Leading Global Gujarati Personalities: Volume I
We proudly present our 25th anniversary release, Jewels of Gujarat. The book honours the people of Gujarat all over the world. Gujaratis have on the forefront of global change for decades. The state nurtured renowned men like Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Today, that legacy is gripped by PM Narendra Modi.
This book captures the stories of Gujarati people from 14 different countries. All of these leaders hold leadership voices in their respective fields. It talks about their personal lives, struggles, pivots, and successes. Readers also get to dive into the mentality of these visionaries.
A great read for those looking for inspiration. Even better for someone who appreciates lesser-known names changing the global landscape.
