Referring to the recentdeath of his son Angad Paul, CEO of Caparo Group, Paul said, "This is an occasion when I really miss my son, Angad, because he actually took a great deal of the responsibility from my shoulders, leaving me more time to spend on my two great interests -- children and education."
"And just a few months ago we were here to dedicate the Ambika Paul building in memory of our daughter Ambika, an angel who changed my life.
"Angad, I am proud of the contribution you made to building Caparo and all your other achievements. Both of you will always remain in our hearts," Paul said.
