Bipinbhai, Who Hails From Bhadra, A Small Village In Saurashtra With Only 11 Standard Passes, Described His Journey In A Telephonic Conversation With Divya Bhaskar. When Divyabhaskar Called Him, He Was Lying In Bed At His New Plant In Modasa.

Your Name Has Been Included In The List Of Richest People Of Gujarat. How Do You Feel About This?

Bipinbhai: You Seem To Be Doing Something Wrong. My Wife Daksha's Name Is Not Mine. A Few Days Ago, I Read That My Wife's Name Was Among The Richest Women In Gujarat. I Found Out Today That My Name Has Also Come Up.

Why Didn't You Come Up With The Idea Of   Studying Further?

I Failed In 12th Standard So I Didn't Think Of Studying Further. It Was At That Time That The Village Was Our Shop And We Used To Go Straight To Work From School. We Would Get Up Early In The Morning And Go To Jetpur To Study And In The Afternoon We Would Go To Work At Our Grocery Store. In Such A Situation, There Is Not Much Time To Study.

What Is Your Hobby

I Like To Travel Every Year I Go To India Or Abroad With My Wife Daksha And Family. Has Toured 7 Countries So Far. I Can't Go Anywhere Right Now Because Of Corona But I Come Back To My Plants To Fulfill My Hobbies. Also I Like To Jam People. My Father Started Raising Children In Our Village On Makarsankranti In 1980. Even Today We Have Maintained This Tradition. I Like To Be With People And That Is Why I Spend More Time With My Factory Workers, Eat With Them And Talk About Their Joys And Sorrows. I Believe That God Has Given Me Intelligence And Money So I Should Work For Others.

Stay In Touch With Old Friends In The Village Even Today?

I Go To The Village Every Two Months. There Are My Friends, Meet Them Invariably. Even If I Have More Money Than Him Today, It Doesn't Make Any Difference To My Friendship. All This Has Become Like Krishna Sudama. He Doesn't Have To Ask, We Have To Understand In Our Own Way. I Know That If They Need Help, I Do Not Know How To Do It. The Money Came Today, But They Are All My Childhood Friends.

What Kind Of Relationship Do You Have With Your Staff, Since Most Of Your Workers Are Women?

We Currently Have About 3000 Production Staff, Of Which About 1500 Are Girls. My Wife Daksha Stays With Him Constantly And Our Efforts Are Such That The Girls Take Care Not To Miss Even Her Mom. We Don't Have Daughters So These Girls Are Our Daughters. We Treat Them Like Daughters And I Love My Wife. We Give Kariyavar Bonus To Every Virgin Girl Who Works With Us. Every Year He Gets Rs. Giving 25000. He Has Also Built A Hostel To Live In. In An Emergency Like Corona, They Are Provided With Facilities Including Accommodation And Meals So That They Do Not Have Any Problem And Also Have No Difficulty In Coming And Going And Daksha Manages It Completely.

How Did You Get Into The Salt Business?

Farsana Was Also Sold At Our Shop In Bhadra. My Father Taught Me How To Make Farsan And He Used To Make Salt For My Elder Brother Mahendrabhai. Big Brother Taught Me And Prafulbhai To Make Different Snacks. I've Been Doing All This Since I Was 13, So I Came Up With The Idea. In The Beginning, They Used To Make And Sell Chewing Gum In The Village Without Any Name And Then In The Surrounding Area. Trade In The Village Is Limited So I Decided To Come To Rajkot.

How Did It Start In Rajkot And How Did It Move Forward?

I Started The Business With My Cousin In 1990. At That Time We Both Brothers Had A Partnership Of Rs. 8500 And Started Selling Chewing Gum Under The Name Of Gokul. I Later Handed Over The Brand To Him And Made A Fresh Start In 1994 At Our Home In Rajnagar, Rajkot. I Had Nothing Then. Borrowed Oil And Gram Flour And Thus Started Gopal Namkeen At Home. Our Different Types Of Arthritis Cost People Even More Today. As The Business Grew, So Did The Machinery And At The Same Time Took Up Space And Built Semi-Automatic And Automatic Plants.

What Kind Of Support Has Been Received From The Wife In Developing The Business?

