The new Season 05 of Incredible Journeys – Brands and Leaders takes you inside the OSL Group, one of Eastern India's most influential enterprises and a business that has quietly powered the country's growth story since 1978.
From a small stevedoring outfit on the coast of Odisha to a 12,000-strong workforce across 25 locations nationwide, the OSL Group's journey is a rare example of legacy and ambition moving hand in hand.
In an exclusive conversation, Mr. Charchit Mishra, Director, OSL Group, opens up on:
- Carrying forward the vision of founder Shri Mahimananda Mishra — built on integrity, trust, and excellence
- Growing an end-to-end logistics powerhouse spanning shipping, mining, hospitality, oil & gas, luxury retail, and education
- Co-owning Gopalpur Port with Adani Ports & SEZ — and the shift from operating ports to owning port infrastructure
- Reviving the Mahanadi river jetty after nearly 100 years, in partnership with the local community
- Reimagining India's port and logistics sector at a moment of paradigm shift
- Why, at OSL, "family" means 12,000 lives — never employees
- At the heart of it all: a business that believes nation-building and community-building are the same thing.
