We would like to re­flect up­on his life and ex­press our grat­i­tude to an ex­cep­tion­al man who gave every­thing to his com­pa­ny and his fam­i­ly.”

A re­al prac­ti­cal en­tre­pre­neur with ex­cep­tion­al in­tu­ition and work eth­ic, Mr. Bhag­wans­ingh has led the com­pa­nies to the paths of suc­cess, with un­sur­passed tal­ent and per­se­ver­ance. He did this while re­main­ing hum­ble, dis­creet and un­selfish.”
