Mohanbhai Patel was working in TATA Company. He just ASKED!Ģ) Values are important– We need to have guiding principles and values if we have to succeed. Not only did they agree, but they also provided him with the necessary training. This was apparent when Mohabhai Patel, with no experience in collapsible tubes, approached a German company for setting up their plant in India. Thinking about rejection and letting go of an opportunity is one thing that Gujaratis would never do. All we need to do is ASK! We have to approach, take decisions and calculated risks. In that process we forget that every difficult task in this world is certainly doable.

Jaydev Patel, the celebrated Insurance Agent credited with having sold policies worth $2.5 billion, then gives us his life account. Dalpatbhai Patel then takes it over from then and tells us his mesmerizing story about his motel business and how he went on to become the Mayor of Mansfield County. Then we get to know more about Mohanbhai Patel- a former Mumbai Sheriff and the leading manufacturer of aluminium collapsible tubes.
We are first introduced to Bhimjibhai Patel who is one of the country’s biggest and celebrated diamond merchants and co-founder of the ambitious ‘Diamond Nagar’ in Surat. These are the stories of five businessmen, all of them Gujaratis but from a completely different background. The book is a wonderful compilation of five success stories. It was Gujarat’s Gondal Maharaj who along with the Britishers, had laid down railway tracks for trains. It was Ranchodlal Chotalal, a Gujarati, who brought the textile Industry to India. As Mr Bachchan rightly says, business flows in the veins of the Gujarati community. Gujarati businessmen have a reputed history of building great businesses.
