Poorv Amdavad Na Dil Ni Vaat – Episode 4 | With Deval Soparkar In this powerful episode of Poorv Amdavad Na Dil Ni Vaat, I sit down with Deval Soparkar, one of the most dynamic businesswomen from Ahmedabad and the force behind Ashiyana Infrastructure. From growing up in East Ahmedabad to leading one of Gujarat’s biggest industrial conglomerates, her story is rooted in culture, courage, and conviction. She opens up about the Sarabhai family’s influence, why Meghmani got listed in Singapore before India, and how she made her mark in a male-dominated real estate industry. We also explore her personal take on East vs West Ahmedabad, what makes the city truly special, and who she believes should represent the spirit of Poorv Amdavad. A must-watch for every Amdavadi who believes in the city's legacy and future.
