Brands like Amita Garments and Tirumala Garments were launched with a wide distribution network across the country. In 2016, the brother duo established another manufacturing unit in Ahmedabad. Recently, They came up with one more unit at Amravati to manufacture exclusive party wear frocks for girls branded as Barbie Gold.

With an estimated readership of 1.5 lakhs and a circulation of 35,000 copies, it is the most sought after evening newspaper of Nagpur metropolitan area and surrounding districts. Today, under the patronage of both the brothers, the publication covers broad-ranging news from current affairs, politics, religion, entertainment to sports, commerce, local and feature stories.

The present editor, Mr. Praveen Turhate carries a legacy of being a distinguished and dynamic journalist. R Sandesh Group’s real estate venture began in 2006, with the acquisition of land for their first phase of projects.

With a view to giving something back to the society, R Sandesh Foundation was founded by Mr. Ramdeo ‘Rammu’ Agrawal and Mr. Dilip Agrawal to advance the philanthropic efforts of the group. The founders consider healthy and happy people as an asset for the overall development of the society. Over time, they have contributed to a variety of noble causes for the financially backward and underprivileged families.

During the pandemic phase, Mr. Ramdeo ‘Rammu’ Agrawal said, “We wanted to reach out to every individual who was affected by the situation, and this could not be achieved by me alone. So there were many people who got involved in this noble endeavour, and each was putting their best foot forward to help the needy.”
