He was topper of Roorkee entrance exam and topper of his batch - Gold medallist. His father who was a Gandhian, man of high ideals living a frugal life. His wife was a Prof in Raj Univ. After marriage, he left Uptron to join Dyanora, on the strength of his electronics and TV background. Later, he moved to Jaipur and joined a Rajasthan Government undertaking from where he retired. Had a son working in Gulf and a grand daughter on whom he doted. Amitabh Bhaduri of the 1976 batch who was with Uptron in Lucknow after IIMA.
