About Naman Manmohan Agarwal

Naman Manmohan Agarwal is an entrepreneur from Vadodara, Gujarat, who leads Orama Techno Labs, based in California, USA, and the Mansha Group. Friends and colleagues know him simply as Naman, and that suits him. For someone whose group is now estimated to close the financial year 2026-27 at around ₹500 crore, he is remarkably hard to spot in a room.

He holds an Executive MBA in entrepreneurship from IIM Ahmedabad. He went there to learn how to build, not to find a job, and he has never drawn a salary from anyone else.

The work

His companies trade in recycled PET and other polymers: rPET flake, PET bottle scrap and HDPE, bought in India and abroad and supplied to the processors who turn them into fibre, sheet and packaging. It is unglamorous work, built on knowing a material well and keeping promises about it. That is precisely why he enjoys it.

Today the group is estimated to close FY 2026-27 at a turnover of around ₹500 crore, from a start of under ₹50 lakh. The story of how it got there is told in full on this site.

Roles beyond the business

Naman holds positions in several associations of India's plastics and recycling industry, among them the Gujarat Plastic Association and the Halol Plastic Association. He is also a trustee of more than one charitable trust, including the Man-mohana Charitable Trust for Underprivileged Girls and Children.

Giving

Through the trust he supports the education and welfare of 200 girls this year, and he intends to double that number every year: 400 next year, 800 the year after. He also looks after about 125 animals. Read about his giving.
