Family man

Sahara India Pariwar, as the name suggests, makes no bones about its assumed consanguinity, calling itself the “world’s largest family”. But in these days of labour discord, the group’s Chairman Subrata Roy took it a step further, emphasising how there were “no unions” in the organisation that says it will generate 143,000 new jobs through its new retail venture. Moreover, apart from the tag of chairman, Roy is also known as the group’s managing worker, “Saharasri” and “Chief Guardian”. A lesson for India Inc? Or merely the advantages of having a largely unlisted conglomerate?
