Born on June 10, 1948 Subrata was never a bright student. He started his business from a very small city and by the time he turned 34 he had already spread his business.
Subrata Roy was always dogged by controversies.
He founded Sahara India Pariwar in 1978 with a sum of only Rs. 2000, one office of 10 feet by 12 feet, two assistants and a vision that enabled Sahara India Group to grow into one of the major conglomerates of India, with assets having a market value of Rs. 1,09,224 crore (USD 23 billion).
