Mr. Raghunath Devchand Patil
Founder & Chairman
Mr. Raghunath Devchand Patil (Fondly known as R.D.Patil) is a visionary entrepreneur whose name has become synonymous with excellence in the security and industrial services sector. His remarkable journey began in 1985 with the establishment of Bharat Industrial Guards Services (BIGS), a proprietorship that quickly earned a reputation for reliability and quality in Surat and parts of Gujarat. What started as a modest venture grew into a trusted brand, widely recognized in the market as "BIGS."
This strong foundation laid the groundwork for an extraordinary legacy that continues to thrive today.
A Strategic Evolution: From Proprietorship to Pvt. Ltd.
By 2007, Bharat Industrial Guards Services had reached a pivotal moment. With its turnover steadily rising and a growing demand for its services, Mr. R.D.Patil seized the opportunity to elevate his vision. This led to the inception of BIGS Support Services Pvt. Ltd., a private limited company designed to expand the business’s reach and enhance its professional stature. While Bharat Industrial Guards Services catered primarily to Surat and select regions of Gujarat, BIGS Support Services Pvt. Ltd. broadened its footprint, extending operations across eight states in India. The transition not only reflected the company’s growth but also underscored Mr. Patil’s foresight in adapting to the evolving needs of a competitive industry.
A Family Legacy of Leadership
Mr. R. D. Patil’s success is a family affair, with his two sons, Vijay Raghunath Patil and Ajay Raghunath Patil, playing integral roles in carrying forward his vision. Vijay, the elder son and an MBA graduate, joined Bharat Industrial Guards Services in 1999 as a Manager, bringing a strategic and academic perspective to the business. He later transitioned into a Director role at BIGS Support Services Pvt. Ltd. upon its formation in 2007. Ajay, the younger son and a graduate, joined as a Director of BIGS Support Services Pvt. Ltd. in 2007, contributing fresh energy and ideas. Together, under their father’s mentorship, they have fortified the company’s leadership and expanded its influence.
Visionary Leadership and Lasting Impact
With nearly four decades of experience, Mr. R. D. Patil Ji, as he is affectionately known, has steered his enterprises with unwavering commitment and innovation. His journey from founding Bharat Industrial Guards Services in 1985 to chairing BIGS Support Services Pvt. Ltd. reflects a deep understanding of industrial demands and an unrelenting passion for safeguarding businesses and communities. His leadership has instilled a culture of professionalism, trust, and integrity, positioning BIGS as a benchmark in the security services domain.
Today, BIGS Support Services Pvt. Ltd. stands as a testament to Mr. Patil’s enduring legacy—a legacy built on resilience, family collaboration, and a forward-thinking approach.
