Dhandha, meaning business, is a term often used in common trade parlance in India. But there is no other community that fully embodies what the term stands for than the Gujaratis.

Shobha Bondres Dhandha is the story of a few such Gujaratis: Jaydev Patelthe New York Life Insurance agent credited with having sold policies worth $2.5 billion so far; Bhimjibhai Patelone of the countrys biggest diamond merchants and co-founder of the ambitious Diamond Nagar in Surat; Dalpatbhai Patelthe motelier who went on to become the mayor of Mansfield County; Mohanbhai Patela former Sheriff of Mumbai and the leading manufacturer of aluminium collapsible tubes; and Hersha and Hasu Shahowners of over a hundred hotels in the US.

Travelling across continentsfrom Mumbai to the United Statesin search of their story and the common values that bond them, Dhandha showcases the powerful ambition, incredible capacity for hard work, and the inherent business sense of the Gujaratis.
