It can be surprising to read words like public welfare or god-fearing for industrialists and entrepreneurs who are known for their business acumen. Well, some of them adorn many hats. Take Mr Ramesh Gowani, for example- the man behind several real estate projects, the beginning of the fashion revolution in India and connections with global tourism boards. While he has proven his mettle time and again in business, his kind and religious side is rarely discussed. He also prefers it that way because he regards it as his duty and not something to flaunt or publicize.
While social responsibility is a part of regular annual activities for several organizations, Mr Gowani is not bound by limits or timelines to give to society. We recently talked to him about it and he said that since his childhood, his mother instilled in hima love for god and other religious teachings. He also said that all religions teach kindness and benevolence and his work for the people is a reflection of that. “I express my gratitude to god for bringing me here. He gave me all and now I wish to pay it forward”, said Mr Gowani.
