Few embody this truth better than Dr. Manoj Someswar Gelli, the man whose entrepreneurial journey has inspired countless dreamers. As the founder of the GMS Group of Companies, his story is one of passion turned into purpose, vision turned into reality.
Born with an engineering background and a love for technology, Dr. Gelli was never one to settle for mediocrity. At 23, he embarked on a daring entrepreneurial journey, launching GMS Group in 2007 with ₹10 crore as starting capital.

But with determination, adaptability, and innovative thinking, he overcame each hurdle. His leadership style is rooted in persistence and the ability to transform obstacles into stepping stones.
Beyond building businesses, Dr. Gelli has focused on giving back to society. CSR initiatives under GMS Group span environmental protection, education, and community development. For him, business is not just about profit—it’s about creating value for people and leaving a legacy of positive change.
Recognition soon followed. With over 100 awards across IT, entrepreneurship, R&D, and social work, Dr. Gelli’s achievements have been celebrated nationally and internationally. But he remains grounded, viewing these accolades not as personal victories but as proof of GMS Group’s commitment to progress.
Dr. Gelli draws inspiration from Ratan Tata, admiring his humility, humanitarian values, and transformative vision for India. Following in his footsteps, he seeks to build an enterprise that blends profitability with responsibility.
