Guide, Mentor, Retail Guru and a Great Leader passes away

10th April 2011 dawned with the shocking and sad demise of Shri Raghu Pillai. A Retail veteran who has been one of the founding fathers of Indian Corporate Retail, he was also a Great Leader, Guide, Mentor, Advisor, Confidante, etc., etc., to so many people.

To say that he leaves behind a huge vacuum in the hearts of all those who have interacted with him is a gross understatement. 

The hope is that the stories of his presence and interactions with many people will continue to inspire and guide people for years to come and of course be a great memory of that great, yet simple man. 

May his presence continue to guide, inspire, motivate and mentor others.
