So let's decode his amazing journey with all the excitement and respect. Just look at this number, only ₹5000. In today's time, you might think that this is a very small amount. Isn't it? But in 1985, when a young CA started his investment journey, this was the total amount of capital he had in his pocket.
That extraordinary journey from a very ordinary beginning to reaching the very pinnacle of the stock market started with just this small number. Let us now understand this in a little more depth.

In his final days, he proved that he was more than just a stock trader.
When he decided to start a new airline in a very difficult and challenging sector like aviation, many people raised questions. But for him, risk did not mean blindly gambling. For him, risk meant getting involved in something whose outcome was not certain and he was fully prepared for any outcome. August 7, 2022 is the day when Akasa Air 's first commercial flight took off from Mumbai to Ahmedabad.
Despite being seriously ill, he witnessed this historic moment on a wheelchair. But who knew that destiny had something else in store. Exactly a week after this launch, on August 14, he breathed his last at the age of 62. The void created in the Indian business world by his sudden demise is almost impossible to fill.
