Durry Udhyog Jodhpur, Rajastha - Roopraaj Prajapati

Over the next hour, this remarkable man with a sharp head encased in a colourful  Rajasthani turban called safa, said us in thrall with his story. We were a group of hand-to-impress itinerants. one of my fellow travellers on this foray into the sticks packed an oeuvre of 40 books , half of it travelogues that have taken him to the remote corners of the earth. but even Paul the remote corners of the earth. but even paul theroux nodded  in admiration at this engaging entrepreneur from the outback who might well be the new face of india. Who says you need to have an MBA from Wharton or Kellogg or an engineering degree from caltech or MIT to be counted as a global Indian? Shortly before we hit the hinterland, we had been discussing the Chindia story, the boiling India versus China debate that is being milked by every business publication across the world.
