    Munjal Brothers

    From the bylanes of Kamalia and the rugged landscapes of Quetta in India of the 1940s which later became Pakistan, they escaped to the partition ravaged cities of Amritsar, Agra, Delhi and finally settled in Ludhiana with little more than the shirts on their backs. From here, four of the six Munjal brothers built their business, part by part. This is an authentic 'Make in India' story about overcoming many odds: labyrinthine red tape, tepid economic growth and later, global competition. This podcast follows the lives and times of the four Munjal brothers who lived together and scripted a dramatic revolution on two wheels without any formal education or resources. In parallel, it's also the story of how an agrarian economy like India, with limited means of transportation, took wing on the back of this two-wheel revolution. 1940 च्या भारतातील कमालियाच्या आणि क्वेट्टाच्या खडबडीत रस्त्यांवरून (जे नंतर पाकिस्तान बनले) ते अमृतसर, आग्रा, दिल्ली या फाळणीच्या उद्ध्वस्त शहरांमध्ये पळून जाऊन आणि शेवटी त्यांच्या पाठीवर शर्ट्स यापेक्षा अधिक काही ना घेता लुधियाना येथे स्थायिक झाले. येथून सहापैकी चार मुंजाल बंधूंनी आपला व्यवसाय बांधला. अनेक अडचणींवर मात करणारी ही एक अस्सल 'मेक इन इंडिया' कथा आहे: चक्रव्यूहाचा लाल टेप, आर्थिक वाढ आणि नंतर जागतिक स्पर्धा या सर्वांवर मात केली. हे पॉडकास्ट चार मुंजाल बंधूंच्या जीवनाचे आणि काळाचे अनुसरण करते जे एकत्र राहत होते आणि कोणत्याही औपचारिक शिक्षण किंवा संसाधनाशिवाय दोन चाकांवर नाट्यमय क्रांतीची स्क्रिप्ट लिहिली होती. त्याच बरोबरीने, भारतासारख्या कृषीप्रधान अर्थव्यवस्थेने, वाहतुकीच्या मर्यादित साधनांसह, या दुचाकी क्रांतीच्या मागे कसे पंख वळवले याचीही ही कथा आहे.

    Ghanshyam Das Birla (घनश्याम दास बिर्ला)

    Ghanshyam Das Birla was one of the most prominent Indian businessmen from the era when India was struggling to get freedom from the British Empire. He belonged to the Birla family and is the founding father of the multi-billion dollar Birla Empire. He came from a humble background of Pilani in India where his grandfather was into the business of money lending—a tradition in that particular community. But Birla had dreams bigger than that and took him to Calcutta. He started a jute firm in Calcutta and gathered the kind of success which was impossible for an Indian businessman to achieve in those hard times. This led to one success after another and soon he expanded his empire into manufacturing, tea business, banking, chemical, cement, etc. It was his early efforts that made the Birla Empire what it is now and his impeccable business sense earned him the India's second highest civilian honor, the Padma Vibhushan. Birla established and pioneered a lot of new concepts in India during his time—he started a manufacturing business in Calcutta at a time when Indian businessmen were not given any preference over the British and Scottish merchants. He slowly expanded it into various industries like cement, chemicals, rayon, steel tubes, tea, banking, etc. ज्या काळात भारत ब्रिटीश साम्राज्यापासून मुक्त होण्यासाठी संघर्ष करत होता त्या काळातील सर्वात प्रमुख भारतीय व्यापाऱ्यांपैकी म्हणजे घनश्याम दास बिर्ला. ते बिर्ला घराण्यातील एक अनमोल रत्न आणि अब्जावधी डॉलरच्या बिर्ला साम्राज्याचे ते संस्थापक होते. ते भारतातील पिलानीच्या साधारण पार्श्वभूमीतून आले होते जिथे त्यांचे आजोबा सावकारी व्यवसायात होते - त्या विशिष्ट समुदायातील परंपरा. पण बिर्ला यांनी त्याहूनही मोठी स्वप्ने पाहिली आणि त्यांना साकारण्यासाठी ते कलकत्त्याला आले.त्यांनी कलकत्ता येथे जूट फर्म सुरू केली आणि अशा प्रकारचे यश मिळवले जे भारतीय व्यावसायिकाला त्या कठीण काळात मिळणे अशक्य होते. यामुळे एकामागून एक यश मिळत गेले आणि लवकरच त्याने उत्पादन, चहाचा व्यवसाय, बँकिंग, रसायन, सिमेंट इत्यादी क्षेत्रात आपले साम्राज्य वाढवले. त्याच्या सुरुवातीच्या प्रयत्नांमुळेच बिर्ला साम्राज्य आता जसे आहे तसे बनले आणि त्याच्या निर्दोष व्यावसायिक जाणिवेने त्यांना भारताचा दुसरा सर्वोच्च नागरी सन्मान, पद्मविभूषण दर्जा मिळवून दिला. बिर्ला यांनी त्यांच्या काळात भारतात बर्‍याच नवीन संकल्पनांची स्थापना केली आणि त्यांचा पुढाकार

