Dhandha: How Gujratis Do Business

Dhandha: How Gujratis Do Business

Dhandha, meaning business, is a term often used in common trade parlance in India. But there is no other community that fully embodies what the term stands for than the Gujaratis.

Shobha Bondreâ€™s Dhandha is the story of a few such Gujaratis: Jaydev Patelâ€”the New York Life Insurance agent credited with having sold policies worth $2.5 billion so far; Bhimjibhai Patelâ€”one of the countryâ€™s biggest diamond merchants and co-founder of the ambitious â€˜Diamond Nagarâ€™ in Surat; Dalpatbhai Patelâ€”the motelier who went on to become the mayor of Mansfield County; Mohanbhai Patelâ€”a former Sheriff of Mumbai and the leading manufacturer of aluminium collapsible tubes; and Hersha and Hasu Shahâ€”owners of over a hundred hotels in the US.

Travelling across continentsâ€”from Mumbai to the United Statesâ€”in search of their story and the common values that bond them, Dhandha showcases the powerful ambition, incredible capacity for hard work, and the inherent business sense of the Gujaratis.
