About Me

Samir Mehta gets the bulk of his wealth from Torrent Pharmaceuticals, flagship of his family's Ahmedabad-based Torrent Group. The 67-year-old company was founded by his late father Uttambhai Nathalal Mehta, who was a salesman for Swiss pharma giant Sandoz. He also has a stake in Torrent Power, which provides electricity in his home state of Gujarat and two other states. While Samir Mehta runs the pharma unit, his older sibling Sudhir's son, Jinal, oversees the power firm. In February 2026, Torrent Pharma completed the acquisition of a 48% stake in rival JB Chemicals for $1.3 billion.
