₹28 cr stock stuck, a stranger on a flight saved Dr. Viju Jacob

Dr Viju Jacob, an entrepreneur, recalled being stuck with ₹28 crore of marigold extract after a Mexican buyer went bankrupt. Flying home dejected, he sat beside a stranger, Anthony, who happened to be hunting worldwide for the exact same extract. Jacob sold him all 150 tonnes. ‘God made him sit next to me,’ he said, calling it destiny.