    Parmanand Hinduja

    The saga of the Hinduja Group started in Sindh, the cradle of the Indus Valley Civilisation, where more than 5,000 years ago, the human race learnt its first lessons in organized business and banking. Parmanand Deepchand Hinduja, a young entrepreneur from the fabled town of Shikarpur in Sindh district (then in undivided India) realised early in life that business was all about spotting opportunities and seizing them, wherever they surfaced.In 1914, he travelled to the trade and financial capital, Bombay (later changed to Mumbai) where he quickly learnt the ropes of business. In 1919, the business journey, which began in Sindh, entered the international arena with an office in Iran (the first outside India).Merchant Banking and Trade were the twin pillars of the Group’s business. The Group remained headquartered in Iran till 1979. It then moved to Europe.Today, the Hinduja Group has become one of the largest diversified groups in the world spanning all the continents. The Group employs over 150,000+ people and has offices in many key cities of the world and all the major cities in India. हिंदुजा समूहाची गाथा सिंधमध्ये सुरू झाली, सिंधू संस्कृतीचा पाळणा, जिथे 5,000 वर्षांपूर्वी, मानव जातीने संघटित व्यवसाय आणि बँकिंगचे पहिले धडे शिकले. परमानंद दीपचंद हिंदुजा, सिंध जिल्ह्यातील शिकारपूर (तेव्हाच्या अविभाजित भारतातील) या प्रख्यात शहरातील एक तरुण उद्योजक यांना आयुष्याच्या सुरुवातीच्या काळातच हे समजले की व्यवसाय म्हणजे संधी शोधणे आणि ते कुठेही आले तरी ते मिळवणे.1914 मध्ये, त्यांनी व्यापार आणि आर्थिक राजधानी, बॉम्बे (नंतर मुंबईत बदलून) प्रवास केला, जिथे त्यांनी व्यवसायाची दोरी पटकन शिकली. 1919 मध्ये, सिंधमध्ये सुरू झालेला व्यावसायिक प्रवास इराणमध्ये (भारताबाहेरील पहिला) कार्यालय घेऊन आंतरराष्ट्रीय क्षेत्रात उतरला.मर्चंट बँकिंग आणि व्यापार हे समूहाच्या व्यवसायाचे दुहेरी आधारस्तंभ होते. 1979 पर्यंत या गटाचे मुख्यालय इराणमध्ये राहिले. त्यानंतर ते युरोपला गेले.आज, हिंदुजा समूह सर्व खंडांमध्ये पसरलेल्या जगातील सर्वात मोठ्या वैविध्यपूर्ण गटांपैकी एक बनला आहे. समूह 150,000 हून अधिक लोकांना रोजगार देतो आणि जगातील अनेक प्रमुख शहरांमध्ये आणि भारतातील सर्व प्रमुख शहरांमध्ये त्यांची कार्यालये आहेत.

    Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata (Tata Steel)

