The family members of the city-born billionaire Rajesh Agrawal (39), appointed as London's Deputy Mayor for business, today said they were proud of his achievement.
"Relatives flocked to our house after the news came. This is a proud moment for us," Agrawal's elder brother Yogesh (44) told PTI.
Rajesh completed his schooling and college education in Indore and after working for a year, moved to London in 2001 where he started foreign exchange and money transfer business, Yogesh said.
Their mother, Krishnakanta, is a teacher at a private school. "The way our mother brought us up played a key role in Rajesh's success," he said.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who himself is Pakistan-origin, yesterday appointed Rajesh Agrawal as his deputy for business.
Agarwal's firm, RationalFX, had a turnover of over 1.3 billion pounds last year.
