Reliance Chemotex Industries Limited (RCIL) truly bears testament to its inspired founder, Shanker Lal Shroff’s allegiance to excellence. Started as a humble spinning mill catering to the local apparel industry, RCIL has evolved impressively, carefully curating its growth in order to ensure that its products positively impact the lives of millions of people around the world.
RCIL’s ascent to the pinnacle as of one of the most-revered Indian spinners of synthetic, blended yarns has not been sudden; rather it has been strategically built upon creative product development, a highly flexible and consumer-centric marketing ideology, a recruiting philosophy that values long-term commitment and perhaps most importantly, an unconditionally strong value system.
