Bata India was founded in 1931 in Calcutta (now Kolkata), West Bengal, by the Bata Corporation, the then largest shoemaker in Europe. The Bata Corporation was founded in the Czech Republic in 1894 by Thomas Bat’a.

The company was initially named as Bata Shoe Co Pvt Ltd in India. It was engaged in the manufacturing of all types of footwear, footwear components, and leather products allied to the footwear trade. Bata pioneered footwear manufacturing with the establishment of its new production unit.

Within two years, Bata witnessed a massive demand for its products. The company had to make a two-fold increase in its capacity. Eventually, the company established its first manufacturing unit near Kolkata in January 1934. With the expansion in operations the company eventually established a township named Batanagar in the suburb of Kolkata.

In 1937, Bata introduced tanning at the Batanagar factory. Later on, more leather products were introduced during the same year. In 1942, a machinery department and a footwear manufacturing plant were set up. Another leather factory known as Batagunj was set up in Patna, Bihar, in the same year. It was the first company to manufacture rubber and canvas shoes in India.

The footwear manufacturer became a Public Limited company in 1973 and it was renamed as Bata India Ltd.
