Share this news:

Icon International was born in the rapidly changing Indian scenario. Founded by Mr. Rajarshi Bhattacharya, the aim of the company was to bridge the gap between oriental orthodoxy and accidental sophistication. Icon International is an international trading firm, which presently serves the bulk agriculture segment.


The company has 2 major objectives- to provide Indian industries with state of the art equipment and technical advantage by imports, and to boost the exports of India, giving them the impetus that they required. Though the company started out small, focusing on these two objectives was what helped it to grow and progress. It was rare for companies to have an international presence at that time- and only a select few big names had the resources for that. However, Icon International drove the change back then.


Icon International, headquartered at Kolkata, West Bengal (India), also has affiliated offices at a number of other nations- including France, Argentina, Haiti, Canada, Algeria, Mexico, Korea, Venezuela and China. The company has established itself in these countries by ensuring that it has native traders in all of the partner nations. This strength and presence of Icon International across the globe is what gives it the power to buy as well as sell a range of agricultural export and import products. The trading teams at the company are backed by years of experience in sourcing products from the lowest prices from a diverse range of international origin.


For helping the clients focus on their cores business, Icon International also handles logistics for the land as well as ocean shipments. They offer break bulk and containerized shipments, along with numerous packing options. The backbone of the ‘sales commitment’, as stated by Icon International, lies in its promise to provide clients with personalized service by a coordinated set of teamwork efforts That is not all that Icon International does however- they also contract with Real Estate, which is the latest venture of the company.


Icon International is involved in the development of 69 million square feet of real estate space, which includes commercial, residential as well as club projects across a host of cities in India- including Kochi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Gurgaon and Mumbai.


The founder and director of Icon International, Rajarshi Bhattacharya, is an M.Tech (Electronics) from IIT KGP, and is an MBA from IISWBM, University of Kolkata. He is a qualified civil services officer, who left the services in order to join the corporate league. His corporate career began with senior position at Wipro, which was later followed by IBM.


Mr. Bhattacharya, despite of his background in electronics and business administration, is also an expert of cyber-crime. He has numerous research papers to his credit on the detection & prevention of cyber crime. Mr. Bhattacharya is the son of Dr. Jnanendranath Bhattacharya, who was a well-known professor in India as well as abroad.


Apart from being an expert on cyber crime, Mr. Bhattacharya is also an avid collector of contemporary and modern art, something that he picks up from his father. The Bhattacharya family’s art collection also holds the few works on canvas done by Tyeb Mehta during the 80s and 90s. He is a art consultant and the family has the collection of the most vintage works done in the 90s by artist late S.H.Raza.


As Icon International continues to grow, it can be seen as one of the best examples of what one man armed with an idea can do. With its presence in numerous countries, and new ones being added to the list every day, Icon International is at the front of exports and imports from the Indian markets. With the growth of Indian markets and Icon International’s vision, it will be interesting to see what lies ahead for them both.
