Gujarat Factory Replaces Prayer with National Anthem

Gujarat Factory Replaces Prayer with National Anthem

A factory in Gujarat, India, used to start the day with a Hindu prayer.

But as the workforce became more diverse, the owner, Maulik Shah, decided to replace the prayer with India's national anthem, 'Jana Gana Mana'.

This change was made to ensure that everyone felt included and that no one religion was given preference.

The factory, Aditya Engimach, makes important parts for various industries like defense, aerospace, and railways.

Shah believes in building advanced manufacturing capabilities in India and has been growing his business steadily.
