About Mr. Dhruv Luthra, Managing Director, Luthra Group
In an era defined by industrial disruption and climate urgency, Dhruv Luthra, Managing
Director Luthra Group, is rewriting what it means to lead with both purpose and precision.
As a third-generation leader of Luthra Group, Dhruv is proving that environmental
responsibility isn’t a side project, rather an innovative business model. From transforming
non-recyclable waste into clean-burning fuel to recycling over 1.6 billion litres of
wastewater annually, Dhruv is embedding sustainability at the core of industrial growth.
From turning industrial waste into clean fuel to deploying AI for smarter recycling, Dhruv has helped transform a legacy family business into one of India’s most future-focused climate infrastructure companies. His approach is proof that industrial growth and ecological impact don’t have to be at odds, they need better design, leadership, and a long-term vision.
A Legacy of Innovation and Vision
The story of Luthra Group began in 1955 in the bustling textile lanes of Surat, when
Rameshchandra M. Luthra laid the foundation of a business rooted in resilience. In 1999,
his son Girish Luthra took a bold leap by diversifying into waste management at a time
when few saw its potential. This groundwork laid the foundation for the Group’s most
transformative chapter yet.
Today, under Dhruv Luthra, the group is driven by a powerful mission: “To be a force of
good that transforms lives by 2030, reducing our carbon footprint by 40% through innovative solutions.” With a sharp focus on technology, sustainability, and impact, Dhruv is reimagining the company as a global climate-tech contender in a climate-conscious world.
Transformative Environmental Impact
Under Dhruv Luthra’s guidance, the group has achieved remarkable environmental
milestones:
● 12.60 million metric tons of waste are converted into resources annually.
● 12.33 million metric tons reduction in greenhouse gas emissions each year.
● 5.4 lakh kilolitres of LDO fuel is conserved annually.
● 1680 million litres of wastewater are recycled every year.
From turning industrial waste into clean-burning fuel to building systems that prioritise
reuse over disposal, Luthra Group is scaling the 3R philosophy – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle to life with industrial precision. At the heart of the group is Ekacoal, an alternative fuel made from non-recyclable waste that tackles landfill overflow and cuts down dependence on fossil fuels. It’s a clear example of how smart design and circular thinking can directly contribute to climate action.
Leadership Philosophy and Organizational Growth
Dhruv Luthra’s leadership is characterized by:
● An innovation-driven approach, championing new solutions and technologies.
● A deep commitment to sustainability.
● A collaborative spirit, fostering partnerships with governments, industries, and
communities.
● Empowering teams with technology, increasing the workforce from 75 to over 1,600
employees across 11 plants.
His strategic insight and operational excellence have enabled the group to consistently
deliver a competitive edge, plan business turnarounds, and drive expansions. His academic
credentials, a Bachelor of Business from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology,
Singapore, and diplomas in Management Studies and Textile Engineering further reinforce
his multifaceted expertise.
Shaping a Greener Future
For Dhruv Luthra, sustainability is a shared responsibility. “Our work in waste management,
water recycling, and green infrastructure reflects our respect for the planet,” he says.
By embedding a culture of innovation and accountability across the organisation, Dhruv is
shaping a movement where economic progress and environmental well-being go hand in
hand.
With a bold vision to “make green the new black,” he’s steering Luthra Group toward a
regenerative, carbon-negative future, setting new standards for what industrial India can
achieve when sustainability drives strategy.
