Ahmedabad : In an unprecedented and historic event, the Patidar community is set to witness the country’s biggest business congregation as 1 lakh businessmen and women gather under one roof at the world’s highest Vishwa Umiyadham (VUF) in Jaspur on Sunday, the 28th. The landmark VUF Business Mahasammelan 2025 aims to transform the economic landscape of the community by creating a powerful, global business network rooted in collaboration, innovation and self-reliance.
Calling it a “turning point for community-led economic empowerment,” a senior organiser said, “For the first time in India’s history, one lakh Patidar entrepreneurs will stand together to build a business ecosystem that reaches from Gujarat to the world.”
20,000 Young Entrepreneurs to Lead the Charge
The event will see participation from more than 20,000 young entrepreneurs, making it one of the largest youth-driven business gatherings in the country. The Mahasammelan aims to build a global business network that links Patidar entrepreneurs across cities, states and international markets.
A key attraction will be the launch of the ‘VUF Business Network’ application, a unique platform that will allow entrepreneurs from sectors such as defense, IT, manufacturing, construction and others to collaborate and grow on a global stage.
An organiser added, “This platform will reshape the way Patidar entrepreneurs connect. Whether you run a small unit in Gujarat or a tech service in Canada, this application will bring everyone into one global business community.”
A Global Business Bridge Across 7 Countries
One of the landmark outcomes of the Mahasammelan is the creation of the VUF Business Network, designed to unite Patidar businessmen spread across seven countries—USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Dubai, Kenya and Africa.
The network is expected to be especially beneficial for entrepreneurs who face challenges in obtaining US visas. With this platform, they will be able to collaborate, trade and build partnerships without physically traveling to the US. Over 100 businessmen from America and Canada are confirmed to attend the event in person.
“This is not just networking—it is global business mobilisation,” said a participating industrialist. “The Patidar community will now have a unified economic voice across continents.”
Strengthening ‘Self-reliant India’ Through Defense Innovation
A major focus of the Mahasammelan will be the defense manufacturing sector, aligning with the national vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-reliant India). Entrepreneurs from defense-related industries will explore opportunities to strengthen indigenous production and support the Indian Army.
In a remarkable display of unity, 15,000 entrepreneurs will join Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel in setting a world record linked to the Self-reliant India mission.
An organiser remarked, “When the world is battling tariff wars, this conference will show how a united community can contribute to making India a global leader.”
