3 Generations One Passion - Key People

Late Sri Om Prakash Ahuja (Founder)

Om Prakash Ahuja founded this company in 1973 in Haridwar, the holy city situated on the banks of river Ganga. Even though the official registration of the company was done in 1973, he had been dealing in this line of business since 1960. Since his childhood, he was fascinated by Rudraksha and Gemstones. As a keen reader, he studied a lot about them before deciding to enter this field of business and establishing Om Prakash & Sons. During this time, the subject and knowledge of Gemstones and Rudraksha were limited to saints and astrologers. He wanted to spread the knowledge about these power objects with the people, and that is when he decided to write a book. This book was called “Ratna Rahasya” (Secret of Gems). Later, he also wrote another book called “The Power of Rudraksha”. Both of these books became very popular and were appreciated by people worldwide. Om Prakash Ahuja was instrumental in spreading awareness about Rudraksha & Gemstones, and his contribution in this field can never be forgotten.
