Navya Naveli Nanda marks 30 years of Escorts Kubota at NSE, signals deeper role in family business

Navya Naveli Nanda stepped into a familiar chapter of her family legacy this week as she joined her father, Nikhil Nanda, and senior leadership of Escorts Kubota Limited at the National Stock Exchange to mark 30 years of the company’s listing. The visit, documented on her Instagram, shows Navya standing with the Escorts Kubota team outside the NSE building, symbolising a generational shift that is becoming increasingly visible in the Nanda family’s business narrative.

What this really means is that Navya, once seen largely through the lens of her maternal lineage in Indian cinema, is now carving her own place on the business side of the family tree. Her father, Nikhil Nanda, serves as Chairman and Managing Director of Escorts Kubota Limited, a company that has played a major role in India’s farm mechanisation journey for decades. By choosing to align herself with the company’s work, Navya is signalling the seriousness of her long-term commitment to that sector.

In several recent interviews, she has been open about why she chose not to enter films. She explained that she sees a more meaningful path in strengthening the industries her paternal family has built, especially in agriculture and rural empowerment. Her presence at the NSE event fits into that arc. It wasn’t a celebrity cameo but a deliberate appearance alongside the company’s leadership, marking continuity as well as responsibility.

Escorts Kubota, after its strategic partnership with Japan’s Kubota Corporation, has been expanding aggressively in the farm equipment space. The company considers its NSE journey a significant part of its history, and the 30-year milestone was used as a moment of reflection and forward-looking optimism. Navya, who has spent the past few years championing youth entrepreneurship and gender equality through her initiative Project Naveli, now appears to be widening her role by participating in major business milestones with the company.

For someone who could have chosen the spotlight of cinema with ease, Navya’s decision to stand beside the bronze bull at the NSE says something more interesting: she is choosing purpose over glamour, and building her own identity one deliberate step at a time.
