“When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.” – Henry Ford

Some journeys begin with a dream, shaped by humble beginnings and strengthened by the courage to step beyond surroundings. Over time, that dream can cross borders, embrace new cultures, overcome challenges and evolve into something greater than imagined. True entrepreneurship means recognising opportunities, adapting to change, creating experiences, and opening doors for others. From the flavours of Kerala to international ventures spanning hospitality, tourism, retail, facility management and sports, one journey reflects ambition, resilience and evolution. At its heart is Jijin Jimmichan, whose vision continues to grow beyond borders. This edition’s cover story explores his evolution from a village dreamer to an entrepreneur with a vision.

This edition features an article by V. P. Nandakumar, Chairman & Managing Director of Manappuram Finance Limited, titled “Before the First Tap: Why Money Habits Must Be Taught at Home.” He highlights the importance of nurturing financial awareness and how habits formed at home can shape financial decisions.

Enriching this issue is a selection of content spanning travel and tourism, finance, business stories, lifestyle and perspectives from leaders.
