A great loss to the business community. Men like him built the industrial backbone of modern India. His passion for Indian culture alongside business is a model we need more of. Deepest condolences.

Respectful criticism: While paying tribute is important, I hope the government's focus remains on creating a fair ecosystem for *all* businesses, not just celebrating a few giants. The Startup India event is a good step in that direction.
