Never Say Die.

Not just a motto for businessman, investor and entrepreneur, Shripal Morakhia. But a way of life.
Hailing from an old business family who were at one time the leading stockbrokers of the Bombay Stock Exchange, Shripal went into business in the early 1980s in trying circumstances when he suddenly lost his father. At that time, he had completed his MBA from the USA and planned to settle down there.

Owing to family compulsions, Shripal came to India to take over the family business. Over the next three decades, he was wildly successful in some of his ventures and among the companies he founded were ShareKhan and Smaaash (he was even briefly the owner of Amar Chitra Katha).

But then times changed and Shripal also subsequently experienced the soul-sapping lows of the business cycle. Through it all, Shripal kept innovating and trying to find ways to grow and resurrect his businesses.

‘Never Say Die’ kept him going.

Shripal Morakhia

Shripal Morakhia is a serial entrepreneur. He went to the US in 1979 on sponsorship by the New York Stock Exchange and after his MBA worked as the Executive Assistant to the President of NYSE for a year. His journey was cut short by the death of his father and he returned to India in 1981. In the early ‘90s, he promoted SSKI and Sharekhan. SSKI was the first ‘Made in India’ brokerage and investment banking firm that served Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) and was a leading investment banker for media, telecom, and infra placements to private equity and strategic investors. Sharekhan was a pioneer in combining the brick-and-click model of retail broking. Shripal also produced/distributed 16 feature films including Jajantaram Mamantaram, Bend it Like Beckham and Monsoon Wedding.
