Long before 1991, when India was inspired by the feeling that someone could make it, Mumbai from the 1970s was full of people who came from nothing and did spectacular things, said VIr Sanghvi, journalists, ‘harsh life’, In the Litfest Times session.
Examples of the Can-do of the spirits he quoted were Dhirubhai Ambani, who left the gas station officer to Tycoon, and Amitabh Bachchan.
“Amitabh is a business executive at Calcutta who works for a company called Bird and Company.
