It may well be seen as a last-ditch attempt to save his business. In June, soon after the government began easing the nationwide restrictions imposed in late March to control the spread of the pandemic, Anil Ambani began turning up for work at his office near Mumbai airport.

Reader’s quotes
What our reader’s love about TMC.
Research ideas don't come from a vacuum. The best ideas come from a spark, a contrarian take, an uncommon investigative insight, and one doesn't always get these from traditional media.
