Marwari women have made great strides in recent years, but there was a time when their roles were restricted to homemaking. One among them was Lata Bajoria, the wife of jute baron late Arun Bajoria, whom we have featured on our cover this issue. Lata Bajoria’s journey of self-discovery has made her what she is today—an entrepreneur, a social worker, a philanthropist and a naturalist. 
We have also featured Vedant Birla on our cover this issue, the son of industrialist Yash Birla and the chairman and managing director of Birla Precision Technologies Ltd.

Seldom are business houses able to endure changing fortunes and the vagaries of time to script a 123-year-old legacy, as has the SVP Group. Founded by Seth Shri Vallabh Pittie in 1898, the group has traversed diverse businesses and multiple generations to pass on the baton to Vinod Pittie, the man currently at the helm of affairs, whom we have featured on our cover this issue.

With sustainable practices gaining momentum in view of the adverse effects of climate change, the solar energy solutions sector has seen a growth spurt in recent years.

We bring you a Q&A with Gyanesh Chaudhary, the managing director of Vikram Solar, under whose leadership all this growth has been accomplished.

The Jaipur-based KGK Group counts among the biggest jewellery houses in the country, commanding a global presence with offices and operations spread across the world. A privately held conglomerate with multiple business verticals that include gemstone mining, diamond processing, jewellery manufacturing, jewellery retailing and distribution, much of the group’s growth is credited to vice chairman Sanjay Kothari, whom we have featured in this issue.

Marwaris may no doubt be synonymous with enterprise and wealth creation, but they are almost as well known for philanthropy. Doing one’s mite for the less privileged is in fact ingrained in the Marwari ethos. There are those, however, whose dedication to philanthropy takes on a larger dimension, as is the case with Kashi Murarka and son Dr Aneel Murarka, the owners of Mirachem Industriies, whom we have featured on our cover this issue. The Murarkas’ contributions in the domains of charity and philanthropy have in fact earned them more prominence than their credentials as a flourishing Mumbai-based chemical manufacturer.

Sharing a part of one’s wealth may come easy for the wealthy, but there are those selfless individuals too in the Marwari community for whom philanthropy is a career choice and an unflinching dedication. Padma Shri Kailash Chandra Agarwal ‘Manav’, the founder-chairman of Udaipur’s Narayan Seva Sansthan, is one such individual. What started with a desire to provide free meals to harried attendants of poor patients in government hospitals has grown into a mammoth institution today which serves the underprivileged and the differently-abled, especially poor children, through its 480 branches across India.

Time brings change and outlooks and preferences change with each passing generation. Even for Marwaris, a community known for its rigid adherence to tradition, this holds true, as has been exemplified by Neetish Sarda of Smartworks and father Ghanshyam Sarda of Sarda Group of Companies, whom we have featured on our cover this issue. While Ghanshyam Sarda—an eminent jute baron from Kolkata—illuminates the Marwari business horizon as a stalwart of the industrialist era, son Neetish Sarda, the head honcho of Smartworks, a leading name in the business of co-working spaces, symbolises the modern generation’s penchant for new-age businesses. 

Vaibhav Khandelwal, the co-founder of Shadowfax Technologies, likewise stands out as yet another example of the changing face of Marwari enterprise. An integrated third-party logistics services provider based out of Bengaluru, Shadowfax leverages technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to offer efficient, cost-effective and agile end-to-end logistics solutions in this era of online shopping, which is rewriting the rules of the retail business. 

Kartik Gaggar of Rajasthan Studio, yet another new age Marwari, has successfully integrated his Shekhawati lineage, his love for culture and the power of information technology by creating a business that promotes the diverse arts and crafts of Rajasthan, both online and offline. Rajasthan Studio also endeavours to create and support a pan-India community of artists and build an ecosystem to empower young, budding and talented artists. 

Together with Kartik Gaggar, in a special art section, we have featured three national award-winning artists and craftsmen from Rajasthan—Ram Swaroop Sharma, Prithvi Raj Kumawat and Dr Jyoti Swaroop Sharma.

