Jewels of Gujarat

Leading Global Gujarati Personalities: Volume I

Maneesh Media presents its silver jubilee publication, Jewels of Gujarat, as a salute to the Gujarati community which has always been at the helm of change in India as well as the world. In fact, Gujarat has maintained a unique identity since millennia with many great men who have enriched the state and world with their immense contributions. Mahatma Gandhi who got us Independence or Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel who unified the Independent India, are Gujaratis. Even in this era, PM Narendra Modi who has been revolutionising the world sees India belongs to this great state.

Being entrepreneurial and enterprising, Gujarati diaspora is spread across the globe and in this book narrates the stories of some eminent personalities from 14 different countries.

Here we have Gujaratis who have reached the apex of their career around the world and are respected for their remarkable achievements. Read this book to know the personal side of their lives, what made them what they are, their upbringing, their beginning, the values they stuck to face all the hardships and ultimately win over fate!

Though they have earned respect in both their country of birth and work, however, people like us would not know them and often are ignorant of their achievements and the way they have earned India a name. This book brings the diversity of achievements of Gujaratis, which makes it a must to read for people who look for inspiration.
