FAMILY BUSINESS OWNERS
Darius Bahadurji is the Chairman & Managing Director of Vantage. He and his wife, Tehnaz, daughter of Rusi and Zarin, grew up in Calcutta, and shifted to Chennai to launch Vantage. It was initially a very basic set-up with big ambitions and small projects. Through sheer grit, hard work and a few committed clients, the business gained momentum, with branches in Coimbatore, Trichy and Madurai in Tamil Nadu, and further in Bangalore, Hyderabad and Cochin covering the Southern Region, as well as in Mumbai. Darius displays an indomitable will to succeed, through the toughest of times, nurturing and mentoring his team to stand their ground and set examples, while the Company finds new ways to prosper, and moves from generation to generation.
Darius and Tehnaz are also philanthropic by nature, helping many educational institutions, old age homes, orphanages and NGOs, besides supporting the less privileged amongst their staff. Darius has an innate ability to connect to people and relate to their circumstances. They are both members of World Presidents Organisation (WPO), a global organisation to promote better leadership through education and idea exchange. They are also pillars of their community, offering and providing support, often before its need is expressed. In their life and work, the husband and wife function as a team to find the best way forward. Tehnaz has always been a champion of the cause of the Company, and stood up for its welfare and the happiness of its employees.
The family and the Company are happy and proud to welcome their NextGen in the form of Tushad Bahadurji, a Business Management graduate, who earned his early stripes interning at Ogilvy & Mather (Account – IBM). He joined the Company in April 2009, and is currently overseeing the busy Bangalore branch activity.
He stays on top of information in the organization and has a keen eye for detail and strategy. Tushad is charming and unassuming. His interests are many and varied, covering sports, gadgets, pets, cinema, music, and he also shares the family inclination towards philanthropy. He and his wife, Tanya, are members of the Bangalore Chapter of the Young Presidents Organization (YPO), and are committed to personal growth and lifelong learning. Tushad brings fresh ideas and energy to the organisation, and carries the baton firmly into the future, offering security and stability to the Company, its clients and its employees.
