Some people build buildings, while some people build trust. Dhaval Bhanderi is an entrepreneur who has not only built crores of square feet in the last eighteen years, but has built a reputation with each project where quality, punctuality and commitment are not just words, but values of life.
Today, Shree Riddhi Corporation is a leading construction contractor firm in Gujarat, the force behind several successful landmark construction projects in the state.
But the story behind this success is not one of shortcuts. It is one of continuous hard work, unwavering faith, a thirst for learning and the ability to turn every challenge into an opportunity.
YUGEN REALTY, SURAT
From Amreli to Surat : A beginning that gives direction to dreams
Dhawal Bhanderi, born in Amreli, Saurashtra, was raised in an ordinary middle-class family. His father was a diamond merchant and his mother was a housewife. Since childhood, he received the values of hard work, honesty and self-reliance at home.
He started his studies in Surat from the third standard. During vacations, he worked in his father’s diamond business, but his mind was somewhere else. His curiosity to know new things and the desire to create something different constantly pulled him.
An important turning point in his life came when his uncle said, “If you are interested in construction, then do civil engineering.” This one sentence decided the direction of his life.
After completing civil engineering, he worked for only four months. But his mind was never going to stay in the job.
His grandfather’s words were ingrained in his heart since childhood – “I was born not to do a job, but to give jobs to people.” This idea became the basis of his entrepreneurial journey.
Profit of ₹30,000… and life changed
The business did not start with a grand office or a big investment. A contract for a simple row house was awarded. From labour management to site supervision, engineering, planning and coordination with the client — he took on every responsibility himself.
In those days, there were days when he had to take laborers to the site on bikes, because it was necessary to save every rupee.
The project was completed in two and a half to three months and a profit of ₹30,000 was earned. More valuable than this profit was the confidence he gained.
With the power of hard work, planning and dedication, he gave a new direction to the business. In a few years, the journey that started from small projects reached big projects and people’s trust became his biggest asset.
The vision of seeing opportunity in every challenge
Every project in the construction industry brings with it new challenges. Sometimes the land collapses, sometimes there is excessive flow of water, sometimes the time limit seems impossible. But for Dhawal Bhanderi, every challenge has been a test of his abilities and an opportunity to prove something new.
He still remembers that project, in which the challenge was to complete a basement in just 31 days and the team worked day and night to complete the work on time.
Despite the problem of constant waterlogging in another commercial project, he achieved success through planning, technical understanding and teamwork. He believes that challenges do not challenge the work, but the perspective.
‘People build a house only once in a lifetime’
When it comes to Dhawal Bhanderi’s business philosophy, one sentence expresses his entire ideology. “A man builds a house only once in a lifetime. We have no right to compromise on the house of his dreams.”
This is not just the company’s motto, but the work culture of Shree Riddhi Corporation. He believes that construction is not just a contract, but a moral responsibility to fulfill the dreams of a family.
That is why any kind of compromise with quality is never acceptable to him, and this same principle remains the identity of the company even today.
The biggest force behind success – Team
Dhawal Bhanderi never takes credit for his success alone. For him, the team is not just employees, but family.
Respect for the culture of laborers from different states, concern for their families, provision for children’s education and human relations are all important parts of the company’s working method.
He believes that big buildings are not built by machines, but by the hands of happy and dedicated people.
From local contractor to Gujarat-wide identity
After the growth that started with large residential projects in 2008-09, high-rise projects started coming in 2010.
Important projects like Bhavani Heights, River Haven and Rituraj Textile Market gave their identity a new height.
After 2016, the company truly caught top gear and successfully expanded its operations across Gujarat including Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Valsad, Rajkot, Jamnagar after Corona.
Today, under the leadership of Dhawal Bhanderi, Shree Riddhi Corporation is among the trusted construction partners of Gujarat. In the last 17 years, the company has completed more than 1 crore square feet of construction.
The company has built a strong reputation for quality and timely work in residential, commercial, industrial, government, trust and re-development projects.
With more than 15 high-rise projects, many commercial and government projects and modern machinery and an experienced team, the company is successfully completing even large and complex projects.
Perhaps this is the reason why Shree Riddhi Corporation has become another name of trust for many leading developers today.
Inspiration from Sardar Patel
If there is any historical figure who inspires Dhaval Bhanderi the most in his life, it is Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. He is very impressed by Sardar’s simplicity, fearlessness, patriotism and decisiveness.
He often says, “Keep the care of a lion.” This thought gives him the strength to remain steadfast even in difficult situations. Travel, reading biographies and constantly learning from the life stories of great leaders are an integral part of his personal lifestyle.
Direction for the next 25 years
Success is not a final destination for Dhaval Bhanderi. In the coming years, he has a vision to take Shree Riddhi Corporation to an annual turnover of 250 to 300 crores and position himself among the leading construction organizations of Gujarat with an order book of more than ₹1,000 crores.
He has unwavering faith in the future of Surat. According to him, with industries, infrastructure and new opportunities, Surat will be one of the most powerful real estate centers of the country in the next decade.
A message for every young entrepreneur
Dhawal Bhanderi’s journey teaches us that success does not come from big capital, but from big ideas, sincere hard work and a willingness to learn continuously.
A young man who reaches the site by placing laborers on a Splendor has today become a reliable construction partner for many prestigious projects in Gujarat.
Perhaps the most beautiful message of this journey is that it is easy to build tall buildings, but building high trust is the biggest construction. And Dhawal Bhanderi has dedicated his entire career to building that trust.
Beyond Business : Responsibility towards Society and Industry
For Dhawal Bhanderi, success is not limited to just big projects or economic growth. He believes that true success of a business becomes meaningful only by contributing to the development of society and the entire industry.
Therefore, he remains actively involved in various social and service activities at his level with a selfless spirit. Along with this, he is also fulfilling an important responsibility as the Secretary of Surat District Civil Contractors Association (SDCCA).
Under his leadership, organized construction processes, proper documentation, professional work methods and timely project implementation are constantly promoted. He believes that the progress of the entire industry is more important than individual success.
Personal Life : Satisfaction in Simplicity
Even amidst the busyness of his business, Dhawal Bhanderi gives special importance to simplicity and discipline in his personal life. In his spare time, he loves to travel, spend quality time with friends and read biographies of great personalities.
The thoughts and values of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel constantly inspire him. He believes that new experiences, a constant tendency to learn and a mindset of being connected to the land make a person not only a good entrepreneur, but also a better human being.
Dhawal Bhanderi’s journey proves that success is not created by big capital, but by continuous hard work, dedication to quality and the trust of people.
For him, every project is not just a construction, but a responsibility to fulfill someone’s dreams. Perhaps that is why today, Shree Riddhi Corporation has become not just a company, but a symbol of trust.