    They said Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata turned mud into gold or was it skillful management, clear thinking and honesty that did the trick? He had an uncanny knack for recognizing a good business opportunity and a selfless will to improve the lot of his countrymen. Thus a little known Zoroastrian family became the foremost business house in India's industrial history. The chronicle of the life of Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata is fascinating by reason of its impersonal approach, its old-world flavour and accent.  Jamsetji Tata laid the foundations and largely consolidated the position of Indian industry and enterprise. In Indian industry the terms 'integrity' and 'Tata' are synonymous, with the result that the House of Tata and its far-flung organization have the stamp of stability, security and success. It was not an easy success and there is at no stage in its development any trace of the nouveau-riche make-up. Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata was born in 1839, and in his lifetime India remained firmly under British rule. Yet the projects he envisioned laid the foundation for the nation's development once it became independent. More extraordinary still, these institutions continue to set the pace for others in their respective areas. For, among his many achievements are the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, which has groomed some of the country's best scientists, the Tata Steel plant in Jamshedpur, which marked the country's transition from trading to manufacturing, his pioneering hydro-electric project, and the Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai, one of the finest in the world. In these as in other projects he undertook, Jamsetji revealed the unerring instinct of a man who knew what it would take to restore the pride of a subjugated nation and help it prepare for a place among the leading nations of the world once it came into its own. The scale of the projects required abilities of a high order. In some cases it was sheer perseverance that paid off as with finding a suitable site for the steel project. In others, such as the Indian Institute of Science, it was his exceptional persuasive skills and patience that finally got him the approval of a reluctant viceroy, Lord Curzon. असं म्हणतात जमशेटजी नुसेरवानजी टाटा यांनी मातीचे सोने केले.  कुशल व्यवस्थापन, स्पष्ट विचार आणि प्रामाणिकपणाने ही त्यांची जमेची बाजू व्यवसायाची चांगली संधी ओळखण्याची आणि आपल्या देशवासियांना सुधारण्याची निस्वार्थ इच्छाशक्ती त्यांच्याकडे होती. अशाप्रकारे थोडेसे ज्ञात झोरोस्ट्रियन कुटुंब हे भारताच्या औद्योगिक इतिहासातील अग्रगण्य व्यावसायिक घराणे बनले. जमशेदजी नुसेरवानजी टाटा यांच्या जीवनाचा इतिहास त्यांच्या व्यक्तिमत्त्वाचा दृष्टीकोन, जुन्या काळातील परिस्थिती यामुळे आकर्षक आहे. जमशेदजी टाटा यांनी पाया घातला आणि मोठ्या प्रमाणावर भारतीय उद्योग आणि उद्योगाचे स्थान मजबूत केले. भारतीय उद्योगात 'अखंडता' आणि 'टाटा' हे शब्द समानार्थी आहेत, परिणामी टाटा हाऊस आणि त्य

    In 2005, Forbes ranked Mittal as the third-richest person in the world, making him the first Indian citizen to be ranked in the top ten in the publication’s annual list of the world’s richest people. In 2007, Mittal was considered to be the richest Asian person in Europe. He was ranked the sixth-richest person in the world by Forbes in 2011. He is also the “57th-most powerful person” of the 72 individuals named in Forbes’ “Most Powerful People” list for 2015. His daughter Vanisha Mittal’s wedding was the second-most expensive in recorded history. When the world's two largest steel producers went head to head in a bitter struggle for market domination, an epic corporate battle ensued that sent shockwaves through the political corridors of Europe, overheated the world's financial markets and transformed the steel industry. Billions of dollars were at stake. At the heart of the battle were two men: Guy Dollé, Chairman and CEO of Luxembourg-based Arcelor, the world's largest steel producer by turnover and Lakshmi Mittal, a self-made Indian industrialist and the richest man in Great Britain. Only one could prevail . . . 2005 मध्ये, फोर्ब्सने मित्तल यांना जगातील तिसरे-श्रीमंत व्यक्ती म्हणून स्थान दिले, ज्यामुळे ते जगातील सर्वात श्रीमंत व्यक्तींच्या प्रकाशनाच्या वार्षिक यादीत पहिल्या दहामध्ये स्थान मिळवणारे पहिले भारतीय नागरिक बनले. 2007 मध्ये मित्तल हे युरोपमधील सर्वात श्रीमंत आशियाई व्यक्ती मानले जात होते. 2011 मध्ये फोर्ब्सने त्यांना जगातील सहाव्या क्रमांकाची सर्वात श्रीमंत व्यक्ती म्हणून स्थान दिले होते. 2015 च्या फोर्ब्सच्या "सर्वात शक्तिशाली लोक" यादीत नाव असलेल्या 72 व्यक्तींपैकी ते "57 व्या-सर्वात शक्तिशाली व्यक्ती" देखील आहेत. त्यांची मुलगी वनिषा मित्तल हिचे लग्न इतिहासातील दुसऱ्या क्रमांकाचे सर्वात महागडे लग्न ठरले. जेव्हा जगातील दोन सर्वात मोठे पोलाद उत्पादक बाजारपेठेतील वर्चस्वासाठी कडव्या संघर्षात समोरासमोर उभे होते, तेव्हा एक महाकाय कॉर्पोरेट लढाई सुरू झाली ज्याने युरोपच्या राजकीय कॉरिडॉरमध्ये धक्कादायक लहरी आणल्या, जगाच्या आर्थिक बाजारपेठा गरम झाल्या आणि पोलाद उद्योगाचा कायापालट झाला. अब्जावधी डॉलर्स पणाला लागले होते. लढाईच्या केंद्रस्थानी दोन पुरुष होते: गाय डॉले, लक्झेंबर्ग-आधारित आर्सेलरचे अध्यक्ष आणि सीईओ, उलाढालीनुसार जगातील सर्वात मोठे स्टील उत्पादक आणि ल

