From beginning his career as a small trader in Delhi to building Havells, one of India s largest electrical goods company, Qimat Rai Gupta s story makes for an inspiring read. Told rivetingly by his son, Anil Rai Gupta, this is the account of how QRG, as he was fondly known, braved poverty, ill health, competition, corruption and bureaucracy to turn his dreams into reality. During his last years, Havells acquired German giant Sylvania which was twice its size. When Sylvania s losses pushed Havells to the brink, QRG fearlessly decided to keep the company nonetheless. It was under his tutelage that Anil Rai Gupta, present chairman of Havells, turned Sylvania around. QRG s life is proof of the adage Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.
