Nadir Godrej said ?Godrej was founded in 1897 to help build economic independence for India. This deep purpose of innovating for a cause - the values of trust and respect and the belief in trusteeship and making communities that the companies operate in stronger and better - continue to form the bedrock of who we are 125 years later. We look forward to building on this legacy with focus and agility.? ?Both Groups will continue to use the Godrej brand and are committed to growing and strengthening their shared heritage,? added the statement.
