    The story of resurrection of a Indo-Kuwait venture after it was reduced to dust during the invasion

    Around 62 years ago, Kuldeep Singh Lamba left India for  Kuwait  with nothing but his #courage, indomitable will, ability to work hard and the need to prove himself. He arrived in Kuwait when it was about to evolve into a strong oil economy. Life was difficult and hard. But Mr Lamba Sr like the Jashanmals was a pioneer. He overcame all obstacles to establish, Al Mailem Group,  one of the largest automotive companies in Kuwait. The company was lost during the invasion, but instead of giving up, he rebuilt the firm into something bigger and better. In this episode Sadaaqa features Kuldeep Singh  Lamba and his son Choji, a second-generation Indian in Kuwait who is also President of Al Mailem Group, and President of Indian Business and Professional Council, Kuwait. Here, Mr Lamba Senior speaks of his days of struggle, of surmounting huge odds, of his deep love for higher  education, something he was denied when he had to become a breadwinner for his family, and the contribution of #indian business houses to Kuwait's #economic development. This episode of Sadaaqa is a tribute to Indian entrepreneurial abilities in the #arabian Gulf, particularly in Kuwait.
