….[H]ow, I ask Pandey, did you dream up that idea? “My friend, Subhash Chandra [a TV mogul] bought a British company,” he says. “He did it out of patriotism - to show the British. So what did he buy? “He hunted till he found the original [name of the company here].” It was in shipping, a business Chandra knew nothing about. “We all said: are you crazy?” That didn’t matter; he’d shown them.
