== Social career ==
Fanindranath Gupta did not go directly to the Swadeshi Movement like other revolutionaries. He realised the necessity of establishing Indian factory in Bengal to make Bengal self-reliant. In 1905, at the age of twenty years, he established his own pen factory. Later in 1910, there was a large factory in Belleghta.<ref name=":1" /> [[Mahatma Gandhi]] visited his factory in Calcutta in 1925 and said that he was proud of the image of [[Swadeshi Movement]] in Bengal.<ref name=":2" />

== Popularity ==
[[Mahatma Gandhi]] was pleased with the new enterprise and genuflected him. He said<ref name=":2" /> —{{cquote|F. N. GOOPTU & CO., It has been a great pleasure to me to be able to visit this pencil and pen holder factory. I was delighted to be informed some of the machines were designed and made in this factory. I wish this national enterprise every success.|M.K. Gandhi
