No parent should ever have to write these words. Anil Agarwal, Vedanta Group Chairman, called it "the darkest day of my life" after losing his eldest son, Agnivesh Agarwal (49), to sudden cardiac arrest in New York. Agnivesh - Mayo College, US-educated, low-profile operator wasn’t the flashy heir you’d expect from a ₹2 lakh crore empire. Instead: -> Set up Fujairah Gold in UAE -> Chaired Hindustan Zinc (Vedanta’s cash cow) -> Board of Talwandi Sabo Power (Punjab’s largest private thermal plant) He gained global exposure first, skipped the easy path into daddy’s company, then strengthened the family’s core businesses while staying out of headlines and social media. Skiing accident → Mount Sinai recovery → believed the worst was behind them → fate had other plans. PM Modi: “Deeply heartbreaking.” Anil Agarwal: “A son is not meant to leave before his father.” Some lessons hit harder when they’re personal: The most impactful heirs don’t need spotlights. They build quietly where it matters most. And no amount of success prepares you for this kind of loss. Heart goes out to the Agarwal family. ~Rohit Raj
