Vedanta Chairman Shares His Father's Advice That Kept Him Motivated: "Baat Karne Se..."

On the occasion of Father's Day, Vedanta Group Founder and Chairman Anil Agarwal took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a conversation he had with his father Dwarka Prasad Agarwal during his difficult times. Mr Agarwal shared how that chat taught him important life skills, honouring his "bauji."

"During my years of struggle in Bombay, ek shaam main aur Bauji Marine Drive pe baithe the. He asked me to take a break and go back home to Patna with him for a few days. I was upset and silent," he said alongside a picture

He continued by saying that the talk had taught him to never give up and that it had brought him closer to his father. "He was trying to boost my morale aur apni struggle ki stories sunaane lage. Mera dard toh kam nahi hua par Bauji ka saath paake confidence build hua ki give up nahi karenge," Mr Agarwal added.
