⛏️ Historical Business Profile
M/s Kesariyaji Minerals and Miners
Founder & CEO
📍 Udaipur – Salumbar Block, Rajasthan, India
🕰️ April 1988 – Present | 37+ Years of Dedication to Geological Excellence
🌍 Pioneering Mineral Exploration in the Aravalli Belt Since 1988
Founded in April 1988, M/s Kesariyaji Minerals and Miners is one of Rajasthan’s earliest private ventures dedicated to mineral prospecting, mining operations, and export-based processing of natural stone and industrial minerals.
From its inception, the company focused on prospecting the ancient geological formations of the Aravalli mountain range across the Udaipur–Salumbar belt, uncovering and studying significant deposits of:
- Serpentine Green Marble
- Quartzite and Sandstone
- Dolomite and Basalt Stone
- Gossan Dolomitic Rocks (with Iron and Copper caps – indicators of buried ore deposits)
🔬 Scientific Mineral Exploration – The Gossan Vision
Gossans, often used by 19th and 20th-century prospectors to locate subsurface metal ores, became the core research interest of our founder. Over the decades, field studies were conducted directly on-site to analyze the vein structures, oxidized caps, and geological behavior of mineral formations—enabling accurate predictions of metal-rich zones in deep terrain across forest-covered and tribal belts.
“We sought not just minerals, but the story behind every rock formation — a scientific pursuit to unlock the region’s hidden wealth.”
🏭 Industrial Establishment & Export-Oriented Mineral Processing Unit
In 1991, the company set up its own crushing, grinding, cutting, and export-oriented mineral processing facility at Village Parsad, strategically located on National Highway-8 (Delhi–Mumbai Route).
This enabled:
✔ High-volume processing of Green Marble, Serpentine, and Dolomitic minerals
✔ Cost-efficient bulk export packaging
✔ Custom cutting and sizing for international clients
📦 Landmark Export Project – UAE Ministry of Health (1992)
In 1992, M/s Kesariyaji Minerals and Miners proudly supplied high-quality Serpentine Green Marble for the prestigious Ministry of Health Headquarters in Abu Dhabi, UAE, under the procurement and management contract with:
- Mr. R. Shekhar, Representative of GEM Granites, Bangalore & Madras
- Principal Partner: Mitsubishi Corporation, Japan
🔹 The export included multiple containers of cut-to-size slabs and tiles processed as per international specifications—strengthening India’s image as a reliable source of premium natural stone.
🪨 Mining Operations (1991–1996)
🛠️ Co-Owner and CEO – Mineral Mining Block Operations
📍 Village Saru, Tehsil Girwa | Deep Aravalli Forest Zone near Parsad Range
From 1991 to 1996, extensive manual and semi-mechanized mining operations were conducted for:
- Serpentine Marble and associated green minerals
- Exploration of copper-bearing dolomitic zones
- Extraction of industrial-grade quartzite and sandstone
These mining efforts were carried out deep inside forest-tribal zones, approximately 8 km into the hills beyond Kesariyaji (Rishabhdev), promoting sustainable local employment and skilled rural labor participation.
🧭 Legacy of Exploration, Education & Export
Over its 37+ years of operations, M/s Kesariyaji Minerals and Miners has:
✔ Helped map and identify strategic mineral zones in Southern Rajasthan
✔ Pioneered scientific mineral prospecting in rural tribal belts
✔ Contributed to India’s first major Green Marble exports for international projects
✔ Inspired the formation of newer ventures in stone export and architectural sourcing
📌 Today, this legacy lives on in the entrepreneurial journey of Impressive Art Interior and other allied ventures, all tracing their roots back to the geological wisdom, grit, and innovation born in the mines of Kesariyaji.
