Leaving all that he had in Bhiwani, Haryana, in early 1947, he came by himself to explore Bombay and start something independently. Coming from a joint family with more than 25 members living in a house and running a Ration Store, which catered to all of Bhiwani, he came to the city full of opportunities to try his luck.

Experienced in owning and managing a ration store, he started trading Pulses & Katha. Within a few days, he added Indian spices to his list of trading. Looking for a better and more significant business, while opening his office in Kalbadevi & Cotton Green Area under the name Baijnath Melaram, he entered into trading of chemical products within the same year. As soon as business was good within a few years, Shri Baijnathji called all his relatives to establish themselves in Bombay.

Belonging to a well-known family in Bhiwani, the northern part of India, and having a good name in the market, attracted a lot of family members and known businessmen looking to buy Iron and steel products through him in Mumbai. In the early 1950s, Shri Baijnathji started purchasing steel products from railways and acted as a commission agent for buyers from Mandi Gobindgarh. He actively participated in railway auctions for engines and wagons in the late 1950s. To store all the material, a yard was purchased at Rayroad, Darukhana. He participated in several recycling contracts for railways and ships on a partnership basis with other companies. His first experience in ship recycling was in the early 1960s under a JV partnership with another company. In the year 1972, he bought Baijnath Melaram’s first vessel. He was a Proud Icon in the Marwadi community and the Iron and Steel Fraternity. Before his demise in 1975, he had paved the way for his future generations to come.

Born in 1930, Shri Melaramji Agarwal was the youngest of all the siblings. He got into the business at the very early age of 17 to support his father and family. Being a workaholic was in the blood, so he quickly took control of the business. With his help, the company could participate in several auctions for dismantling locomotives and ships. He was a kind-hearted person and a socialite. His father, Shri Baijnathji and him took all business decisions together.

Not only was he a part of sowing the seeds of Baijnath Melaram in the 1950s, but he had also been a part of the exponential growth it has had in the past six decades. Shri Melaramji has been with the company for the longest time. He gave more than 65 years of his life to building a reputation for what the company carries now. He has seen all the ups and downs of a business family, and after Shri Baijnathji passed away, he led the entire family under his leadership.

He had incredible entrepreneurial skills as he quickly got into different businesses and would not shy away from risking money on something he believed in. Eventually, he decided on a business that he thought would become long-term and stuck to it. He started his business endeavours by trading in Steel products and becoming an approved & registered agents in SAIL and TATA. Soon after, he partnered with several family-run businesses to demolish locomotive engines and ships. In 1973, set up a rolling mill to cater to the iron and steel industry's needs. He initiated the Ship recycling business in Mumbai as well as in Alang. Baijnath Melaram was only the fourth company to beach a vessel in Alang.

 Ship recycling became the main business for Baijnath Melaram, and Shri Melaramji saw it grow till the age of 87. He passed away in Mumbai, India, alongside his entire family. He will always remain an idol for his grandchildren.
