Suits & sayings: ET's weekly roundup of wackiest whispers & murmurs in corporate corridors

Filmi Fundas
If you thought Anil Agarwal was all about mining and metals, then you’ve read him wrong. He’s also becoming a major patron of the arts. For one, the man clearly loves his Bollywood. We told you that he hosted Rishi Kapoor in London recently and last week he flew to New York for a mega awards’ bash. His company Vedanta was also a key sponsor for the annual filmi jamboree. We don’t blame him for being so starry-eyed.

Father’s Day Out
For all his machismo, Anand Mahindra is a doting father too. So, during his recent visit to the US, he made it a point to take some time off to be with his two daughters and son-in-law, all of whom are in the Big Apple. If millennials will influence mobility of the future, then we guess it makes sense to soak in the pulse of Brooklyn.

New Turf
An industrialist who left the family business for unknown reasons, is now betting on a different line. Belonging to the second generation of the family, he will now put his money on sports. To be precise, he is betting on a table tennis league that is expected to evolve along the lines of the Indian Premier League Twenty20 tournament.