With all this and more, we bring you yet another interesting issue of MARWAR.

Marwari women have come a long way from times when their role was restricted to just homemaking. Today, as more and more of them prove their worth in other fields, some have chosen to walk alongside their male counterparts to take their family ventures to greater heights. We have featured two such dynamic ladies on our cover this issue: Madhu Neotia of Ambuja Neotia Group and Divya Jain of Safexpress. While Madhu Neotia’s contributions to the group’s healthcare and hospitality businesses and other initiatives intended at giving back to society deserve much commendation, Divya Jain has exemplified the tremendous potential of Marwari women through her roles of augmenting the family business and now spearheading the Safeducate initiative, which is involved in skilling youth and helping them to carve a better future.

The Covid-19 pandemic no doubt has been a huge eye-opener for the tremendous potential of the online space, but there are those whose vision and farsightedness led them to harness its power to build successful enterprises years ago. Among them is Pulkit Jain, co-founder of Vedantu, whom we have featured on our cover this issue. A tech-enabled and hugely successful platform for online coaching, Vedantu boasts over 1,000 tutors, who teach millions of paid students in addition to offering free classes, in a real-time, virtual learning environment. 

On our cover, we have also featured yet another highly successful young entrepreneur, Vaishali Neotia, the co-founder of Merxius. A decade-old start-up and a leading player in the industry today, Merxius harnesses the powers of augmented reality, mixed reality and virtual reality (collectively called ‘extended reality’ or XR) to create engaging ‘immersive’ experiences, which find takers from myriad sectors and enjoys a global clientele. 

Besting oneself in a sport is a huge achievement, but to overcome gender biases and be a frontrunner in a male-dominated field simultaneously calls for added perseverance and determination, all of which Shagun Chowdhary has exhibited. Meet the trailblazing Olympian, who has proved her mettle by emerging winner at numerous national and international trap shooting events.

It’s a long way to start out from a nomadic family of snake-charmers and achieve global recognition and renown, all of which Gulabo Sapera has traversed. We bring you the incredible story of the world-renowned ‘Sapera’ dancer from the Kalbelia community of Rajasthan, who has reached the pinnacle of success in spite of numerous impediments and roadblocks, including an attempt to do away with her just after birth. 

With all this and more, we bring you yet another interesting issue of MARWAR.

In this issue, we have gone beyond our usual focus on entrepreneurs and industrialists for both our cover story and issue contents. Marriage is a serious business for the Marwari community. Long-drawn, elaborate and extravagant, the event veritably takes on epic proportions, and the logistics and the groundwork involved are monumental. We have featured Sima Taparia on our cover this issue, who has brought Marwari matchmaking into the limelight through her docuseries Indian Matchmaking, which was aired on Netflix India earlier this year. 

As a mercantile community, Marwaris may have earned widespread renown, but there are those whose capabilities in other fields go beyond many an accomplished businessman. We bring you the story of avowed weatherman Dr Laxman Singh Rathore, who has held numerous prestigious posts at both the national and international levels, especially the United Nations, and continues to serve several ministries to this day. Be it weather forecasting, or devising modern forecast methods, or dedicatedly serving the nation and mankind as an eminent agrometeorologist and scientist, Dr Rathore’s contributions are truly remarkable.

Dr Kriti Bharti’s story is no less impressive, who as founder and managing trustee of Jodhpur-based Saarthi Trust has taken the lead in annulling child marriages and has rehabilitated thousands of women and children in Rajasthan. Read about the intrepid child rights activist, rehabilitation psychologist, researcher, and philanthropist, whose ability to transform personal pain, injury, and oppression into positive action is admirable and touching.

With all this and more, we bring you yet another interesting issue of MARWAR.

For the scion of one of India’s most respected and traditional business families, Ananya Birla has adopted a career path not only less trodden but also distinctively unique in her own fashion. This feisty daughter of Neerja and Kumar Mangalam Birla is an entrepreneur marrying social conscience to business, a mental health activist and a songwriter and vocalist with serious talent and ambition—and all at the age of 26! She has been featured on the cover of this issue. 

