Why are Gujaratis so successful?

If we think on similar lines, why Jewish are successful entrepreneurs? I see a combination of two factors - Painful History + Societal support. Painful history = A particular region after multiple natural, man made calamities learnt the survival instinct. Gujarat, suffered immensely from earthquakes, plagues and partition. Societal support = Entrepreneurship is a positive word in GJ, unlike in some regions of the country where businessmen is projected in negative light always. Pick any 70-80s Bollywood movie, you’ll notice Sethji/Lalaji in bad light. Poverty porn was real in India. Some rulers (pre independence) promoted trades and it became a mainstream thing.

Marwaris, Parsis, Chettiars, Sindhis, Reddys, Punjabis crying in corner 😭

Business minded people

Generally they are known to have strong business acumen and have a long-standing tradition of trade and commerce. Combine that with hard work, resilience, and close-knit community support, no surprise they’ve seen success.