Daksha And I Were Married In 1993 Before The Launch Of The Gopal Brand. Since Then She Has Always Been With Me And Is Still Active Today (Dakshaben Is The Third Richest Woman In Gujarat). At Every Stage She Is Standing By My Side. Among Other Family Members, Elder Brother Prafulbhai Has Also Been Associated With The Company For A Long Time. My Son Raj Has Also Been Carrying Out Many Responsibilities For The Last Two Years.

If There Were Many Other Brands In The Market At The Time Of The Launch, What Was The Strategy For Moving Forward?

Our Father Taught That If You Make Anything, You Should Make It The Way You Make It At Home, Not For Sale. Never Use Light Goods And Never Think Of Profit. We Have Focused More On Backward Integration To Move The Business Forward. Other Companies Rely On Outsiders For Sales, Marketing, Logistics As Well As Machinery, But We Make The Machines For Production, Marketing, Production Ourselves. Transport Is Also Our Own. We Buy Raw Material Directly From The Market As Well As From Farmers. All Of This Adds Up To 75% To Our Costs.

What Level Does The Company Want To Reach Now?

Gopal Plans To Have A Factory Every 500 Km In India. We Want To Build 5 Big Plants In Different Parts Of The Country. At Present There Are Plants In Rajkot As Well As Nagpur. In Addition, Large Plants Are To Be Set Up Around Delhi, Kolkata And Bengaluru. In Addition 20 Small Plants Are To Be Built To Save Logistical Time. We Will Complete This Entire Project In The Next 10 Years At An Estimated Cost Of Rs. Will Invest More Than Rs 1000 Crore. One Of Our Wafer Plants Is Being Built In Modasa, Which Will Start In A Month. Here We Are Building Gujarat's Largest Cold Storage Of 35000 Tons.

HOW ELON MUSK'S FORTUNE INCREASED 7 TIMES IN A YEAR, EVEN THOUGH HE NEVER TOOK CELERY FROM TESLA

Elon Musk, CEO Of Tesla And Spacex, Has Become The Richest Man In The World. According To A Bloomberg Report, Tesla's Share Price Rose 4.8% On Thursday And Elon's Net Worth Reached .5 188.5 Billion (Rs 13.80 Lakh Crore). Amazon Owner Jeff Bezos Has A Net Worth Of 7 187 Billion (Rs 13.69 Lakh Crore).


Even Though Elon Is The Richest Man In The World, He Will Not Be Happy Until He Takes Man To Mars. He Said This In 2016. He Said We Should Not Celebrate Happiness Unless We Establish Colonies On Mars.

Elon Musk Was The 35th Richest Person In The Bloomberg Billionaire Index In January 2020, But In 10 Months He Surpassed Bill Gates And Now Tops The List Behind Jeff Bezos.

Made A Video Game At The Age Of 10

Elon Musk Was Born On 28 June 1971 In Pretoria.  His Mother Maye Musk Is A Canadian Model. Her Father Errol Musk Was From South Africa And Was An Electro-Mechanical Engineer There. Elon's Parents Divorced When Elon Was 9 Years Old.

Click here to Latest Information Of India

Elon Did A Computer Coding Course When He Was 10 Years Old. Then Created A Video Game Blaster. The Game He Sold At The Age Of 12 For 500. 4000 Rupees At That Time.

Elon Musk Has Two Degrees, One In Economics And The Other In Physics. He Took Admission To Stanford University In The United States In 1995 For A Phd, But Dropped Out Two Days Later Because He Wanted To Start His Own Startup.

Entered Tesla By Investment

Many Believe That Elon Musk Started Tesla. But This Is Not True. Tesla Motors Was Started By Martin Eberhard And Mark Tarping In July 2003. In February 2004, Elon Musk Invested 7. 7.5 Million (About Rs 33 Crore At The Time). With This Investment Elon Also Became Chairman Of Tesla.

Elon Became CEO Of Tesla In October 2008. By Then, He Had Invested 7 70 Million (About Rs 300 Crore) In The Company. In June 2010, Tesla Launched An IPO. With This, The Company's Shares Rose 1,229%.

There Was A Time When Tesla Had To Take Out A Loan. Tesla Borrowed 46 465 Million (Approximately Rs 220 Crore) From The US Government In 2009. He Repaid The Loan In 2013.

How Much Does Elon Musk Earn From Tesla?