Contrary to the stereotype of Marwaris as essentially hard-core, money-minded businessmen, there are those like Sanjay Kumar Jain who have excelled in other fields as well. Company secretary, entrepreneur, corporate head honcho, industry leader, mentor—Jain has done it all. With his yen for business and all his accumulated knowledge over the years, he now has turned to writing, having penned his debut book A Pinch of Salt: In the Recipe Called Life that offers advice and insights to readers looking to live a balanced and happy life. We present a Q & A with him. 

Unlike Sanjay Jain, whose love for culture began late in life, Arjun Prajapati’s love for art and culture goes back to his earliest years. A virtuoso artist and sculptor today, who has been honoured with numerous awards and recognitions, including the Padma Shri, Prajapati’s clients and admirers count among the who’s who of the world. We bring you his story.

With all this and more, we bring you yet another interesting issue of MARWAR.

Marwar Mar -Apr 2020 Issue:

Concept Note:

Issues relating to mental health run deeper than most of us realise and conditions like insanity, mental and psychiatric disorders, anxieties, phobias, depression and hyperactivity are all too common in our times. Sadly, the taboos and stigmas associated with these conditions often lead to either lack of timely attention or total neglect. To redress such issues, Neerja Birla endeavours to raise awareness about mental health, demolish the stigmas associated with it and help those affected to live more enriching lives through her movement, Mpower. We have featured her on our cover in this issue.

Corporate head honchos are known for their jet-setting lifestyles and business commitments, with very little time to spare for leisurely pursuits. Gautam Singhania, the chairman and managing director of Raymond Ltd, whom we have featured on our cover this issue, however, is an exception. Singhania’s passion for supercars and motorsports has earned him international fame and he is known as much for his competence on the racing circuit as in the boardroom.
We are also covering legendary Mr. Pradeep Gupta, the co-founder and vice-chairman of the Mumbai-based leading financial services firm Anand Rathi Group. An aspect of business that Marwari’s uncanny aptitude for managing finances.
We also bring the story of Mr. Atul Jalan, founder-CEO of Manthan. As a successful business community, Marwaris are also known for their ability to spot business opportunities and exploit them. Atul Jalan, who feels data and analytics would be the next big thing after digital transformation, counts among them. 
Bala Sarda, the founder of Vahdam Teas. By leveraging technology and eliminating unnecessary middlemen, Vahdam Teas has revolutionized the 200-year old traditional supply chain of tea in India.
Philanthropy, an integral part of the Marwari ethos, has been a tradition among Marwari industrialists and entrepreneurs and continues to be. But few perhaps match pioneering industrialist Govidram Seksaria’s generosity and lifelong commitment to philanthropy. We bring you the many institutions he founded through generous donations, in a special supplement. 
In our times, an outstanding example of Marwari philanthropy is presented in Ahmedabad-based Piramal Sarvajal’s endeavours to bring safe drinking water to countless citizens. A part of Piramal Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Mumbai-based Piramal Group, the mission-driven social enterprise’s commitment to leverage technology and bring community-level safe drinking water to underserved and arid areas is laudatory, to say the least.

With changing times, the overall perception of marriage might have changed, but for most Marwari families and couples, age-old traditions and revered customs continue to hold sway. With the wedding season going full blast, we have dedicated our cover to the all-important social institution of marriage, outlining the many customs and rituals that typify Marwari weddings. 

Talking about preservation of culture, we also bring you the story of The Bengal Rowing Club in Kolkata—or The Marwari Rowing club, as it was once known—which has completed 90 years of existence this year. Co-founded by Sir Badridas Goenka, Brij Mohan Birla and a few other illustrious Marwaris in 1929, the club today stands as a proud icon of Marwari heritage that offers a plethora of sports, entertainment and cuisine to around 3,200 members. 

Geeta Khandelwal’s efforts to promote and sell quilts made by India’s ethnic communities and artists has not only brought her global fame, but also culminated in the publication of her book titled 'Godharis of Maharashtra, Western India'. Read about the tireless entrepreneur, author and textile artist, whose latest passion is making miniature versions of costumes worn by the maharajas of India from 1850 to 1950.
  
