The passing of Shri Nand Kishore Goenka, father of Essel Group Chairman Dr. Subhash Chandra, marks the end of a remarkable life dedicated to values, service and quiet leadership. At 96, he leaves behind not just a family legacy, but an enduring example of humility, compassion and commitment to society.
Known for his deep-rooted belief in social welfare, community service and nation-building, Shri Goenka lived a life guided by integrity and selfless action. While his family went on to build one of India’s most influential business groups, he remained a steadfast source of wisdom, discipline and moral strength, inspiring generations through his principles rather than public recognition.
His life serves as a reminder that the strongest foundations are built on character, and that true leadership begins with serving others. The values he upheld continue to resonate through the lives he touched and the legacy his family carries forward.
Media-Avataar India and the Media-Avataar MENA family extend their deepest condolences to Dr. Subhash Chandra, the Goenka family, friends and well-wishers during this difficult time. We stand with them in remembering a life of dignity, purpose and lasting impact.
May Shri Nand Kishore Goenka’s soul rest in eternal peace. Om Shanti.
