A close friend of Goyal who was instrumental in helping him buy Sahara, says that he was less than impressed with the way Goyal handled the Sahara buy-out, backing out at one stage after giving his word.
Subroto Roy, for all that he may be famous or infamous for, emerged as the more dignified of the two.
Never once did he speak out openly in the media about what Goyal had done to him and his airline, although Jet's actions in that episode were certainly questionable.
A few years prior to that, Goyal was commonly believed to have led the lobbying against Tata getting into the civil aviation business — something for which Ratan Tata must now be very grateful!
