Kanpur, the leather capital of India, generates a large amount of revenue for the state of Uttar Pradesh. Located on the banks of the Ganges River, Jajmau is a suburb of Kanpur (which generates about INR 15000 crores of revenue every year and accounts for 30% of Indian leather exports). Ruksh was born in this context and has since grown into a big third-generation company.

Ruksh Enterprises (www.ruksh.in) was founded in 1968, with a vision to produce the finest quality Indian leather and leather products. As of 2022, the company's products include finished leather, footwear, and equestrian products like harnesses and saddlery.

Ruksh Enterprises is composed of three separate industrial units that are EN compliant, and strictly follow European standards and REACH Compliance norms to ensure excellent quality control. In addition to following strict local labour laws, the company employs state-of-the-art machinery sourced from Italy, Germany and China. The three units in the company are the leather tannery unit, which selects the finest hide and works on ‘tanning of leather’; the leather and textiles unit, which produces equestrian products, such as breeches, bridles, saddles, horse rugs, and the footwear unit, which manufactures high-quality footwear that is exported throughout Europe, the United States, and Asia.

Since 1986, Ruksh has exhibited its products at the SPOGA International trade fair. It entered a joint venture with an Italian company in 2003 to manufacture and export riding shoes. Today, Ruksh exports to Germany, the UK, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, the US, Ireland, China, and Cambodia.
