Subrata Roy Sahara, affectionately known as ‘Saharasri’, has reverberated throughout the business world, marking the end of an era for Sahara India Group.
Subrata Roy, who began his entrepreneurial journey in Gorakhpur, laid the cornerstone for ‘Sahara India Pariwar’, a conglomerate that touched the lives of millions.
In commemoration of Saharasri, Bharat Express News Channel on Thursday aired a special film unveiling the untold chapters of his life at 8 PM, followed by a tribute.
Upendrra Rai, Chairman of Bharat Express and a close associate of Saharasri, expressed deep sorrow at his passing.
Rai highlighted Saharasri’s complex yet captivating persona and emphasized his mission to reveal the real essence behind the glamorous image—a person grounded in detachment, often misunderstood for his profound love and passion.
Sahara India, under Saharasri’s leadership, became a household name across the nation, transcending borders to impact even global landscapes like London.
His stature attracted dignitaries from diverse fields, fostering friendships that reflected the influence and respect he commanded. Employment at Sahara Group once equated to the prestige of a government job, signifying the aspiration many held to be associated with the organization.
Despite his departure, Saharasri’s presence lingers among admirers, his legacy spanning regions from Bihar to Bengal, Gorakhpur to Lucknow, and reaching as far as London. His life was adorned with accolades and honors, recognizing his unparalleled contributions to society.
As the world bids adieu to Saharasri, the film airing on Bharat Express stands as a humble homage to a visionary leader whose impact will endure in the hearts of many.
