The story of Tej Couriers is deeply
rooted in the inspiring vision
and entrepreneurial spirit of
Vasantrao Ghatge, a man whose journey
from academia to industry created a
remarkable legacy in Maharashtra’s
business landscape. Beginning his career
as a Professor of Botany at Rajaram
College, Kolhapur, Mr Ghatge possessed
an extraordinary ability to identify
emerging opportunities and transform
them into successful ventures.
His entrepreneurial journey started
with the establishment of legendary
businesses such as Ghatge Patil and Sons,
Hem Kiran Diesels, and Kirloskar Ghatge
Patil, one of the pioneers in India’s moped
manufacturing sector, with well-known
brands like “Laxmi Scooter” and “Pizzaz.”
In the 1960s, when the foundry industry
was still developing, he entered the sector
with the manufacturing of brake drums
and established Ghatge Patil Industries,
which later became one of the leading
foundries in Western Maharashtra.
Mr Ghatge also expanded into
automobile dealerships, bringing
renowned brands such as Mahindra Jeeps,
Hindustan Motors, Massey Ferguson
Trucks, TVS Motors, Hyundai, Tata
Motors, and Bharat Benz under the Ghatge
Patil banner. His determination, foresight,
and leadership transformed his dreams
Sadhana Ghatge
into reality and laid the foundation for
a diversified business empire.
Continuing this legacy, Tej Couriers
was established on 15th April 1992 as a
natural extension of the group’s transport
business. Starting with only a few offices
across Maharashtra, Goa, and Karnataka,
the company gradually expanded into a
strong regional and national network.
Today, Tej Couriers has over 100 booking
and delivery offices across India and is
especially recognised for its deep rural
connectivity and dependable courier
services.
