Tamal bandyopadhyay biography of rory As one begins reading the book, it becomes apparent that Tamal Bandyopadhyay , a career journalist, not only has done meticulous research to write the book — including interviews with several of the key players including Subrata Roy himself — but also manages to write about Sahara and the RBFC Residual Banking Finance Company sector with a steady journalistic hand. Bandyopadhyay leads one through the complex maze that Sahara was, is and has become — a gigantic conglomerate encompassing entities — all of whom have been seemingly created with the sole purpose of dodging one regulator or the other. What reminded me most of Michael Lewis was the almost painstaking detail with which Bandyopadhyay painted all of the central and some of the peripheral characters; he even went ahead and devoted a whole section of the book to describing the lives, careers and character quirks of the various officials belonging to the SEBI , RBI , Supreme Court , Sahara, Peerless another Residual Banking Finance Company like Sahara , etc. What slows the book down somewhat is poor editing; in fact in places, the book almost reads like a thesis submission. There are pieces that are repeated thrice in the book and some sections are completely unnecessary.He is also a senior adviser to Jana Small Finance Bank[6] Before this stint, he was an adviser at Bandhan Bank from August
Bandyopadhyay has been writing his weekly column Banker's Trust since February Between April and November , he ran a episode series on Bloomberg India TV, also called Banker's Trust, where senior central bankers, commercial bankers, and economists were interviewed every week.[citation needed]
