Nanji Mehta - A Lifestory
Building Industries, Empowering Communities: A Legacy Of Indian Philanthropy

Someone was more than just a business person; they were a dreamer whose effect is still felt now. Born in 1887, their life story is like an interesting story, a real life story more grabbing than many movies. They weren't happy with just making a business; they wanted to help people and leave a long lasting gift of kindness. Their trip started in British India and led them to start a big group, with interests in many areas. But unlike some business people only focused on money, they knew it was important to give back. Their giving, which started in the early 1900s, helped many people, giving them access to school, health care, and other needed things. Someone believed in helping people, and their actions showed it. Coworkers often talked about their strong promise to good business ways and their real worry for the health of their workers. They showed the spirit of "Sarvodaya," an idea that pushes for the well being of all. They once said, "Real wealth is not in what we get, but in what we give away." They died in 1969, but their gift keeps inspiring people, a sign of the changing power of business smarts mixed with strong giving.
