Yogesh Mehta
Mehta, more than anyone else, knows not to allow failure to be a deterrent. In 1990, at the age of 30, his chemical distribution company went bankrupt in India. By 1995 though, he set up Petrochem in Dubai in partnership with Petrochem UK. Today, Petrochem Middle East exports more than 700,000 metric tonnes of products from its distribution terminal at Jebel Ali Free Zone and is the biggest chemical distributor in the Middle East.
