The challenge has been thrown by Mahesh Prasad Agarwal, brother of the late Dwarka Prasad Agarwal, who claims he owns 30 per cent in Dwarka Prasad Agarwal & Brothers, the company that holds the Dainik Bhaskar title. His son, Sanjay, says, "If D B Corp does not fully own the Dainik Bhaskar title, how can it use the brand name to raise money?" However, D B Corp executives claimed there was no dispute over the title as it had been settled by the Supreme Court order of July 2003.
A reception often reserved for rockstars came the way of mining mogul Anil Agarwal when he started revealing nuggets of his ascent from a scrap-metal dealer to one of India's most prominent self-made industrialists on social media. And now he has been flooded with booking writing proposals and has even been offered money for a biopic. In February this year, Agarwal, 68, started tweeting his journey from Bihar to Mumbai first and then to London to head a globally diversified natural resources company with interests in zinc-lead-silver, iron ore, steel, copper, aluminium, power, oil and gas.
