As Managing Director of Samal & Empreo Group, Dr. Abinash Samal brings together healthcare, automotive retail, infrastructure, education, hospitality & sustainable mobility—a diverse portfolio rooted in Odisha.
Dr. Abinash Samal’s work spans businesses that serve very different needs: medical care, personal mobility, commercial transport and industrial operations. As Managing Director of Samal & Empreo Group, he represents the next chapter of a family enterprise built over decades. His role connects established businesses with newer opportunities, while his public life adds another dimension to this diverse professional journey.
The Healing Profession: A Foundation of Trust
Healthcare remains a distinct part of his professional identity. Samal Care in Angul reflects the group’s presence in medical services and its connection with families in the region. This field calls for attentive care, dependable systems and sensitivity to people at vulnerable moments. Alongside his wider business responsibilities, his medical background brings a direct understanding of the human needs that institutions are expected to serve.
From Healthcare to Automobiles: Building Enterprise
The group’s automotive portfolio spans Jaguar Land Rover, MG, Škoda, Kia and Tata passenger vehicles, alongside Tata commercial vehicles, genuine parts distribution and JCB equipment. This breadth reaches beyond showrooms: workshops, service support and parts supply keep customers and businesses moving. The wider Samal & Empreo enterprise also extends into road construction, industrial infrastructure, mining fleet operations, hospitality and education. These sectors involve different customers, operating models and skills, making diversified management a defining feature of his role.
Sustainable Mobility: Tata Re.Wi.Re
Empreo Tata Re.Wi.Re at Khurda adds vehicle recycling to the group’s mobility portfolio. End-of-life vehicles are inspected, fluids safely drained, and components dismantled and sorted. Reusable parts and recyclable materials are recovered, reducing waste and returning resources to productive use.
A New Chapter in Politics
His candidature from the Dhenkanal Lok Sabha constituency in the 2024 general election marked a move into electoral politics. This brought a different set of responsibilities: listening to citizens, understanding local priorities and engaging with issues beyond any single business. It is a separate dimension of his journey, connecting his experience in enterprise and healthcare with the wider concerns of public life.
For Abinash, business has been a platform to build; politics is an opportunity to contribute on a wider scale.
The Greater Responsibility
A diversified group depends on people as much as assets. Across its dealerships, workshops and other businesses, employees contribute technical, commercial and service skills. Staff dining, medical, scholarships and welfare initiatives form part of the group’s employee support. Its work also connects local suppliers, service partners and customers across Odisha. The responsibility is to sustain these relationships through dependable operations and investment in people.
Political credibility is earned not through association or influence, but through consistent engagement, integrity and results.
A Unique Journey, a Larger Question
The diversity of Dr. Samal’s work lies in the different needs each sector addresses. Healthcare serves patients; education develops capabilities; hospitality welcomes guests; infrastructure supports economic activity; and mobility connects people and businesses.
Bringing these interests together requires both continuity with the group’s founding values and the ability to adapt. His journey is best understood through this range of responsibilities.
The next phase calls for deeper service reach, stronger teams and consistent standards across a varied portfolio. Automotive retail and after-sales support must develop together, while vehicle recycling gives sustainability a practical place in the business. Healthcare, education, hospitality and infrastructure retain their own priorities and require focused attention.
For Dr. Samal, the opportunity is to grow these enterprises with clear accountability, preserving the group’s regional roots while preparing its businesses for changing customer needs.
