Best Learning’s given by famous Indian personality - Navrattan Kothari

Shakespearean once said “What’s there in a name?” – Mr. Navratan Kothari, Patriarch KGK Group’s name defies the same. Navrattan Kothari’s name says it all; he represents all the characteristics of navratnas (nine gems). He represents the nine ratnas high in his persona.

 

True to his name, he shines in every sphere of life- business, education, philanthropy, hospitality or health care.  

Modest and humble to the core Heera Zhaveraat icon Mr. Navrattan Kothari always says “Govind Jo Tera hai wo tujhe samarpit karata hun (O God! I am dedicating you whatever you given to me)” – A small line but has so much to learn from.

The journey he started with passion is endless. He has witnessed a lot of success but treats them as mere junctions. He says “Aage Badte Chalo Rukne Ka Naam Nahin, (Keep moving ahead, don’t stop)” and doesn’t believe in retiring or stopping and wishes to work till his last breath. “Retirement is salvation. You should make the most of every drop of blood,” believes Philanthropist Mr. Navrattan Kothari.

Mr. Kothari has worked towards making KGK Group a global success and has succeeded with the same but his soul still lies in his motherland Jaipur. He aspires to give back to his native place in whatever way he can and says “Jis Maati mein Janm liye, uska rrin to nahin chuka sakta hun but kam zarur karne ki koshish karunga (I can’t repay the debt of my motherland but I will try to reduce it through my acts).” There is so much to learn from this son of the soil, the way he takes up every opportunity of making his native place a better place to stay.

He works towards creating new avenues to conserve the rich heritage of this historic city as his soul and heart sob for the city. “My heart pains when I see the erosion of our heritage. I have been brought up with the legendary Nahargarh fort in the backdrop and the majestic Jal Mahal a few metres away. I wish these structures to remain forever. At least memories of my dream city will be preserved for ages,” he said.

He is the one who has conquered many business frontiers but he finds his true pleasure in the upliftment of the underprivileged and the ones in need. “Manav jeevan badi mushkil se milta hai. Agar aap kisi ke kaam na aa sake to yeh vyarth hai (It’s difficult to be born as a human being. If you are not able to help others, it’s a sheer wastage of life,” he says.  

Born into a large family of four brothers and two sisters, Mr. Kothari is a torchbearer of values and loves keeping his large family bonded. “Khushiyan baantne se badti hain aur dukh baantne se kam hota hai. Agar parivar ek sath rahe to Life Insurance scheme ki kya avashyakta hai”, says this family man. 

 

The man who has achieved so much in life doesn’t believe in stopping and keeps on inspiring with his golden words. “Ishwar ne Manav jeevan karya karne ko diya hai. Ek bhi minute vyarth gawana apradh hai,” (God has human life to work, to wate even a minute is a sin)” says Mr. Kothari.
