“If you do any business with honesty and dedication, you get success.” Mukeshji learned this lesson while working with his father. Coming to Pune in 2005, Mukeshji started the grain business. There were few difficulties in the beginning, but he faced difficulties by finding opportunities in them positively. Later on, he started a new brand of Sabudana ‘Royal Crown’, and today it is distributed all over Maharashtra.No task is too small. Any work should be done with full honesty and integrity. Keeping this goal in mind, Mukeshji Chhajed made a name for himself in the market yard. He didn't mind to do any work that came infront of him. Be it social, family, business work, he fulfills it with full heart and deidication. They always say that “After coming to Pune from the city, the Punekars welcomed and accepted us with love. That's why we settled here and since then the city has been providing all kinds of help.” Mukeshji's grandfather Kachardasji Chhajed used to run a paper business in Maharashtra in 1960 under the name of Devichand Poonamchand Chhajed. From 1960 to 2005 Mukeshji with his father Madanlalji was looking after the paper business in Ahmednagar. He is known as the largest producer and distributor of paper in Maharashtra. He also traded in dryfruits and cereals. Mukeshji is also associated with his elder brother Manoj Chhajed's business of buying and selling land in Pune. Mukeshji's elder brother Manojji has started a big agricultural project in Mulshi. Mukeshji is also supporting his elder brother wholeheartedly in his business. They have been organizing ‘Hurda Festival’ continuously for the last eight years to give the experience and enjoyment of Hurda to the people living in the city. Even after living in Pune Mukeshji's elder brother Manojji, has built the first 18 floor tower ‘Sky Bridge’ project of Ahmednagar city in his motherland. All the facilities like metro city, community life are being provided here. Mukeshji has been busy helping his brother in this entire project. Manojji and Mukeshji have contributed a lot in social work. His father died due to not getting blood on time. Keeping this in mind, both the brothers have started organizing blood donation camps in the memory of their father through Siddhi Foundation from May 21, 2007. Mukeshji supports his brother whole heartedly in this event every year. In this donation campaign, if anyone feels lack of blood in the city of Pune, Nagar, Aurangabad, blood is transported there for free. People have so much faith in Siddhi Foundation that if there is any need of blood it will be fulfilled there. The Chhajed brothers believe ‘The trust earned by the people is priceless’. Till now he has done a great job of collecting 25 thousand blood bottles and giving them to various blood banks. “Success is better than fame” this idea was given by his mother which Mukeshji has implemented in his life. “Keep working honestly, you will definitely get it.” Mukeshji believes in this promise is on the way to success.
