Times Group chairperson Indu Jain died on Thursday night due to Covid-related complications, Indian Express reported. She was 84 years old and had been the company chairperson since 1999, after her husband Ashok Jain passed away.
My mother #InduJain believed that death is not something to be mourned but a soul changing clothes to start a new journey of exploration. She taught me to live on my own terms & in a state of constant bliss. As she attains Nirvana, I celebrate a truly remarkable spirit.
