With three decades of experience in steering diverse business

enterprises, Mr Khaitan played an active role in McLeod Russel’s

acquisitions of tea companies and estates between 2004 and 2007.

He was instrumental in bringing the Williamson Tea Assam Ltd

estates into the McLeod Russel fold in 2005, thus putting the

Company back on the global tea map as the world’s largest bulk tea

producer. His connection with the family’s tea business goes back to

his teenage years when he participated in the Company’s centenary

celebrations. Later, as a member of the Board, he helped the

Company commemorate 125 years. This long association, along with

his experiences in two of

the Company’s estates

where he had lived and

learnt the ropes of the

tea business, forged a

lifelong bond.

Mr Deepak Khaitan had

served as President of ICC in 1991-92. Lamenting the demise of the

“industrial doyen from Bengal”, the present Director General of the

ICC said, “During his tenure, ICC achieved new heights of

excellence through a process of interaction and consultation with

international and Indian experts on economy, business and

management.” Another official who had served with Mr Khaitan

during his tenure said, “I will always remember him for his courage

of conviction, his extremely forthright and honest views, thorough

professionalism and deep commitment.”
