The Four Continent Man: Surviving and Thriving Against the Odds: The Life and Legacy of Sushil Gupta

A Powerful Testimony of a Life Well Lived

Born amidst humble beginnings in a rural town in British-ruled Kenya, Sushil Gupta went on to develop retail and distribution businesses in far flung towns across Kenya, Tanzania, and England. When his father--a powerful motivator in his life--retired from their trade, Sushil took his family to India and then the United Kingdom to start a new life. In so doing he had literally traveled through, worked in, or started businesses in four continents: always against the odds and always with success. But it wasn't always easy.

The Four Continent Man is an intriguing account of a kind, intelligent, hard-working family man who never shrank from obstacles in his life's calling. Whether steering through a herd of wild elephants or forging strategic partnerships to open new distribution channels, Sushil Gupta survived and thrived. However productive his life was, the reader will find his greatest legacy is his family. Expressed in vignettes and anecdotes throughout the book are testimonies of his absolute love and dedication to his extended family. Most notably are those who, like their father and grandfather, left the comfort of their homes to forge a new life in America. In so doing, the Gupta travel and adventure genes live on.
