How does one capture India’s beating heartbeat, its cultural pulse, and its thriving identity? This question is the catalyst for Maneesh Media to bring out the Jewels of India – Bharat ki Shaan, Bharat ka Abhiman series.
From capturing the remarkable stories state by state – Jewels of Rajasthan, Jewels of Punjab, and more, to weaving them together in this new series, we have brought many voices of Bharat together on a single set of pages.
Bharat ki Shaan, Bharat ka Abhiman – these are not mere words, but the spirit of countless individuals who carry Bharat’s values, its courage, and dignity wherever they go!
Within its richly designed pages, you’ll find a collection of 70 such thought-provoking life stories of businessmen, startup founders, doctors, scientists, and more who come from different parts of India and have settled to make a name for themselves across 12 different countries, but united by this unmistakable Indian Spirit.
But…What is this spirit? What makes it so unique?
The answers lie in our newest Jewel, to be released on 18 February 2026 at The Ashok, New Delhi, in the gracious presence of our esteemed Chief Guests, Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Hon’ble Union Minister of Culture & Tourism and Shri Piyush Goyal, Hon’ble Union Minister of Commerce & Industry.

People Inside The Book
Abdul-Gafoor Yakub
Chairman & Managing Director Penlac Co. Ltd. & Chaka Brothers (Pty) Ltd., Seychelles
He refuses to be drawn into negativity, blocking it out deliberately and sees each problem as a challenge, not as a
failure. It is because of the high spirits that he is an able person to serve various positions in America, England and
Seychelles until his family called him back home to serve his family business. And there too, he has churned miracles
by transforming the company into the biggest paints producer in the country.

Grasping ethics and hard-work from his parents, he took remote business courses and took a job to learn the intricacies. He had the choice of becoming the director there or joining the family business, yet he chose to be selfmade, buying out a small company and grew to different fields in parts of Africa and the USA, impressing clients with
his skills. A firm believer of BAPS, he is always helping any needy he comes across.
