A note from the Directors
Happy Makar Sankranti, Lohri, Pongal, and Bihu to everyone celebrating
It is the harvest season! And we are about to harvest our newest crop! It gives us immense satisfaction to announce that the unveiling of our special Jewels of India – Bharat Ki Shaan, Bharat Ka Abhiman is near. A tribute to individuals who embody the pride, purpose, and enduring spirit of Bharat, the book will be launched on 18 February at The Ashok, New Delhi, with the most gracious presence of Shri Piyush Goyal, Hon’ble Union Minister of Commerce and Industry and Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Hon’ble Union Minister of Culture and Tourism as our Chief Guests.
Legacy—a word that carries immense weight—is at the heart of everything we do. For over two decades, Maneesh Media has been a keeper of stories that honour roots, pay tribute to ancestors, and inspire future generations. Legacy is not static; it is a living bridge, carrying values, wisdom, and love across generations. Jewels of India is a continuation of this mission—capturing not just achievements, but the spirit, voice, and values that endure beyond a lifetime.
We look forward to welcoming you all to our grand celebration. Until then, we hope you enjoy this newsletter.
Let’s create a circle of stories together …

The Hot Take from our Editorial Desk
Technology changes how we connect, but our need for roots remains eternal. A family book is more than a record; it is a “still point in a restless world” and a testament to our identity. For centuries, humans have used storytelling to declare, “We were here”. Today, as spoken traditions become endangered, active preservation is vital. We explore why documenting these journeys matters in a digital age and how a physical book safeguards “moral threads” as a roadmap for future generations.

He’s been awarded India’s highest honour for non-resident Indians: the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award.
He has conquered Midwest America and beyond through an empire that began with one petrol pump. He is known for his hospitality and has admirers in every sphere of life. Yet, what defines this business titan is that he is rooted to his family values and his ancestral village of Rakhra in Punjab and lives to uphold his parents’ names in everything he does. With his two brothers, he has hired a train to provide Tsunami victims with supplies, and sponsored over 1,000 students and 2,000 families to settle in the US.
His life is, above all, a masterclass in the importance of family values.
Who is he? And what does it take to stay committed to your values against all odds?
