Nirmal Dargad – A Life Rooted in Values, Driven by Purpose

In a world where ambition often overshadows values, Mr. Nirmal Dargad stands out as a rare example of a man who has seamlessly blended professional excellence, social responsibility, and deep cultural grounding. His life journey is not just about personal success, but about giving back with grace, and living with humility.

A Legacy of Service: The Dargad Family

The Dargad family’s contribution to society is not born out of a desire for applause or recognition — it is a natural expression of the values and culture passed down through generations.

When Mr. Nirmal Dargad speaks of social work, his tone is filled with humility. He says:

"Social service is not an achievement for me, but a quiet legacy from my father. I’ve learned that true service is not about stature but about depth and outreach. My ambition is to ensure that the resources of society reach as many in need as possible."

When asked about his use of the word “ambition” in the context of service, he smiles:

"A person’s identity isn’t defined by what they inherit, but by what they add to it. Our Maheshwari community is rich in donors and resources. What’s needed now is a collective effort to ensure fair and sensitive distribution of those resources."

As Secretary of MPS International (2019–22), Executive Member of Shri Maheshwari Samaj, Jaipur, and Trustee of the Shri O.P. Dargad Foundation, he has shown that institutional service can be as sacred and sincere as personal involvement.

An Inspiring Patriarch – Late Shri O.P. Dargad

His father, Late Shri Om Prakash Dargad, was also an exemplary figure of social service and hard work. After moving from Rajasthan to Assam, he built a strong identity for himself in the grocery trade. As a gesture of gratitude toward the land that gave him livelihood, he donated land in Bongaigaon (Assam) for the construction of a Shri Ram Temple and a Science College — a rare and inspiring example of rootedness and contribution.

Later, recognizing the growing demand for edible oil in Assam, he started an oil mill back in Rajasthan, not just to expand the business, but to generate local employment and bridge regional trade needs — a visionary step well ahead of its time.

Inspiring Contributions to the Maheshwari Community

His unwavering devotion to the Maheshwari community is evident not just in thought, but in action. Not only did he instill these values in his children, but through his contributions, he inspired many other well-established families in Jaipur to contribute meaningfully. Some of his notable contributions include:

• Donation towards land acquisition for Utsav Bhavan in Vidyadhar Nagar, Jaipur
• Construction of Dargad Hall in Abhinandan Bhavan
• Support for the community dining hall at Chandpole Mahesh Bhavan
• Participation in the Bhoomi Pujan (groundbreaking ceremony) of Sanskriti School in Bani Park
• Contributions to community centers in Sambhar, Kishangarh, and Mahesh Vihar
• Financial support in the creation of the Mahesh Seva Kosh

The Dargad family’s philanthropy has never been for display or competition — it is a tradition of quiet service, passed down with humility across generations.

The Shri O.P. Dargad Foundation actively organizes eye camps, weekly free meal distributions, stationery donations, and other service initiatives that truly reflect a commitment to community welfare.

Early Life and Family Values

Born on April 28, 1977, into a humble middle-class family in Rajasthan, Nirmal Dargad’s early years were filled with challenges — but also rich in values, resilience, and the strong cultural grounding given by his parents.

His father, Late Shri Om Prakash Dargad (originally from Naraina, Kishangarh) and his mother, Smt. Suman Lata Dargad (from Sambhar), not only stressed the importance of education but also ingrained in him a deep respect for staying grounded and connected to one’s roots. These values continue to reflect in every choice he makes to this day.

Academic Excellence

Mr. Dargad’s academic journey is a tale of brilliance and dedication. He topped the Rajasthan Board Senior Secondary Examination, later becoming the University Topper in B.Com — achievements that reflected not just intelligence but discipline, integrity, and perseverance.

He went on to pursue an LLB, believing that knowledge must be transformed into responsibility — a belief he lives by even today.

A Visionary Entrepreneur – Assam Edible Oil

In 1987, the seeds of his entrepreneurial journey were sown with the founding of Assam Edible Oil. Guided by a focus on quality, innovation, and ethical business culture, the company has grown steadily and earned a trusted name across households in Assam, Bihar, and Bengal.

Nurturing Sports – Ace Sports Academy

Nirmal Dargad’s passion for sports found expression in the founding of Ace Sports Academy, Jaipur’s first private sports academy. Its success sparked a movement, and today, over 50 similar academies operate across the city, inspired by this pioneering model.

A Multifaceted Personality

Mr. Dargad is not just a scholar and entrepreneur, but also a state-level badminton medalist, and the captain of the winning team in the Maheshwari Premier League (MPL). His charisma and dedication even made him the Runner-Up of the “Mr. University” competition, inspiring countless students around him.

His energy is contagious — whether it's playing cricket or badminton, trekking through mountain trails, or rowing a boat across serene waters, he embraces every experience with a childlike enthusiasm.

Whether celebrating Holi or participating in traditional festivities, he blends effortlessly with every environment, striking conversations with ease and empathy, regardless of the audience.

A True Partnership – Mrs. Charu Dargad

His wife, Mrs. Charu Dargad, is not just a life partner — she is his pillar of strength and source of inspiration. An MBA graduate, a former radio and TV anchor, Mrs. Rajasthan 2004 Runner-Up, and an active Women’s Committee Member (2022–25), she is a true embodiment of women empowerment.

Her grounded and graceful approach to life reflects the values of her parents, Mr. Surendra Somani (Laxmangarh) and Mrs. Durga Somani (Bikaner).

Charu Ji’s warmth and authenticity allow her to form deep bonds wherever she goes — her ability to connect with women in any household as if they’ve been friends for years is a rare gift.

Together, Nirmal and Charu form not just a couple — but a harmonious blend of compassion, positivity, and service-oriented living. They live their lives like a celebration and wish the same sense of joyful connection and abundance for every family in society.

Parenting with Vision

Mr. Dargad has inspired his sons to pursue international-level education, believing it to be essential in today’s global landscape.

Dhvanil Dargad, after completing his studies in Australia, is now contributing to the family’s oil business with new ideas and innovation.

Dhananjay Dargad is currently pursuing his higher education in Australia, preparing to carry the legacy forward.

A Grateful Heart

Mr. Dargad never forgets to express his heartfelt thanks:

"Papa always kept us grounded — it is because of him that we remain connected to our roots even today."

"It is my wife who inspires me to break every boundary and move forward in life."

A Vision Beyond Self

A man of open mind and grounded values, Mr. Dargad believes in leading by example rather than by display. His spirit is fueled by empathy, purpose, and quiet determination.

He often says:

"Well-established families must now come forward — not because they need anything from society, but because society needs their experience, leadership, and commitment. It’s our duty to ensure that the benefits of available resources reach those who truly need them."

The Essence of His Journey

On Personalities Unboxed, this story is not just of a successful businessman — but of a man who has mastered the art of living with balance, compassion, and conviction.
