Darius Bahadurji is the Chairman & Managing Director of Vantage. He and his wife grew up in Calcutta, and shifted to Chennai to launch Vantage. It was initially a very basic set-up with just two employees, big ambitions and slow, small projects. Through sheer grit, hard work and a few committed clients, the business gained momentum, with branches in Coimbatore and Madurai in Tamilnadu, and further in Bangalore, Hyderabad and Cochin covering the Southern Region, as well as in Mumbai and Pune.

The secret of his position in the industry is his indomitable will to succeed, through the toughest of times, nurturing and mentoring his team to stand their ground and set examples, while the company moves from success to success and generation to generation.

A philanthropist by nature, he is the benefactor of many educational institutions, old age homes, orphanages and charitable organizations, besides supporting the less privileged amongst his staff. He is a pillar of his community, offering and providing support, often even before it’s need is expressed. He has an innate ability to connect with people, relate to individual circumstances and offer counsel and support. This quality is brought forth in the long and loyal service of his employees.

He is a member of the World Presidents’ Organization (WPO) – a global organisation founded to create better leaders through education and idea exchange. Darius Bahadurji is an avid reader of non-fiction and business management books, loves to travel with his family, meet old friends and new people, always seeking to extend his understanding of people, life and work.

Tehnaz Bahadurji is a Director of the company, and a dedicated supporter of her family. She is an avid reader of fiction and non-fiction, fond of traveling, music, dance, drama and art, and a spouse member of the World Presidents’ Organization (WPO). She is interested in learning about the world’s religions, promoting personal education and development, and committed to the welfare of the underprivileged, besides being an enthusiastic promoter of rainwater harvesting and ecological practices, long before they became fashionable.

In their life and work, the husband and wife function as a team, so as to find the best way forward. Since its inception, she has been a champion of the cause of the company, and has always stood up for the welfare of the company and the happiness of its employees.
