They are successful men of the world. But for their daughters, they are simply doting dads, their first hero. Daughters of these famous businessmen share what they love most about their fathers:

“I admire my father for his honesty, fearlessness, logical thinking and sense of fairness. Also, his ability to immediately acknowledge his mistakes. Something, I hope to have imbibed. We spend quality time on vacations. The ones that come to mind are the 12-night Scandinavia cruise, a week’s holiday in Capri and Florence, and four days at the Ananda resort in Rishikesh [a few years ago].”

Positivity, tenacity, optimism, internal strength and a high degree of fairness are the qualities that she admires the most in her father. She says that the family time and conversation over the years have instilled the strong values and focus she has today. “We continue to connect that way. As a ritual, every year, our entire family goes for a vacation to Alibaug to spend time together at our farmhouse.”

“He is my inspiration, and best friend, though he is my tough boss in the office,” Sanjana says.
“He is the best father in the world, and we share a love of cars… my favourite is the Bentley, his is the BMW,” Sarah adds.

“He is a man of fine taste and a perfectionist. He prioritises any commitments he makes. I remember, when I started my business, dad would always send me a pen and diary to take notes at meetings. This has now become a natural part of my work ethic.”
