At the launch of the new weekly newspaper, ZEE Marathi Disha in Mumbai, Shri Sushilkumar Shinde speaks about the inspirational personality of Shri Subhash Chandra and expresses confidence about the newspaper’s ability to showcase quality and unbiased editorial content from across Maharashtra.
“Subhash Chandra is synonymous with innovation,” he says. Recounting his decades-old friendship with Subhash Chandra, Shinde says confidence was a hallmark of his life. He speaks about his journey from Haryana to Mumbai and becoming a successful person here.
“Subhahji inspires the youth by interacting with them every week. He discusses different subjects and gives confidence to the next generation that irrespective of the background, differences and socio-economic factors nothing should bring one down.”

He also recalls going to the launch of The Z Factor, Subhashji’s autobiography in Delhi. “In that book you can see how someone who started off in the rice business has constantly and consistently evolved.
