About Rohan
A builder, not a politician
The son of a first-generation entrepreneur, carrying a legacy of enterprise and service from Solapur to a national vision for New India.
The story
From Solapur to a national vision
My journey is tied to the soil of Solapur — a city once known for its textile mills, beedi industry and railway junction. Growing up as the son of Subhash Bapu Deshmukh, I learned that enterprise and service belong together.
His story still inspires me — a school dropout who started with odd jobs in a poultry factory and became a first-generation entrepreneur, building from a grocery shop and dairy farm to one of Solapur's largest sugar factories.
But his real identity was investing in people. I inherited his values: humility in success, grit in struggle, and the belief that leadership means service.
In his words
Rohan talks about why he wrote this book
A short conversation on what the manifesto is really about — and why it's a call to action, not just another book on the shelf.
Video coming soon“New India is not a hashtag. It is not a slogan. It is the foundation of tomorrow — new thoughts, new vision, and the drumbeat of a new revolution rising from our rural heartland.”
— Rohan Subhash Deshmukh
