Mahanaryaman Scindia, son of well-known politician Jyotiraditya Scindia, chose the path of entrepreneurship instead of following his family's path. His agricultural startup, MyMandi, is gaining attention for its innovative approach to farming. Despite his royal lineage and inherited wealth, Mahanaryaman is forging his own legacy.
About the plans to launch Madhya Pradesh Premier League in next 2-3 months, he told PTI, "We are going to make a league in Madhya Pradesh. There will be 5 teams. We aim to connect business, cricket and public. We aim transition of players from village to national level. Players will be getting employment. They will also be getting remuneration for playing games. It will be broadcasted on television."
Talking about his vision and plans, he told PTI, "Our PM and CM are going to open many institutions including upskilling centres in the area. Bhutan prioritises Gross National Happiness over Gross Domestic Product. It is important to find time for the family and health. It is important."
