| Sandesh started its journey in the world of
Journalism in 1923. Since than it has flourished into 5 editions
and has played a
critical and vital
role in the upliftment and
welfare of five crore Gujaratis. It covers the latest news and
deals with the day to day situation with equanimity and fare
judgment . Sandesh provides information and entertainment
through its supplements dealing with almost
all the subjects. |
| |
| The Sandesh Limited is a listed and
public limited company with Head Quarter at Ahmedabad. Till
1984, Sandesh was a single edition newspaper published from
Ahmedabad. Then under expansion programme new editions were
launched Baroda, Surat, Rajkot & Bhavnagar in 1985, 1989,
1990 and 1998 respectively. |
| |
| Initially in 1923 Shri Nandlal Bodiwala
started Sandesh daily on a small scale, But in 1958 when late Shri
Chimanbhai Patel was at the helm of affairs ; his
vision , foresight and business acuemenship changed the
destiny of Sandesh and its circulation began to increase by
leaps and bounds. His unique contribution was ‘Sunday Sanskar
Poorti’ in Gujarati journalism, that included many celebrities
as columnists . Thus he was the pioneer of Sunday Supplements in
Gujarati journalism. He was always in search of new talents and
new ideas to make Sandesh a unique and dynamic daily. It was
this missionary zeal that made Sandesh a household name in
Gujarat. |
| |
| Present CMD and the Editor of Sandesh Shri
Falgunbhai Patel joined the organization in 1979 after
completing his MBA in USA. His close collaboration with his
father made a rare combination of wide experience and youthful
dynamism that added a rare spirit of adventure and calculated
business viewpoint in the development of Sandesh as a giant
entity. The company went public in 1994 with a premium of
Rs.90/- on the face value of Rs. 10/- per share. The issue
was oversubscribed by 15 times. “The Sandesh Limited”
thus became the first media house to become a public
limited company. |
| |
| But destiny sometimes plays cruel game and
in March 1995 Shri Chimanbhai Patel succumbed to a
massive heart attack and Falgunbhai lost his best friend,
philosopher and guide in the person of his beloved father. It
was a sad sorrowful day for the entire Sandesh Pariwar . Since
his father’s demise, Falgunbhai had to shoulder additional
responsibilities of editorial section in addition to his
managerial duties . He took all the challenges with the help of
his professional assistants with great skill and acuemenship.
His noteworthy contribution to the progress of Sandesh can be
summarized as under : |
| |
| -
Strict Quality Control.. |
