Beyond Pipes and Dreams - by Mrs. Leena Gandhi Tewari, an Inspirational Worth Reading Life Story of Vithal Balkrishna Gandhi


Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Tuesday, July 16, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- Beyond Pipes and Dreams by Mrs. Leena Gandhi Tewari - Many years ago (seven to be precise) I embarked on a journey to discover my roots and to pen down what I thought is the most significant 'chapter' in the history of my family. I completed this journey with the release of a biography titled "Beyond Pipes & Dreams-The Life of Vithal Balkrishna Gandhi on my grandfather who rose from poverty to beat the odds and emerge as a respected freedom fighter and a visionary leader.

He became a Member of Parliament in the early days of Independence. As a Congress MP under Jawaharlal Nehru, he was a key figure in the debates, which led to several laws, and practices Indians take for granted today. Among the many important positions he held in the 1950s, Mr. Gandhi was Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee and a Member of the Central Pay Commission. He worked closely with the great patriots of India's Independence movement and leaders of free India.

Vithal Gandhi was also a self-made businessman. He founded a pharmaceutical company USV Ltd which is a leader in diabetes and among the top 20 in the industry. I am proud to carry his values and vision forward as Chairperson of this company.

His story is woven with historic times of British rule, Independence and the building of our nation.

About the Author:

Leena Gandhi Tewari currently resides in Mumbai with her husband and two children. She received her MBA from Boston University and is the Chairperson of pharmaceutical company, USV Ltd. Born and raised in suburban Mumbai, she is an avid lover of animals and the spaces they inhabit. Her travels take her to forests all over country, and her fascination for reptiles never fails to surprise those she encounters. Having grown up in a family where strong women, a global outlook and progressive thinking have spanned three generations, she seeks to better understand the tradition in which the Gandhi family is steeped, and the Ratnagiri roots that began with her grandfather. As an avid reader who has written several articles in the past, it seemed only natural that this exploration become the focus of her first book.
