Mr. Roshan Kumar Goyal
Managing Director, Mittal Rice Mills Pvt. Ltd.
When tradition meets innovation, true transformation begins. Roshan Kumar Goyal, the dynamic Managing Director of Mittal Rice Mills Pvt. Ltd., is a shining example of how a business leader can honor legacy while steering his enterprise into a modern, sustainable, and globally competitive future.
Rooted in Legacy, Driven by Vision
After completing his MBA in 2002, Roshan gained invaluable experience across industries—pharma, finance, telecom, media, and NGOs. But in 2009, he made a life-changing decision: to return home and revive Mittal Rice Mills Pvt. Ltd., established in 1973.
It wasn’t just about saving a business; it was about preserving an industry heritage while preparing it for the next era.

Turning Challenges Into Innovation
When Roshan took charge, the mill was under heavy financial strain. Yet, with a clear mission and futuristic vision, he introduced:
● Advanced technology to modernize operations.
● Sustainable practices to reduce environmental impact.
● A people-first culture to empower employees and foster loyalty.
Within just three years, the company repaid its debts and returned to profitability. More importantly, it evolved into a benchmark of innovation and value-driven growth in Odisha’s rice milling industry.
Beyond Rice: Building Institutions & Driving Innovation
Roshan’s vision has always gone beyond the boundaries of the rice industry. In 2008, Imperial College in Bargarh was founded by his brother, and Roshan later joined hands with him to carry the mission forward. Today, the institution stands as a reputed center of learning and has even earned the prestigious “District Green Champion Award” from the Government of India.
In a similar spirit, the NuSteps Innovation Foundation, initially set up by his brother, is now co-led by both brothers—channeling their collective energy toward innovation, sustainability, and social development.
Roshan has also diversified into RSBP Innovations Pvt. Ltd., an enterprise that underscores his commitment to progress powered by innovation and community empowerment. Collectively, these initiatives illustrate how he seamlessly blends business leadership with a broader pursuit of education, innovation, and rural advancement.
Mission & Vision for the Future
For Roshan, business is not just about profits—it’s about purpose. His guiding principles are:
Mission: To create a sustainable, technologically advanced, and community-driven business model that uplifts farmers, employees, and stakeholders alike.
Vision: To make Mittal Rice Mills Pvt. Ltd. a nationally recognized brand for quality and trust, while contributing to food security and rural empowerment in India.
A Voice Beyond the Enterprise
Roshan’s leadership extends beyond company walls. He has been a strong advocate for policy reforms benefiting the rice milling sector in Odisha. His engagements with Union Food Minister Piyush Goyal and his representation in a FICCI delegation to Moscow underline his role as both an industry reformer and a global ambassador for Indian rice millers.
The Man Behind the Leader – Family & Values
What makes Roshan’s journey truly inspiring is how deeply it is anchored in family values. His wife, Mrs. Khushbu Goyal, has been his unwavering support system, balancing family responsibilities while encouraging his professional pursuits. Together, they are raising their children—son Aaditya Goyal and daughter Aditi Goyal—with the same principles of discipline, empathy, and responsibility that shaped Roshan’s own life.
For him, family is both his strength and his inspiration, reminding him every day that true success is measured not only in achievements, but in the values we pass on to the next generation.
A Lifelong Learner & Innovator
Even while leading a thriving enterprise, Roshan continues to grow academically—currently pursuing a Ph.D. at IIM Sambalpur. His commitment to lifelong learning reflects his belief that leaders must constantly evolve to stay ahead in a changing world.
Shaping Tomorrow’s Legacy
Looking ahead, Roshan Kumar Goyal envisions Mittal Rice Mills Pvt. Ltd. as more than just a business. His goal is to transform it into a platform for innovation, sustainability, and rural prosperity, inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs to build with purpose, vision, and values.
An entrepreneur, a reformer, a family man—Roshan Kumar Goyal is not just leading a company, he is shaping a legacy that will inspire for generations.