Elon Musk Owns 20.8% Of Tesla's Stock, Which Is Currently Valued At 150 150 Billion, Or More Than Rs 10 Lakh Crore. Shares Of Tesla Have Risen More Than 700% In The Past Year. That's Why Elon Musk, Once The 35th Richest Person In The World, Is Now Number One.

Musk's Net Worth In 2020 Was More Than 140 140 Billion (Rs 10 Lakh Crore). A Year Ago, Musk Had A Net Worth Of Rs 1.80 Lakh Crore. But Now Its Total Assets Are Rs 13.80 Lakh Crore. That Is, Their Networth Has Increased 7 Times In A Year. Forbes Said It Was The Highest-Grossing Billionaire Ever Since He Began Compiling A List Of The World's Richest People.

Surprisingly, Musk Doesn't Even Get A Celery From Tesla. He Received 23 23,760 (Approximately Rs. 17.50 Lakh) As Basic Salary In 2019. This Is Because California Has A Law That Provides A Minimum Basic Salary. Musk Will Not Receive Celery From Tesla Until 2028.

So The Question Is How To Earn? The Point Is That An Agreement Has Been Reached Between Musk And Tesla. The Company's Board Has Set 16 Milestones. Elon Musk Has The Responsibility To Complete It. As The Milestone Is Completed, Musk Will Acquire About 1.7 Million Shares Of The Company.

Under The Agreement, Musk Will Receive 2.02 Million Shares Of Tesla In 12 Parts Over The Next 10 Years. In May 2020, They Have Received 1.7 Million Shares. The Shares Will Fetch Him A Strike Price Of 350 350.02, But Musk's Earnings Will Be Determined By The Share Price At The Time.

Neutral Corona On Tesla

The Corona Epidemic Devastated The World In 2020, But Did Not Affect Tesla. On January 2, 2020, Tesla's Share Price Was 86 86.05 (Rs. 6300). It Rose To 8 816.04 (Approximately Rs. 60,000) On January 8, 2021. That Means The Company’s Share Price Rose About 850% In 1 Year.

Not Only The Share Price But Also The Profit Of The Company Increased. The Company Had Posted A Profit Of Rs 827 Crore For The Quarter Ended December 31, 2019, Up From Rs 2,198 Crore In September 2020. That Means Profits Rose 165%. Similarly, In September 2020, The Company's Revenue Was Over Rs 64,000 Crore.

Where Else Does Elon Musk Make Money?

Elon Musk Is Also The CEO Of Spacex Along With The CEO Of Tesla. Spacex Is A Private Company And Is Not Listed. So Its Actual Data Cannot Be Countered. In July 2020, Morgan Stanley Estimated The Market Value Of Spacex At 200 200 Billion (Approximately Rs 14.65 Lakh Crore) In His Research.

According To A CNBC Report, Musk Owns .3 15.3 Billion (Rs 1.12 Lakh Crore) Worth Of Shares In Spacex. Apart From This Musk Is Also The Founder Of A Boring Company. The Company Was Started By Musk In 2018. The Company Was Started With The Help Of .2 11.2 Crore (Rs 800 Crore), Of Which 90% Was From Musk.

8 Beauty Tips That Will Also Improve Your Health

Treat Yourself Right, From The Inside Out. Here Are Eight Beauty Habits That Will Also Boost Your Health.

Drink Less Alcohol (And More Water)

Dr. Stephen Mulholland, A Plastic Surgeon In Toronto, Says Excessive Alcohol Consumption-More Than One Or Two Drinks A Day-Puts Strain On The Liver. This Can Result In Dilated Pores, Dilated And Broken Capillaries, As Well As The Overgrowth Of Sweat And Oil Glands.

Unfortunately, This Occurs Most Often In The Face (Particularly The Nose), Though Other Areas Of The Skin Are Vulnerable, Too. But He Still Believes In The Health Benefits Of Red Wine, And Says One Glass A Day Will Not Harm The Skin-Unless You Suffer From Rosacea. A Survey By The National Rosacea Society In The U.S. Found That 76 Percent Of Sufferers Cited Red Wine As A Trigger For Flare-Ups.

Exfoliate Your Skin


Dead Skin Cells Equal Dull Skin Tone. And By Not Getting Rid Of Them, You’re Sabotaging The Hydrating Effects Of Body Cleansers And Moisturizers As They Try To “Battle Through” The Buildup Barrier. Use A Body Scrub About Twice A Week. Alternatively, Try Daily Dry-Body Brushing Before Showering.

