Profile


Name: Vikrant Jawharkar

Chinese Name: 洛基

Nationality: Indian

Occupation: Businessman

国籍:印度

职业:商人


Once you visit the Yiwu market, you never want to leave/逛了一次义乌市场,再也不想离开



In 2003, Vikrant left his hometown of Mumbai, India to work at a foreign trade company run by an Indian in Guangzhou. In 2004, a South American client mentioned Yiwu to Vikrant, saying: "The market in Yiwu is huge, and has a rich and complete range of products." His boss agreed to let Vikrant accompany their client to Yiwu.



2003年,洛基离开家乡孟买,来到广州一家印度人开设的外贸公司工作。2004年,一位来自南美的客人向他提起了义乌:“义乌市场很大,商品丰富齐全。”洛基的老板同意让洛基陪客户去趟义乌。


His first trip to Yiwu was eye-opening as the small commodities market presented a dazzling array of high-quality and affordable goods. In 2005, Vikrant's boss opened a company branch in Yiwu and Vikrant took charge of the business. In 2007, when the boss decided to retire and close the company, Vikrant founded his own foreign trade company in Yiwu called Fortune Trading Co Ltd.



洛基的首次义乌之旅,就被小商品市场震撼了,这里不仅拥有琳琅满目的商品,还价廉物美。2005年,老板在洛基的强烈建议下在义乌建立了分公司,由洛基负责业务。2007年,老板打算退休,关闭了公司,于是洛基在义乌创立了自己的外贸公司赴顺(Fortune)贸易有限公司。


Building a Sino-Indian bridge through import-export business/做进出口生意,做联通中印的桥梁

Vikrant is mainly engaged in the export of daily-use commodities, and his products are exported to more than 10 countries and regions, including the UAE, India, South America, and Africa. To tap into overseas markets, he also opened companies in India, South America, and Dubai. The largest volume of products is exported to India. 



洛基主要从事日用商品的出口贸易,产品出口迪拜、印度、南美、非洲等10多个国家和地区。为了更好地开拓和布局海外市场,他还在印度、南美、迪拜等地开设了公司。其中出口印度的量最大。


In addition to working hard to promote Sino-Indian economic and trade exchanges, Vikrant has also been acting as a bridge to promote cultural exchanges. Beginning in 2013, he and his friends introduced India's national sport of cricket to Yiwu. Every August, Yiwu hosts an international cricket tournament, which has been popular among Yiwu-based Indians, locals and other foreigners. 



除了努力促进中印经贸交流,在促进文化交流中,洛基也不遗余力地担当起桥梁作用。从2013年开始,洛基和朋友们把印度的“国球”板球运动引入了义乌,每年8月,义乌都会举办国际板球比赛,不仅获得了在义乌生活的印度人欢迎,也有很多其他国家以及义乌本地的“粉丝”参与。


In 2016, Vikrant invited Shyam Jaju, national vice-president of the Bharatiya Janata Party, to Yiwu. This was the first time an Indian leader of this level had visited Yiwu. In 2019, Vikrant accompanied the leaders of the Yiwu municipal government during a trip to Mumbai. His involvement and initiative have shortened the cultural distance between the two cities.



2016年,洛基邀请印度人民党副主席Shyam Jaju来义乌,这是该级别官员首次访问义乌;2019年,洛基主动牵线,陪同义乌市政府相关领导考察孟买,拉近了义乌与孟买的距离。


Motivating people to do charity together/带动身边人,一起做公益


Vikrant's enthusiasm for life has given many Yiwu-based Indian businessmen a sense of belonging in the Chinese city. Together, they have organized and participated in various activities to give back to Chinese communities.



在义乌经商的印度人很多,热心的洛基很快就把老乡们聚集在一起。洛基的热情让很多在义乌的印度商人有了归属感。洛基和朋友们在一起除了谈生意和聚会,做得最多的是组织和参与各种公益活动。


In 2015, Vikrant gathered more than 100 Indian businessmen in Yiwu and participated in a blood donation drive. An increasing number of people have since joined this cause. Today, this group of blood donors includes fellow Indians as well as his colleagues and acquaintances from South America, Africa and China.



2015年洛基联系了有关部门,获得了大力支持,他和100多名在义乌的印度商人参加无偿献血活动。此后,越来越多的朋友加入了洛基的行列,不只有印度人,还有南美、非洲和中国的朋友。


Over the past 10 years, Vikrant and his team have regularly visited orphanages and elderly people residing in the countryside, participated in a slew of volunteer activities and donated masks to the community.



在义乌10多年来,洛基和他的团队坚持定期去福利院慰问和陪伴小朋友,去农村慰问老人,去街头当志愿者,为社区捐赠口罩……


On February 26, the Yiwu municipal government awarded Vikrant for his outstanding contributions to creating a "civilized city of national level". 


"I am the only foreigner in Yiwu to have received this award, and this makes me more motivated to work even harder for our community and for Yiwu. Yiwu is my second home, and I'm deeply connected to this city. I'm very proud to be a new resident of Yiwu."



2月26日,因为在创建全国文明城市工作中的突出表现,义乌市政府授予洛基个人三等功。“我是唯一一个获得这个奖项的外国人,这使我更有动力为我们的社区和义乌加倍努力。义乌是我的第二故乡,我与这座城市已经血脉相连,作为一个新义乌人,我感到很自豪!”
