Wanted: Executive director, jail

The Amri hospital fire tragedy and the subsequent jailing of the directors from both Emami and Shrachi groups have forced some “parivartan” in thinking among West Bengal’s business community. A prominent Kolkata-based industrialist recently said he was looking to quit all boards of which he is a member — including those of his own company. He also joked that many companies are mulling the appointment of a “jail director”, who will be part of the board and justify his salary by serving jail time in case anything was to go wrong.
