A promise kept: Ex-army officer recalls Ratan Tata's generosity
MUMBAI: As a young army officer posted at the Maharashtra and Gujarat Area headquarters in 1992, Col Vinayak Supekar (Retd) often used to meet Ratan Tata at the United Services Club in Mumbai's Colaba area on the latter’s walks.
The former army officer is crestfallen that he will no longer hear that familiar voice calling him “Hi Captain”. He was then a Captain, posted as the aide-de-camp (ADC) to the then General Officer Commanding of M&G Area, Major General B G Shivley.
“Vijay Bisht, son of my then colleague in M&G Area HQ Lt Col B S Bisht had sustained severe leg injuries after falling from a horse and I came to know that he was looking for a job,” Col Supekar said.