Using A Brush Or Loofah Mitt, Buff Your Skin In Circular Motions (Don’t Scrub Too Hard), Starting With The Soles Of Your Feet, Then Working Upward On Legs, Front And Back. Pay Special Attention To Backs Of The Thighs, Upper Arms And Hips. Of Course, In The Shower, You Can Use A Nylon Puff Or Sea Sponge With Your Favourite Body Cleanser For A More Gentle Slough.

Embrace A Fuller Brow



One Of The Biggest Beauty Mistakes Is To Go Wild With The Tweezers-Too-Thin Brows (Think Pamela Anderson) But It Can Age You. And Compensating With Makeup Is Never As Good As Having Full Natural Brows, Says Kira Thompson, Owner Of The Brow House In Toronto, Which Does Professional Brow Shaping. And You Also Don’t Want To End Up With A Shape That’s Not Naturally Yours, Like A Rounded Clown Brow Or A Hook (A.K.A. “Tadpole”) Shape.

Thompson Recommends Learning From A Professional About The Shape Of Your Own Brows And How They Grow, And What Works For You To Keep Them Groomed.

Exercise Regularly

Exercise Definitely Gives You More Energy And Keeps You In Shape. But New Research From Mcmaster University Suggests That Endurance Exercise Might Help Fight, And Even Reverse, The Signs Of Aging, Such As Balding, Grey Hair And Thinning Skin.

Endurance Exercise Is Aerobic Activity-Such As Brisk Walking, Running Or Cycling-That Improves Cardio-Respiratory Fitness, According To The Canadian Society For Exercise Physiology. The Longer You Can Do Aerobic Exercise, The More Endurance You Have.

In The Mcmaster Study, Lead Researcher Dr. Mark Tarnopolsky Had Mice With Physical Characteristics Comparable To A Middle-Aged Person Do 45-Minute Runs Three Times A Week. Their Skin Became Tighter, And Their Fur Grew Back And Stopped Turning Grey.

Stop Picking At Pimples

Never Pick At Your Skin, Says Dermatologist Dr. Lisa Kellett Of DLK On Avenue In Toronto. “Picking Can Cause Scarring And Infection,” She Explains, “And The Skin Doesn’t Heal Properly.” It’s Important To Note That Acne Scarring Is Actually Caused By Picking And Not The Acne Itself, Dr. Kellett Notes-So Keep Hands Off For Clearer Skin.

Remove Your Makeup Before Bed

By Not Cleansing Before Bed, You’re Leaving Your Pores Clogged With Leftover Makeup And Sweat, Says Manuela Marcheggiani, A Cosmetic Chemist And Co-Founder Of Canada’s Isomers (Skin Care) Lab­oratories.

The Result: Dull, Breakout-Prone Skin. Leaving On Your Eye Makeup Could Even Cause Eye Irritation And Broken Lashes.

On Nights When You’re Too Tired, Use Pre-Saturated Cleansing Cloths Before You Crash.

Stop Shampooing Every Day

Some Women Just Don’t Feel Clean If They Don’t Shampoo Daily. But Washing Your Hair That Often Depletes Your Scalp Of The Natural Oils That Make Hair Shiny And Manageable, Says High-Profile Canadian Hairstylist Marc Anthony. It May Make Hair Greasier As Your Body Overproduces Oils To Compensate.

Instead, Try Shampooing Every Other Day. “If Hair Is Flat, Run Damp Hands Through It And Blow-Dry On Low To Bring Back Volume,” Suggests Anthony. It Helps If You Don’t Go Wild On Hairspray And Gel The First Day. You Could Also Try A “Dry” Shampoo.

Apply Sunscreen Daily

Skin Cancer Is The Most Common Form Of Cancer In Canada, And Those With Fair Skin Are At Increased Risk. “Exposure To Ultraviolet Radiation From The Sun Or Indoor Tanning Equipment And Having Fair Skin Are The Most Common Risk Factors For Skin Cancer,” Says Lynda Macniven, Senior Prevention Coordinator For The Canadian Cancer Society, Ontario Division. “People Who Work, Or Exercise, In The Sun For Long Periods Of Time Are At Greater Risk.”
