Manak Singh Narula
On The Road
Inspired by…
… the proud patriotic legacy of my grandfather late Sardar Ishar Singh Narula– Freedom fighter and Chairman of the Indian National Army -
and my 2 best co-creations with wife Zankhana Kaur - Ishika Kaur & Ahaan Singh
… Jugaad - a term misplaced, mis-represented, mis-understood, under-leveraged in the enterprising history of India. Popularly addressed by Friends as the “Singh of Jugaad”, I am passionate to celebrate Jugaad Globally with pride, as a progressive Indian mindset and as a business unUsual “Art of the Start” and not as some unorganized Indian practice.
… the Road – my personal calling is to drive cross country & across borders covering 10,000kms per annum.
… the Sufi saying “Destination is in the Journey”
