Farrokh went to England in 1954 and attended prestigious schools. On returning, he obtained his agriculture degree from Pune University, 30 years after his father had passed out from the same place.

But a tragedy befell him in his young days. His elder brother met with a motorcycle accident and this misfortune made him enter the engineering business in a small way with 20 workers. Today, Cooper employs more than 2000 people. Cooper is known for its silent and fuel-efficient engines, world-class generators and highly reliable engine components.

Cooper is a success story in the export business and the company has exported goods worth over 230 million USDs. The workers at Cooper are a competent and loyal lot, in some cases, three generations of the same family have worked at Cooper, and there are more than 200 people who have worked here for more than 25 years.

Mr. Farrokh Cooper is a people’s man known for his humility and transparency. He is an outdoors person who loves walking, western classical music, photography, reading biographies, meeting people, and traveling within the country and outside.

Farrokh has a knack of picking up closed units and turning them around. His latest project is to restart a closed brewery in his local town, Satara.
