STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE, SUCCESS WILL FOLLOW Success eludes those who do not strive for it; however, what makes one strive for it varies. What started with a mere thought would transform into a leading and most-loved Asian-Indian grocery store, he had never thought so. Be it his emotion or his love for his country, Mr. Mafat Vitthalbhai Patel set upon to provide it to all and today his brand is a favourite among all Asians, spreading the love throughout the USA.

A LADY OF VALUES From the oppressive times when women weren’t supposed to do more than household work, here’s a lady who did it all and won. Yet, more than anything else, she is a woman that any woman is supposed to be, a mother! An inspirational, amiable and inventive Fiji Indian, she has taught her children what all mothers aspire for but few can inculcate – values. Here’s how she, Lalitaben Ashabhai Patel, the pillar and strength behind all the Patels today, with her vision and courage made the family dream and achieve new horizons every day.

WHEN PASSION EQUALS SUCCESS He treasures each minute he spent in his native, with his family, companions and teachers. The family man left his loved ones at an early age to anchor their future and let them have a financially fulfilling life. With his passion for innovation, Mr. Dahyabhai Revabhai Patel has created a revolutionary product, which has made him a reckoned name in the world of pharmaceuticals.

CONVERTING ASPIRATIONS INTO INSPIRATIONS What can probably be the reason for a man to face it all, struggle and win? Could it be his parents guiding him from above? Or did he inherit it from his grandparents, parents and uncle? It could also be his urge to take their aspirations to a height that would become an inspiration! Mr. Hasmukh Kanjibhai Patel’s success is well-known, but what’s the secret behind it?

HOLDING CORE FAMILY VALUES From being a social welfare person to a man knowing the importance of every single penny, he owes it all to his father. Despite having a rich ancestral background, his father opted to live with nominal capital and followed the path of simplicity and hard-work. He has done a lot for women empowerment and believes, they prove to be a valuable asset everywhere. No other person than Mr. Jaysukhbhai Odhavjibhai Patel could understand the value of time. No other person than him utilises time better than him.

A COMMITTED SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE His father had a successful business. He could have chosen an easy life, but he had a bigger dream. He worked hard to achieve this and, today, he is a Judge of the highest court in the country. Passionate about land redistribution in his country, Mr. Bharat Haribhai Patel has worked conscientiously to bring outlegislative changes to effectuate the Land Reform Programme.

THE UNCHALLENGED LEGEND He started rather humble, but his sheer dedication and ethical practice transformed a backyard enterprise into an MNC. And though facilities are around today, yet the values learnt in the childhood are not compromised. A person who walks his talk, follows his passion, works as worship and always speaks the truth. Dr. Karsanbhai Khodidas Patel’s thoughts, behaviour and deeds are integrated.
