Coal to Gold
When Savitaben started working, she had to face discrimination for being both a woman and a Dalit. But that didn’t stop her. From a small job carting half-burnt coal to brick kilns, she steadily built up her business to sell most of the coal that arrived at the Ahmedabad railway yard. Though her business thrived she couldn’t move out of her Dalit chawl until a moment of luck gave her a home in an upper-caste neighbourhood. However, the residents did not want any Dalits in their colony, and in the throes of the anti-reservation protests of 1985, her house was burnt down. Shoved back into ‘her place’, Savitaben resolved to build her business into an unassailable force. With deft investments and an iron will, Savitaben’s business now has a turnover of Rs 50 crore, and the woman who once sold coal now sells gold. Find out how Savita triumphed over a system designed to work against her in this story.
The Giving Tree
‘Till the palaash tree has leaves, don’t think of yourself as poor.’ This was the motto of Ashok Khade’s father. It was a tough one to remember when a single mistake Ashok made—a stumble that spilled a pack of flour—meant that his family would go hungry. The crippling famine of 1975 forced Ashok to give up his college education to keep his family afloat. From his dreams of becoming a doctor he was forced to face reality as a welding apprentice on a ship dockyard. But that did not stop him. Through hard work, strategic thinking and enormous courage, Ashok built his own company from scratch, DAS Offshore. He called himself K. Ashok so that his caste would not define his success, and fought to make his company one of the most respected and upstanding in its field—and in the process became a Dalit Millionaire. Read on to find out how he did it.

From the young boy who had to work as a cycle-rickshaw puller to a tycoon with a multi-business empire, Hari Kishan has fought his way to the top. When he got his first loan—Rs 15,000—it came from a personal contact who had faith in him. Though his family felt it was a lottery, Hari Kishan was determined to spend it only on business. So he left his family home and the pressure to spend it on personal demands, and ran from pillar to post to get an order of 10,000 shoes from the government and never looked back. Within a matter of months, his credit shot up in lakhs, and soon his company was manufacturing for Bata, Hush Puppies as well as a luxury line of their own—Harryksons. Since then he has diversified into restaurants, marriage halls and even hospitals. Hari Kishan’s legacy has withstood the barriers society put up to impede his progress as a Dalit. Now he is determined to do right by his people and use his power to change society. Read more about this powerful and inspiring story.
