I reached there and then Mr Tata came in his silver car. He then called me and asked what do I think about the car, what do you think abou the colour. He pointed to the corner of the car and asked do you think this will be noticed? He then spoke to two engineers and then left.

We seven persons founded our company, Bombay Hemp Company, working with a plant called cannabis to make medicines and textiles from it.

During that time, we co-founders met Ratan Tata co-incidently at an event in 2015-16 where Mr Tata was the speaker.”

But when he came out and we started pitching our idea, it turned out he knew so much about hemp and cannabis and their applications. He said he would love to talk more about it. He just pulled out his business card and said why don’t you reach out to my office? Then we got a 30-minute meeting with him, which stretched to 2 hours, which was unbelievable. We got his investment and it got us a boost,” Kotak stated.

Responsibility and honesty are both points everyone need to gain from him.
