Adesh once mentioned that he would like to make LIBERTY SHOES LTD. a Corporate where people would come to work with a smile and go back home with a smile. It was a simple statement but one that carried a very deeply entrenched thought. And Adesh Gupta went about implementing his desire with his characteristic inimitable smile and humility.

He made them important to the bottom line of the Company.
