Foundation Stone

Founder

PATH | (Prakash Asphalting’s and Toll Highways)

Late Shri Puneet Agrawal founded PATH in 1996 with a steadfast belief that infrastructure must be built with honesty, precision, and responsibility. What began as a modest civil works company under his leadership steadily grew into one of India’s most trusted infrastructure developers. His vision was never about scale alone — it was about building with integrity, earning trust, and delivering work that stood the test of time.

In the formative years of the organization, he was joined by his younger brother, Shri Nitin Agrawal, who today serves as the Managing Director. Together, they shaped a leadership culture grounded in discipline, accountability, and deep on-ground involvement. Shri Puneet Agrawal believed in leading from the front, understanding every detail, and standing shoulder-to-shoulder with his people at every stage of a project.

Through his guidance, PATH transformed from a small contracting firm into a national entity delivering highways, bridges, and long-term toll operations with unwavering reliability. Many of PATH’s senior engineers and team members still draw their professional discipline, values, and work ethic from the mentorship he provided. The principles he lived by — ownership of work, respect for every individual, and an uncompromising commitment to quality — continue to be the cultural backbone of the organization.

Even today, as PATH expands across India, the company remains guided by the philosophy he set in motion: to build infrastructure that endures, serves communities, and contributes meaningfully to the nation’s progress. His presence continues to shape PATH — in our standards, our commitments, and our belief that infrastructure must always serve people first.

Though he is no longer with us physically, his legacy is woven into every milestone, every project, and every value the organization stands for. His legacy is not only remembered — it is lived, every single day.
