Shroff & Co., run by two of the brightest minds in Indian law, Shardul and Cyril Shroff. It is easily the No. 1 choice of corporate India when it comes to legal affairs. But like all successful family firms, Amarchand too faces issues like sibling rivalry and the need to professionalise operations. The brothers embark on an all-new approach to take the firm to the 21st Century.

Quotable Quotes from the Cover Story:
“Generally the worst problems happen to me when I go (to tournaments) blissfully unaware of everything. When everything is going right then you should feel worried because it is perhaps a sign” Vishwanathan Anand, World Champion and Grandmaster
You can’t fool yourself. If you don’t have self belief, then you could have the best preparation in the world, but there will always come a moment when you hesitate, you make the second best move, you make a move where the risk is lower and you slowly lose space. Vishwanathan Anand, World Champion and Grandmaster
