Badve’s entrepreneurial story is a classic 'rags-to-riches' tale. He began his business in 1988 with just two workers and three machines in a cramped 150-square-foot shed in Pune, funded by a small personal loan.

• Core Company: Belrise Group (Auto parts manufacturer).
• First Product: Started by making industrial fasteners.
• Origins: Pune-based self-made billionaire from a modest technical background.

Shrikant Badve’s career is defined by his success in scaling industrial manufacturing. He transformed his small shed into a massive conglomerate specializing in exhaust systems, chassis, and press parts for the global automotive industry.

His structural achievement is tied to securing marquee clients like Jaguar Land Rover, Eicher, and Mahindra. In May 2025, he led the successful public listing of Belrise shares at an 11% premium, securing his place in the billionaire ranks. Today, his sons, Sumedh and Swastid, lead the company's business development and strategy.
