Umashankar Sharma: Bihar's Visionary of Tiles Writing a Legacy

From a Modest Start to a Titan in Tiles

From the heart of Bihar, a land often overshadowed by its challenges, Umashankar Sharma has etched a saga of transformation and triumph. From a very humble background, Sharma’s position today as the czar of the tile industry is nothing less than a myth. Today, he stands at the helm of Rooflux Tiles and Sanitary Pvt Ltd, a brand that has redefined elegance, innovation, and excellence in the world of tiles.

Rooflux: Breaking the Mold and Redefining Tiles

Sharma did not step into the tile market he invaded with a vision as strong as his designs. He was not here to make tiles; he redefined the whole essence of tiling. With Rooflux, he painted a brand where tiles were to be art, screaming from the roofs of superior craft, driven by innovation, and holding brutal durability. In a matter of time, an initiative local in character began to be the toast of the nation, adorning the grandest of homes within the Indian territory.

It was not just the success story of a business but rather a revelation. Sharma had just shown that Bihar could not only participate in but lead the world tile industry. His entrepreneurial brilliance combined with commitment to his homeland has placed Rooflux as a beacon of world-class quality in tile manufacturing. Shaya’s impact goes beyond business—he has infused economic growth and created a ripple of prosperity in Bihar, lifting the state to the forefront of the tile industry.

Among India's Titans: The Father of Innovation in the Tile Industry

During one of the proudest moments of his life, Umashankar Sharma was on the list of awardees being honored as one of India’s 50 most promising entrepreneurs for leading under a vision in the tile industry. It is worth mentioning at this point that this leading award was handed by none other than Aman Gupta, the co-founder and CMO of boAt, amidst a grand ceremony organized in the capital city. This recognition is the most befitting testimonial to Sharma’s capacity of converting adversity into an opportunity and creating a tile empire that sets new benchmarks of the business.
