Rama Prasad Goenka (1 March 1930 – 14 April 2013) was the founder and chairman Emeritus of the RPG Group, a multi-sector Indian industrial conglomerate.

He was accused of asset-stripping of existing enterprises, especially the Kamani Engineering Corporation, and siphoning off the money into the RPG group, leaving the acquired firms bereft of cash and heavily in debt.

As early as the 19th century, an enterprising member of the family, Ramdutt Goenka, set up base in Kolkata, which was then the capital of India, and a major commercial hub of the British Empire.

It was in the 1970s that Rama Prasad Goenka (b.1930) leveraged the family's wealth to take over a variety of industries and corporations and thus created a ready-made business conglomerate.

Many of these corporations were stressed due to the socialistic policies and the "License Raj" then prevalent in India, and others were marked by the disagreements within the families of their owners.
