Vedanta Chairman Anil Agarwal said that he had promised his 49-year-old son, Agnivesh, that 75% of whatever they would earn would go to society. "Today, I renew that promise and resolve to live an even simpler life," he wrote in a post announcing Agnivesh's demise due to cardiac arrest. Agarwal also said Agnivesh believed in building a self-reliant India.
