Subrata Roy Sahara is the author of the books Shanti, Sukh: Santushti; Maan, Samman, Atmasamman; and Life Mantras. He is the founder of Sahara India Pariwar and one of the most successful, bold, vociferous and talked-about figures of corporate India.
A mentor, guide and a proud guardian to his over 1.2 million fellow workers, he ascribes his success to his philosophy of ‘Collective Materialism’ which means continuous and collective growth through collective sharing and caring.
Subrata laid the foundation of Sahara in the year 1978 with a capital of Rs. 2000 (approx. $32) and three workers. It is hard to believe that even Subrata himself would have imagined the meteoric rise of his humble initiative to become a company worth Rs.1,80,000 crore (about $27 billion)within a span of thirty-seven years.
Renowned institutions like Harvard School of Business, USA; the Indian Institutes of Technology; the Indian Institutes of Management; and Banaras Hindu University have invited him to address their faculty and students, besides which, a host of awards have been bestowed on him that include the ‘Indian Business Icon of the Year’ at the Powerbrands Hall of Fame Awards in London; the Doctor of Business (honoris causa)by the University of East London; and the highest honorary degree ‘D. Litt.’ by the Lalit Narayan Mithila University, Bihar for his contributions in various fields.
