Industry leaders, public figures and family members gathered in Mumbai last week for the unveiling of Heero, a book chronicling the life and values of Shri Arunkumar Ramniklal Mehta, founder of the Rosy Blue Group. Hosted by Smt. Rajnika Arun Mehta and the Mehta family, the book was unveiled by Shri Sharad Pawar, former Chief Minister of Maharashtra, in the presence of Shri Mukesh D. Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries.
Drawn from over four decades of Shri Mehta’s handwritten Gujarati journals, Heero departs from the conventional business biography. It reflects on leadership shaped by restraint, ethics and long-term thinking. The Gujarati edition is authored by Chirantana Bhatt and the English edition edited by Salil Tripathi, based on interviews with more than 150 individuals.
Family members — including Mrs. Amita Mehta, Mrs. Mona Mehta, and Mr. Dilip Mehta — shared deeply personal reflections that revealed the human core behind the public figure.
Curated over five years by Mr. Russell Mehta, the book also highlights Shri Arunkumar Mehta’s role as a philanthropist and an institution builder, including his contribution to the Bharat Diamond Bourse. Released through private circulation, Heero positions his life as a guide for ethical decision-making beyond business.