Coming back to the fabled entrepreneurial acumen of Marwaris, we have featured siblings Sharad Kumar Saraf and his brother Sudarshan Saraf of Technocraft Industries (India) Limited, who have come a long way from the early seventies, when they set up their drum closure manufacturing unit in Mumbai. Now a flourishing business with international presence, the Sarafs boast other equally successful lines of business such as scaffolding systems, yarns, garments and engineering design services. 

With all this and more, we bring you another interesting edition of MARWAR.

All those who have accomplished great things have had great passion for their work and have put everything into it to turn their dream into a reality. One among them is Ritesh Agarwal of OYO Hotels & Homes, whom we have featured on our cover this issue. A college dropout, Agarwal, who now is just 25, has achieved the incredible feat of turning his start-up into the world’s third-largest network of hotels, accommodation options and managed living and work spaces—in just six years!

Global warming, climate change, sustainable practices—these are some of the burning issues of the day. But way back in the seventies, when Debi Goenka started his career as a volunteer of World Wildlife Fund, these were virtually unknown concepts. The executive trustee of Mumbai-based Conservation Action Trust (CAT), Goenka has many victories to his credit in his unrelenting fight to protect our environment.

Artist Charan Sharma has proven that there may be some truth in the contention that artists are born, not made. Sharma has matured into a talented and much acclaimed artist over the decades. We bring you the latest from the gifted artist, who, after the success of his Buddha trilogy of paintings, is now ready with his next body of works, ‘Aksharaa’, which will be showcased at an upcoming exhibition at Mumbai’s Jehangir Art Gallery, this October.

Having started his career from a rented space, Kolkata-based entrepreneur Srawan Kumar Himatsingka has built a business empire today that boasts a turnover of more than Rs. 1,500 crore, with interests in real estate, logistics, automotive dealership and alloys and minerals. We bring you his inspiring story.

With all this and more, we bring you another interesting issue of MARWAR.

With the concept of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics gaining ground, what once used to belong to the realm of science fiction may well be on the road to becoming a reality. AI enables computer programmes and machines to think, learn, plan, recognise speech and solve problems, and brothers Abhinav and Raghav Aggarwal of Mumbai-based start-up Fluid AI, whom we have featured on our cover, are helping high-profile businesses and customers from around the world adopt AI-based solutions to transform their business processes and gain a competitive edge.  
Even as business processes go futuristic, the study of genomes and personal genomics too are offering revolutionary solutions in health care. Ushering the technology in India, Anu Acharya, the founder and CEO of Mapmygenome India and her team decode a person’s genetic make-up to offer a bouquet of services, including personalised guidelines on how to become healthier. 

Ambition, drive and risk-appetite are some of the key attributes of successful Marwari businessmen, and Vinod Saraf, the founder and chairman of Vinati Organics Ltd epitomises them all. Read about the self-made billionaire, who has risen from a middle-class home to build a business in speciality chemicals that commands a worldwide market as the largest manufacturers of isobutyl benzene (IBB) and 2-acrylamido 2 methylpropane sulfonic acid (ATBS). 
Away from the world of enterprise, we bring you a glimpse of entrepreneur Anant Nevatia’s dedication to philanthropy, who, as the president of Rural Health Care Foundation, has been offering over 200 generic drugs free of cost to tens of thousands and medical consultation for a nominal fee!

With all this and much more, we bring you yet another interesting issue of MARWAR.

Marwar is a community-based magazine with an emphasis on profiling the best and the brightest in the Marwari community. The magazine reaches the elite in India and abroad who want to read and discover the wonders of all things connected with the community. Thus, the subjects featured have to have the flavour of Marwar and Rajasthan—its culture, lifestyle and traditions. We highlight arts, crafts, music, dance and theatre as well as fashion and food that are connected to the region apart from immensely successful businessmen and businesswomen. In the past, luminaries like Laxmi Mittal, Abhishek Manu Singhvi, Indu Jain, Sanjiv Goenka and Rajashree Birla, to name a few, have graced our cover.
