Why this is listed

“Marwari families such as the Birlas, Bajajs, Goenkas, Neotias and Singhanias are integral to Indian industry, having grown with foresight and ingenuity.”

The Evolution of Risk-Taking Marwari Businessmenforbesindia.com

“Chirawa and Nawalgarh (today towns in modern-day Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan) have for some reason historically produced the largest concentration of prominent Marwari business families. The Dalmias, for example, are from Chirawa itself, while the Birlas are from Pilani, a distance of 17 kilometres. Nawalgarh, which produced the Goenkas, Khaitans, Poddars, Kedias, Ganeriwalas and Murarkas, is only 60 kilometres away. The Singhanias, Bajajs, Mittals, Ruias and Sarafs hail from other nearby towns and villages.”
