Family businesses are the unsung heroes of the Indian economy. Even though they are all around us, we fail to acknowledge their contribution to the economy. It is mostly because we are not aware of the quantum of their contribution.

Add to these unsung heroes, the forgotten heroes. These are the family business owners who worked in pre independent and pre liberalised India and set the foundation for future entrepreneurs to build on.

Our online talk #BusinessHeroes talks about the entrepreneurs who built India – the stories of their life and a peek at behind the scenes  - of the grit and determination that goes into the making of a successful entrepreneur.

Please note: The Zoom link will be shared a couple of hours before the event.
