In a glitzy evening, Jaipur-based Maneesh Media released its 37th publication, a coffee-table book, Jewels of Gujarat – Leading Global Gujarati Personalities: Vol II, in Ahmedabad. The event saw the felicitation of 100 influential Gujaratis from over 35 countries, while marking their presence were over 500 personalities from around the world.
The Guests of Honour of the evening were Dr Kiran C Patel, who because of health reasons could only mark his presence virtually, and Dr Vimal B Shah (Bidco Africa, Kenya), while some of the keynote speakers were MP Rama (Auro University, India & USA), Rizwan Adatia (COGEF Group, Mozambique), Mr Vinod S Patel (Vinod Patel Co Ltd, Fiji) and Mr Kumarpal (Varada Diamonds, Bengaluru).
Released on the eve of the 9th edition of Vibrant Gujarat, Chairman Chandmal Kumawat said, “We are proud to serve our motherland by writing inspirational stories of people who have made difference not only in India but all around the world. Our releases are more of a way to bring people from different countries together and dream of a new India.” The book travels to 35+ countries. One of the most reputed coffee-table book publishers in the country, Maneesh Media has earlier published biographies of notable Indians and is known for bringing the Indian diaspora under one roof to connect them beyond boundaries. The first edition of this coffee-table book Jewels of Gujarat was released by Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2015.
Director Manish Kumawat quoted, “When the respected PM praised our efforts for the first edition, we narrated 100 true stories of Gujaratis like Mukesh Ambani (India) and Sunita Lyn Williams (USA), and were motivated for more such books. This second edition is a result of that effort to inspire many more Indians to live their dreams.”
