Hans Raj Aggarwal was born into a family of milk traders, in a village of Haryana. As a child, he showed great academic acumen. With God's grace and the support of his family, he graduated first class first, as an engineer from Dayal Bagh University, Agra. Hitherto unprecedented in the whole village.
After short stints as a professor at Delhi College of Engineering and one in the hills, he settled with Delhi Electricity Supply Undertaking (DESU) as an assistant engineer. And carried the bat through his retirement, holding up the highest work ethic. He was much sought after in critical areas and in times of challenges, for his integrity and intelligence. He had great respect for institutions and placed his organization above everything. He never shied away from taking difficult decisions for the facility. He was blessed with very fine technical prowess administrative skills, team spirit, and discipline of a soldier. He was much respected by his colleagues and workers for his rock-solid support in times of crisis. Mr. Dependable. Also to his credit goes the successful completion of Shiv Shakti Housing Society in Rohini. He remained its president throughout the project. It was a big challenge to bring together varying views of different sections. He took it with all his wisdom in human relations. Again reaffirming his image as an iron man, never failing in his commitments.
It was Alpna Group’s great honor that Shri Aggarwal after retirement as Eng –In –Chief from Delhi State Electricity Board- Desu joined the firm, after many deliberations. His joining brought expertise in corporate practices along with his blessings, experience, and fatherly & statesmanlike stature. This was a huge jump for the existing set up enabling it to have professional ways of management. Despite his seniority, he would lend a very patient ear to staff, technicians, managers, and accountants. He adjusted himself with utmost ease into this much smaller organization against his king-size stature at DESU.
It was under his grand guidance that Alpna started perusing its Engineering arm. He was instrumental in establishing a functional structure and free-flowing finances. At least for its first decade of existence, the company remained in a challenging phase of formation.
He earned the great respect and admiration of the entire staff, customers, and suppliers as he ensured zero compromises on business values. His motto of 'company before self' earned us unbeatable goodwill. The company today is standing tall with mutual trust and a motivated team, culling the best from the market. He shall always be remembered for his commitment, hard work, and imparting a culture of the highest values. But for him, Alpna would not be where it is today. Alpna would always remain indebted to you Aggarwal Sahib.
