He first started with a humble job but soon decided to pursue his entrepreneurial dreams. His initial businesses were in the jute industry, cotton vests, and iron pipes. In 1969, he established a manufacturing unit for Galvanized Iron (GI) pipes, laying the first foundation of the Bansal Group which eventually grew to consist of several companies including Skipper.
