He Married to Jayshreeben, and they have three children; Dev Pandya, Devi Pandya and Jigar Pandya. He is a business mind personality. From his childhood he started to do a business. Due to the tough finicaial condtion of the family he sold the Masala Potetos in the village, sold the news paper and many more. After 12th he have to left the studies due to the poor condition of the family and moved to surat.

He worked as a clerk in the Saurasthra Bank, afterward he entered into the field of sales and marketing. After tasting success, he joined others in the business and in next two years, opened 90 branches across India. More than 2500 boys and girls were working with his company at that time. It has been just few years, since he tasted success; he met with an accident at the age of 24. Accident drastically changed his life. He lost both his eyes and the money spent in the treatment.

Once again he have to do a fresh start. Dineshbhai and Jayshreeben decided to have a fresh start. But it was tough as dineshbhai has lost his vision but they didn’t loose and all again they started and moved to Gondal. Where he has 2 offices and 30 person. In Gondal he happen to meet Pramukh Swami Maharaj, he heard the story and gave him blessing.

Founding Of Dada Organics:
He organized programs at various educational institutes to train as well motivate youth for self-employment. During this, he happened to meet an Agriculture Scientist. While interaction, scientist informed him about poor situation of Indian farmers. This encouraged him to work for farmers and he met agriculture scientists and researchers at universities. Idea behind meeting was to gather knowledge on how to reduce cost of farming. While doing research, he decided to promote old-age organic farming techniques. To help farmers, he started mission “Poison Free Farming and Prosperous Farmer.” He used to tour villages and guided farmers about ZERO BUDGET farming methods. He guided farmers about manure that can be prepared from excreta of cattle. He also taught farmers to prepare organic pesticide from cow urine and different plants leaves. After initial denial, farmers began to work with him. He insisted farmers to plant specific trees at their farm to prevent soil erosion and increase soil fertility. He conducted more than 1200 Village Assemblies (Gramya Shibir) across India and diverted more than 25000 farmers towards organic farming. Thousands of trees have been planted by farmers in past 15 years due to efforts made by him. While promoting ZERO BUDGET farming, he learnt that large amount of cattle-dung and cow urine is required to prepare organic manure. As getting such large quantum is not possible every time, he decided to develop an alternate, which can be produced in bulk and that too at very low cost. After two years of extensive research and experiments, he prepared organic manure from Neem, Castor and leonardite. Though, he had made a revolutionary invention, he was quite disappointed as heavy machinery was required to manufacture the organic manure. To buy machines, he applied for loan before Khadi and Village Industrial Commission (KVIC). Loan of Rs. 25 lakhs was sanctioned by KVIC. Within two years, business started by him touched new milestones. He generated an employment for 40 women into his unit (Dada Organics).
