Late Saleem Bhai

Founder of Saleem Groups

A Gritty Visionary with a Determination to Succeed.

Saleem Bhai a true, breed businessman from Tirupur who defied the odds to establish a footwear empire. His story is of the constant struggle that could be outdone only with consistent hard work and determination. In the early '80s, Saleem Bhai recognized his professional calling and passion for the footwear industry. Eventually, he mastered the art of crafting footwear. His unique footwear design was on high demand among people in the town as it was affordable and durable. With rising demand, Saleem Bhai needed to increase his production and meet the demand with products that were of both high quality, style and comfort, and hence started to look out for sources that would help him achieve his need and vision. Since an enormous volume of production was required to quench his vision and scale-up in the long run Saleem Bhai started to work with VKC Group. Ever since the inception of VKC in 1986, Saleem Group has travelled together hand in hand. Determination backed by a definite purpose of building an empire in footwear trade, Saleem Bhai pioneered along with VKC brand to sell its products in Tamil Nadu.

He made it available in every retail footwear establishment so that even local consumers can have easy access. He pushed the boundaries of hard work by utilizing himself in this endeavour and toiled about 80 hours a week which was an inspiration to everyone around. A pure and kind-hearted soul who cared for everyone around, Saleem Bhai is the most spoken name in the history of VKC in Tamil Nadu footwear retail marketplace. Saleem Bhai passed away on 13th July 2017 after a prolonged illness, but even during his illness, he championed on with his work dedicated to making the clients and customers do business seamlessly. Today we have customers all over Tamil Nadu through a well-established network, the majority of whom have been holding long-standing relationships with our group. We owe everything to our founder, Saleem Bhai, the man with grit, grace and goodwill of everyone in our business.
