firm
A man from Bihar, India, started a company called SIS Ltd to help ex-soldiers find jobs.
He began by providing security services in Bihar, which was a tough place for businesses at that time.
His company grew big and now has many employees all over the world.
He bought other companies in Australia and other places, making SIS one of the largest security service providers.
He wrote a book about his journey, showing how he built a successful business while also helping people.
He believes in treating his employees well and paying taxes in Bihar, where his company is based.
SIS Ltd, founded by Ravindra Kishore Sinha, is the largest security service provider in India and has significant operations in Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore.
The company started in the 1970s to provide jobs for ex-servicemen and has grown to have 300,000 employees and revenues of Rs 14,000 crore.
SIS Ltd acquired an Australian company (part of the Chubb group) with the help of a loan from the State Bank of India, demonstrating successful international expansion.
The company's success is attributed to its 'people-first' culture, ethical values, and the founder's commitment to keeping the company's registration in Bihar.
A book titled 'The SIS Story' by Prince Mathews Thomas details the journey of SIS Ltd and its founder, highlighting the company's growth and social commitment.
