JSW’s Sajjan Jindal marked his 60th birthday at his estate in the hill station.

Family, music and spirituality. These three key aspects of Sajjan Jindal’s life formed the basis of his 60th birthday celebrations on December 5, and the days that led up to it.

According to a source, the JSW Group chair spent a couple of days at the ghats of Varanasi with his family. This was followed by a dinner party in Mumbai. The action then shifted to Mahabaleshwar, a hill station in Maharashtra, on D-Day. The Jindals recently restored an estate there named Babington, which gets its name from a popular vantage point in the mountains.


Passionate about music, Jindal rarely misses a chance to sing at family events. On this occasion, singer Aryan reportedly performed for the select audience in Mahabaleshwar comprising only family and a few friends.

It has been a period of milestones and commemoration for the Jindals. In November, Sajjan’s granddaughter Tara, the daughter of Tanvi Jindal, celebrated her third birthday. The kiddies’ party was held by the pool at Tanvi’s house in Bandra. Sangita Jindal, Sajjan’s wife, recently took 45 students from their school — the Jindal Vidya Mandir — to Italy for about a week. The itinerary included an audience with the Pope. Daughters Tanvi and Tarini accompanied her on the trip.

On Thursday, former Indian skipper and current BCCI president Sourav Ganguly tweeted a special birthday greet for Jindal. Ganguly called the JSW MD a fantastic human being and wished him success.

Jindal responded to Ganguly's tweet and revealed that he is happy to see Indian cricket and BCCI in safe hands.

“Absorb and learn as much as you can. I did that during my internships. I felt that I should be going beyond my area of learning. If I was put in one division, I was rarely found there. I would be all over the company, learning everyone’s jobs. I am curious about how things work and just learning from everybody is very important.”

“Gen Z is great at communication, storytelling and are fearless in their choices. They should focus on developing fundamental deep skill sets early on like Patrick and John Collison.

“Today, it’s easy to get disillusioned and think of switching jobs. I see that a lot in people who are 24 years and under. They want a fast-paced job. [But] I think for you to enjoy or excel in any job, you must give it time. You have to be there for at least two to three years to actually get a hold of things, to go deep into the role before deciding to move on. Whether it’s manufacturing or a startup, an established organisation or a new one – any job is equally exciting and one should actually think about how they can contribute to that role or to that organisation rather than thinking, ‘Oh, this is boring, I want to move on. I want to do something cool’. Only when you understand a subject properly, can you contribute.”
