Sahara Group had built a huge empire
Born on June 10, 1948 in Araria, Bihar, Roy was counted among the great businessmen of India. He created a huge empire of Sahara Group in the country which extended to other sectors along with real estate. After reaching great heights in the business world, the Sahara chief also had to face legal challenges.
