Description

Poor Little Rich Slum explores the real life, energy, and entrepreneurial spirit of Dharavi, one of the largest slums in Mumbai. Instead of showing Dharavi only as a place of poverty, the book highlights the hard work, creativity, and determination of the people living there.

The authors present inspiring stories of small entrepreneurs, workers, social activists, craftsmen, and ordinary residents who have built businesses and communities despite difficult living conditions. The book reveals Dharavi as a self-sustaining economic ecosystem filled with ambition, survival skills, and hope.

Through interviews, observations, and photographs, Rashmi Bansal and Deepak Gandhi challenge stereotypes about slums and show the human strength and entrepreneurial mindset hidden behind urban poverty.
