The July-August issue of Marwar India highlights the community's ability to preserve principles that form a strong part of its identity. In our cover story, we discover how Devendra Kumar Jain of INOX and his family have upheld their business values and the single-minded pursuit to be the very best. Side by side, we dissect the turban which has for long signified hierarchy, authority, religion, caste and stature among Marwaris, and continues to do so in the face of modernisation. We have also featured Anup and Smriti Bohra (who own 173-year-old jewellery house Jewels Emporium), Shantanu Kejriwal of Jungpana Tea Estate and Richa Agarwal, director of Emami Chisel Art in this issue. Finally, for some not-so-common sense, we have Vandana Shroff, partner at a leading law firm, talk about the importance of succession planning—a most relevant topic for Marwaris today.
Marwar is a community-based magazine with an emphasis on profiling the best and the brightest in the Marwari community. The magazine reaches the elite in India and abroad who want to read and discover the wonders of all things connected with the community. Thus, the subjects featured have to have the flavour of Marwar and Rajasthan—its culture, lifestyle and traditions. We highlight arts, crafts, music, dance and theatre as well as fashion and food that are connected to the region apart from immensely successful businessmen and businesswomen. In the past, luminaries like Laxmi Mittal, Abhishek Manu Singhvi, Indu Jain, Sanjiv Goenka and Rajashree Birla, to name a few, have graced our cover.
