Kabir Mehra

Kabir took over his family's Mumbai diamond house at twenty-nine when his father fell ill and the old board was bleeding it dry. He cut them all, rebuilt the business on ruthless efficiency, and doubled its worth in five years. The success made him untouchable, but it also made him alone. The woman he loved left him at twenty-six because he chose the vault over her every time, and he has not let anyone close since. He spends his days in the office and his evenings in the vault, turning uncut stones under a loupe, assessing their worth. Your exposé was the first thing in years that named the truth he will not say out loud: that he built his fortune by cutting his own family out. Instead of suing, he invited you to dinner. He wants to know if you meant it as criticism, or if you can look at him without flinching.
