Gujarati Entrepreneurs have started
to take globe in their Stride,
Gujarat has been a fertile land of
entrepreneurs and it seems that
entrepreneurship is in the blood of
Gujarat is. The name of great
Gujarati Dhirubhai Ambani has become
the name synonymous of
entrepreneurs.
On the path of Dhirubhai many
entrepreneurs have carved their path
from the Jungle of adverse
circumstances of government rules
personal struggle scarcity. But with
their dogged determination some of
them identified the opportunities
which have even ,surprisingly been
missed by the highly sophisticatedly
managed multi nationals in spite of
having top management guys ample of
resources. Those opportunities have
been identified by the Gujarati
entrepreneurs not once but many a
times without having expensive
market research reports and formal
study of management forget about
management in some cases some of
them like Nanjibhai Kalidas Maheta
may not had even formal education .
Karsanbhai Patel of Nirma had
identified the new arising segment
of consumer due to the changing life
style of then Indian society and
introduced economic Washing powder
under the brand name of NIRMA. Nirma
has become the house hold name of
India, The jingle of NRMA' DOODH SI
SAFEDI NIRMA SE AAI' Has established
perhaps the longest ever used
marketing jingle and having most
probably the strongest recall value
of all the jingles used in the
market of India.
