“I came to the U.S. from India in 1991 at the age of 17 to attend school,†said Amit Gupta, president. “The liberalization of the economic/fiscal policies under IMF and World Bank pressure prompted the Indian government to liberalize its policies and open India's economy to the world. This is when India started to see a boom; it started to become a manufacturing and service super power. Our own country's people had its first taste of a consumer economy. This was all very exciting. I knew from the get-go that I needed to be a part of this. In 1995, after I finished school, Tab India and Amsum & Ash were born.â€
Gupta remained in the U.S. to handle sales, marketing and distribution. This leg of the operation is Amsum & Ash. His younger brother, Sumit, lives in India and is chief executive of Tab India -- running all operations from procurement of blocks, operating quarries and ensuring that Tab India's processing facilities are keeping up with its exponential growth.
