Angel investor Jayesh parekh believes in making investments that not only yield monetary returns but uplift society too.
When the satellite industry in India was booming in the early 2000s, Jayesh Parekh added to the excitement by launching Sony Entertainment Television in collaboration with Sony Pictures taking on Rupert Murdoch’s Star group of channels. Two international media congloromates were clashing to grab a share of the lucrative Indian market.
