01Rajkot
Rajkot engines, foundries and gold
The city’s workshops make diesel engines, pumps, castings and auto components in thousands of small units, and its gold and silver jewellery trade keeps design and accounting busy. Most firms are family-run, so one person often handles drawings, costing and the books.
That makes broad, practical skills more valuable than narrow specialisms, and online evening classes let owners learn without closing the workshop early.
