This Is The RICHEST Indian Family In Edison...LITTLE INDIA

A mile and a half of strip malls in Edison and Iselin, New Jersey hides one of the richest, most concentrated Indian communities on Earth — and the quiet self-made figure who came to rule it. This is the story of Little India on Oak Tree Road, and of H. R. Shah: the penniless young man from a village in Gujarat who arrived in America in 1971, drove a rented limousine, became the first non-resident Indian on the planet to own an entire store chain, and then bought a struggling television channel and turned it into the most influential South Asian network in North America — all from a studio in Edison. We trace the whole arc: how Oak Tree Road became home to 400+ South Asian businesses and the single most Indian neighborhood in the United States (Iselin is 42.6% Asian Indian, the highest of any place its size in the country); how Shah took over the Krauszer's convenience-store empire and saved more than a thousand jobs while turning hundreds of immigrant families into store owners; how he rebuilt TV Asia inside a 40,000-square-foot Edison studio; and how a limousine driver ended up accepting the Padma Shri from the President of India and the Ellis Island Medal of Honor. A note on honesty: H. R. Shah has never made his personal net worth public, and this video never invents one. His standing as one of the most powerful Indian Americans in New Jersey is told through his documented empire and recognized stature — not a made-up number.
