Ahmedabad witnessed a moment of pride for the construction chemicals industry as Ashok H Choudhary, Managing Director and CEO of Shivaza Group of Companies, received special recognition from Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel on February 21, 2026. The honour celebrates the excellence of Mapisa369, the group's flagship brand, in delivering high-quality products and its commitment to corporate social responsibility.
Choudhary's journey stands as a testament to determination and grit. Born into a modest farming family in Dehlod village, Tonk District, Rajasthan, he grew up amid limited resources yet boundless ambition. His early career included humble roles such as warehouse keeper and delivery boy—positions that taught him the true value of hard work and resilience. Rather than letting challenges define him, Choudhary used them as motivation to advance steadily, building a career rooted in persistence.
Today, he leads Shivaza Group, a diversified enterprise with Mapisa369 at its core. The brand has earned a strong reputation in India's competitive tile adhesive market by prioritising performance, durability, and structural integrity over superficial appeal. Mapisa369 positions itself as a manufacturer of high-polymer-modified, international-standard adhesives engineered for long-term bonding strength in demanding construction environments.
The Chief Minister's recognition specifically acknowledged Mapisa369's contributions across key product categories, including tile adhesives suitable for floor tiles, granite, vitrified tiles, large wall tiles, and large floor tiles. The brand also features prominently among granite adhesives manufacturers, epoxy grout manufacturers in India, and top players in epoxy and grout solutions. This accolade underscores the company's focus on quality that supports safe, reliable construction practices nationwide.
Mapisa369's diverse portfolio encompasses tile and stone adhesives, epoxy grouts, PU adhesives, waterproofing systems, readymix plaster, block joint mortar, and wall putty. Operating across multiple states—including Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh—the brand emphasises that construction chemicals serve as essential bonding agents rather than decorative elements. This philosophy prioritises real-world performance and safety, ensuring structures withstand time and stress.
The Shivaza Group's legacy spans 25 years, during which Mapisa369 has established itself as a trusted name by consistently delivering quality-backed guarantees. Beyond manufacturing, Choudhary's contributions extend into other domains. He has authored books, including the well-known "Divine Child," and ventured into film production with titles such as "Turtle" and "Waah Zindagi," released globally on platforms like ZEE5, Amazon, and Zee Cinema, reaching audiences in over 190 countries.
Choudhary's spiritual side draws inspiration from The Art of Living Foundation and the guidance of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. He firmly believes that ethics, humanity, and discipline form the bedrock of lasting success. His personal mantra—“Grow together, contribute together, and celebrate together”—guides the group's approach to employee empowerment, community support, and collective progress.
Through dedicated CSR initiatives and applicator training programs, Shivaza Group promotes safe construction methods while generating employment opportunities in both rural and urban areas. These efforts reflect a broader commitment to societal well-being alongside business growth.
From humble beginnings sweeping floors to steering a multi-sector enterprise, Ashok H Choudhary's path illustrates how focused ambition, industry expertise, and community-minded leadership can drive meaningful impact. The recent felicitation by Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel not only spotlights Mapisa369's rising stature in construction chemicals but also honours a leader whose work blends innovation, quality standards, and genuine social responsibility—values increasingly vital in India's evolving infrastructure landscape. As the sector continues to expand, stories like Choudhary's remind stakeholders that true excellence arises from integrity, perseverance, and a shared vision for progress.