    Shantanurao Kirloskar

    Shantanurao Kirloskar was born on 28 May 1903 in Solapur in a family of entrepreneurs who set the stage for the establishment of one of India’s biggest engineering conglomerates — Kirloskar Group. His father Laxmanrao Kirloskar was the founder of the Group. Shantanurao did his primary education from Kirloskarwadi, an industrial township that his father had set up, and then completed his secondary education from New English School, Pune. Shantanurao was one of the first Indians to graduate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he completed his graduation in mechanical engineering in 1926.The Kirsloskar Group has its humble beginnings from the time Laxmanrao set up a small bicycle repair shop in 1888. He manufactured the country’s first iron plough that not only took the company to new heights but also started an industrial revolution in India. Shantanurao then expanded the operations of the Kirloskar Group. From 1920 when Kirloskar Brothers was formed, Shantanurao went on to establish a number of companies under Kirloskar Group. One such company — Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd (KOEL) — grew rapidly under his helm and vision, becoming the largest diesel engine company of the country by 1960s. Shantanurao was also one of the central figures behind the formation of the Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce & Industries (FICCI) in 1927. He felt that industrialisation with a strong focus on manufacturing would fast-track India’s economic growth, which was desperately needed given the state of affairs in the country after independence. And for this he fought hard on many occasions, including the time when he was finally able to form KOEL before which he had once famously said “factories have a longer life than human beings”. शंतनुराव किर्लोस्कर यांचा जन्म 28 मे 1903 रोजी सोलापूर येथे उद्योजकांच्या कुटुंबात झाला, ज्यांनी भारतातील सर्वात मोठ्या अभियांत्रिकी समूह - किर्लोस्कर समूहाच्या स्थापनेचा पायंडा पाडला. त्यांचे वडील लक्ष्मणराव किर्लोस्कर ग्रुपचे संस्थापक होते. शंतनुरावांनी त्यांचे प्राथमिक शिक्षण त्यांच्या वडिलांनी वसवलेल्या किर्लोस्करवाडी या औद्योगिक शहरातून झाले आणि त्यानंतर त्यांचे माध्यमिक शिक्षण न्यू इंग्लिश स्कूल, पुणे येथून पूर्ण केले.मॅसॅच्युसेट्स इन्स्टिट्यूट ऑफ टेक्नॉलॉजी (MIT) मधून पदवीधर झालेल्या पहिल्या भारतीयांपैकी शंतनुराव होते, जिथे त्यांनी 1926 मध्ये यांत्रिक अभियांत्रिकीमध्ये पदवी पूर्ण केली. 1888 मध्ये लक्ष्मणरावांनी एक लहान सायकल दुरुस्तीचे दुकान सुरू केले तेव्हापासून किर्स्लोस्कर समूहाची विनम्र सुरुवात झाली. त्यांनी देशातील पहिला लोखंडी नांगर तयार केला ज्याने कंपनीला केवळ नवीन उंचीवर नेले नाही तर भारतात औद्योग

  • We all know about Mahatma Gandhi’s work, but few know of the role his wife Kasturba played in it. Kasturba was not a mute but was, in fact, a great freedom fighter, a pioneering satyagrahi and often her husband’s chief strategist and harshest critic. All Indians Matter presents a six-part series, ‘Kastur: In Gandhi’s Shadow, His Guiding Light’, to bring into focus the woman Kasturba really was. Join me, Ashraf Engineer, as I interview Tushar Gandhi, great grandson of Kasturba and the Mahatma, an author, a peace activist and someone who’s striving to keep Gandhi relevant in today’s India. Together, we play back the saga that was Kasturba's life.  Follow Bingepods on Instagram for more updates. Show credits: Produced by: Akhil Rajani Sound Engineer: Stanley Chacko, Vardhan Deshpande
