pThe great Indian festive season is here once again and Indias biggest holiday of the year, Diwali, will be here soon - followed by Christmas and then, the New Year! It is time for celebrations! I love the way the country comes alive with festivities, the sounds of poojas and firecrackers, fairy lights accompanied by colourful flowers, clothes and other finery, delicious mithais and festive foods, and not to forget the aromas of burning incense. It also indicates the start of winter season and cooler weather all around. After two plus years of The Sindhian being released in the digital version only, we decided that it was time again to finally re-start printing the hard copy for our readers. We have been receiving hundreds of emails requesting us to bring out the hard copy, and here we are, back in print! We hope that you will enjoy the experience as much as before, and support our endeavor by subscribing to the magazine in large numbers. With this issue, we bring to you the cover story of a gentleman - Bihari Kandhari who built a real estate behemoth, the B Kandhari Group in Mumbai, and who has a 40-year legacy that’s built on perseverance, patience and persistence. Joining him in his growth story are his son Vicky and his three grandsons Arjun, Aaryan, and Aarav, and together, they now run a successful realty enterprise doing business on a large scale. We also have a host of other enterprising Sindhis who have made a mark for themselves in their respective fields – among them Amit Nawalrai, an extremely successful businessman cum podcaster and owner of a huge electronics retail store chain from Santiago, Chile, and an independent and venerated management consultant and advisor to company boards around the world, Dubai-based business consultant and advisor Niranjan Gidwani. In the pages that follow, you will read more about individuals from a variety of other businesses and professions as well. I hope that this issue of the magazine will engage you and leave you wanting for more. My sincere request to all of the readers out there, this Diwali, do not just light lamps all around you, but remember to light the lamps within yourselves too. Wish you all a very Happy Diwali and a fresh New Year full of love and opportunities!p
