Meet man, was once richer than Mukesh Ambani, Adani, Ratan Tata, built empire worth Rs 94780000000, then lost all his money, now lives in rented home, name is... Vijaypat Singhania was once wealthier than Mukesh Ambani, Gautam Adani, and even Ratan Tata. He built an empire and lived a life of power and prestige but today, at 86, he lives alone in a rented apartment, with no fortune left to his name. Vijaypat took charge of the Raymond Group in 1980 and transformed it into a fashion giant. Under his leadership, Raymond grew from small tailoring shops into a global brand, becoming one of India's most trusted names in men's clothing. The company now has a market cap of Rs 9478 crore. Born into the wealthy Singhania family, Vijaypat did not just rely on his inheritance, he worked tirelessly to grow the business, earning respect at home and abroad. Known for his discipline, humility, and sharp business mind, he became a respected figure in both industry and public life. He tried to divide his assets between his two sons, Madhupati and Gautam. Madhupati chose to settle in Singapore, away from the business. In 2015, Vijaypat handed over his 37 per cent stake in Raymond to his younger son, Gautam Singhania. What followed was unexpected. His relationship with Gautam broke down, leading to bitter legal disputes. In a turn of events, Vijaypat was forced to leave the family home and was cut off from the empire he had built. In 2017, Vijaypat claimed that Raymond Ltd didn't give him a duplex in the family-owned JK House in Mumbai. The relationship between the father-son further soured and in 2018, the senior Singhania was also removed as Raymond's chairman emeritus. Now, the man who once led a billion-dollar company lives a simple and quiet life in a small rented flat. Outside of business, Vijaypat is a decorated aviator, inspired by J.R.D. Tata. He has received the Padma Bhushan (2006), served as Sheriff of Mumbai, won the Tenzing Norgay National Adventure Award, and holds the title of Honorary Air Commodore in the Indian Air Force. Though he lost his wealth, Vijaypat's achievements and values remain. He built a global brand, inspired many, and faced his downfall with dignity.

The company is planning to bolster its nationwide network. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) on Thursday informed that the Rs 47,000 crore capital expenditure (capex) investment will focus on strengthening and upgrading 4G and 5G capabilities, modernising transmission systems, and enhancing the quality of service in urban and rural regions. Along with this, the state-owned telecom company is also offering a Freedom Offer to its users at a price of just Rs 1. Notably, BSNL gained popularity by offering pocket-friendly prepaid plans when private players hiked their tariffs last year. With this strategy**,** BSNL succeeded in gaining users from Jio and Airtel. 'With a record Rs 25,000 crore capex last year and a fresh Rs 47,000 crore plan in place, India's telecom growth story is getting stronger,' the DoT said on X. BSNL To Boost 4G And 5G Networks Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia stated that BSNL is working on its commitment to set up country-designed 4G infrastructure under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative. Last year, the company completed the highest capital expenditure of Rs 25,000 crore. Now, it is planning to roll out one lakh 4G towers across the country by investing Rs 47,000 crore. This will provide better connectivity to BSNL users. BSNL is using indigenous technology for upgrading its network, the minister told ETTelecom, emphasising that India is one of the few countries that has its own telecom system. Scindia added that this step of BSNL will provide better coverage in rural and remote areas. BSNL's Freedom Offer On the occasion of Independence Day, the state-owned company BSNL has introduced a powerful Freedom Offer for its new customers. It has introduced Rs 1 plan. In the Rs 1 plan, users are being offered unlimited calling, 2GB 4G data per day and 100 SMS per day. Notably, internet speed will be reduced to 40 kbps after the daily limit is reached. BSNL is providing users with a complimentary SIM card as part of its promotion. This offer will be valid until August 31, 2025, and can be obtained at BSNL retail locations and Common Service Centers (CSC).
