Thirty-seven profiles of builders who arrived in a new country with a suitcase and a work ethic — and built the rest themselves. Published in three installments.
Part one features Alfredo Duarte, Arnaldo Bomnin, Bedros Keuilian and Bharat Desai. Part two features John Tu, Josie Natori, Jyoti Bansal and Mariam Naficy; part three, Raj Sardana, Randall Pich, Safwan Shah and Sheila Marcelo.
The countries they left differ, and so do the industries they entered. What the thirty-seven share is the sequence: arrival, work, ownership — told here profile by profile, each fact-checked against its sources.
