This month, as we observed World Environment Day, we were reminded that it is no longer just about planting trees or picking up trash. It is more about sustainable impact through green initiatives.
Maneesh Media has always done its part by practising sustainable printing practices, and much of it has been to ensure that our carbon footprint is kinder to the world. Through our stories, we have brought forth people who demonstrate that progress and sustainability go hand in hand. We have had the privilege of documenting journeys of green champions and visionaries such as Dr. Sankar DasGupta, whose pioneering work in clean energy is helping power a greener future; the Munger Brothers, whose contributions to agriculture reflect a commitment to responsible growth; Sushil Kejriwal, whose investments in renewable energy and infrastructure are creating long-term impact; Preety Singh, who are preserving India's artisanal heritage through sustainable business practices.
As we prepare for Jewels of India – Bharat Ki Shaan, Bharat Ka Abhiman Vol. 2.0, we look forward to bringing many more such stories to the forefront—stories that celebrate achievement, inspire change, and showcase the very best of Bharat to the world.
Our team is in the US and will be travelling to Texas. So, if you know someone—or are someone—who deserves to be recognised as Bharat Ki Shaan, Bharat Ka Abhiman, we would love to hear from you.
Until then, we hope you enjoy this newsletter.
Let's create a circle of stories together... Manish, Abhishek & Siddharth
for Jewels of India — Bharat Ki Shaan, Bharat Ka Abhiman, Vol. 2.0
Together, we celebrate India’s Global Rise.
HUM LOG
India’s African Ascent
From the factories of Zambia to the steel mills of Uganda, Indian entrepreneurs are helping shape Africa's economic future. Here are two stories from our Jewels of India – Bharat Ki Shaan, Bharat Ka Abhiman, first edition. They are about business success. They are also about leaving lasting legacies and keeping the Bhartiya spirit burning brightly.
He’s the man helping Zambia grow, one innovation at a time. Manufacturing, irrigation, power, food processing, and philanthropy, his entrepreneurial footprint across Africa is as diverse as it is transformative.
His is a billion-dollar vision that is forging continental impact. He has not only built a steel empire but also given the world a model for a sustainable industry, proving that growth and responsibility can rise together.
Some memories are too precious to stay tucked away in a drawer. When parents entrusted us with their children's artwork, we transformed crayon sketches, doodles, and dreams into a keepsake that celebrates the wonder of growing up and the magic of imagination.
What if a 2,500-year-old philosophy holds the key to a more compassionate, sustainable future? As the world grapples with climate crises, conflict, and ethical uncertainty, Arihanta Institute is making timeless Jain wisdom accessible to a global audience.
“He who knows what sweets and virtues are in the ground, the waters, the plants, the heavens, and how to come at these enchantments, is the rich and royal man.”
