If there’s one trait that embodies late visionary chairman of Elder Pharma Jagdish Saxena, it’s perhaps the man’s mettle. The first public hint of that came in 1987 when Saxena was at the top of his career. In 27 years he had gone from a commissioned officer in the Indian Air Force to managing director of Dehli-based pharmaceutical Waltner Bushnell. That’s when his management dropped a bomb on him. They wanted to shutter some plants and unload 300 employees. He would have none of it. He took the 300 people who were about to lose their jobs and started Elder Pharma.
The accidental entrepreneur whose style of leadership in driving business is still deep in my thought process, as a human being, he was loved by all, by his employees & those who came to meet him for business. I have reasons to believe that truly an era of human touch leadership ended though both Anuj & Alok are very lovable & capable. Jagdish Saxena was a man whom you could count in difficult times.
