There's a Marwari business family in Mumbai worth over ₹2,000 crore.
They own textile mills, real estate, and a logistics network across six states. You won't find them on any rich list. Their patriarch still lives in the same Bandra building they bought in 1972. No one outside their community knows their name.
They love to stay the boring Marwari business owners. No fuss, no drama.
Here's what staying boring actually means:
- Avoid headlines
- Avoid lawsuits
- Avoid trends
What boring looks like in practice:
Factories, not fancy offices. Bonds, not Bitcoin. Distribution businesses, not disruptive startups. The family that owns the warehouse storing the trendy product makes more money, with less stress, than the founder with the TechCrunch profile.
They bought commercial property in Surat in 1985 for ₹40 lakh. Today it's worth ₹50 crore. No headlines. No TV interviews. Just rent checks every month for 40 years. That's generational wealth; built in silence, preserved through patience.
The part no one admits: Being interesting is inversely correlated with staying wealthy.
Real wealth is invisible. It doesn't have a logo. It doesn't have a documentary. It doesn't have an opinion on LinkedIn.
Every third Instagram reel today is about #AkshayeKhanna. People are mimicking his dance steps. Entertainment journalists are calling him a talent who is finally getting his due.
Meanwhile, Akshaye Khanna is in Alibaug. Alone. Away from the limelight. On his annual eight-month break. He has probably not seen a single one of these adulations.
Life will weigh you down with failure.
Life will flood you with success.
A sthitpragya is unmoved by both abuse and applause. He doesn’t perform for either. He simply remains himself.
Be like Akshaye Khanna.
It’s the best way to be.
Sunil Gavaskar said, “A coach can prepare and guide you, but once you step in on ground, it’s players job to deliver. If you didn’t give Gautam Gambhir credit for CT or the Asia Cup win, why blame him now? Why ask for accountability. Did you ask to make him coach for a lifetime when he won trophies? Then why react now”. (India Today).
A player who’s a match winner and a lock-in in the playing XI for the World Cup should play every single game leading up to the WC if he’s in the squad irrespective of the conditions. Keep his confidence and rhythm going. #KuldeepYadav#AUSvIND
So Xavier Bartlett took just four balls to show the Indian selectors the idiocy of their decision to leave out the most potent match-winner in their squad, @imkuldeep18, in favour of a journeyman pacer like Rana. It was wrong to omit Kuldeep in England & it is absurd not to pick him in Adelaide. Awful!
