His son, Puneet Nanda, wrote on Facebook, “He couldn’t have had a sweeter life or passage, at the feet of the Master. We are sad a bit, mainly rejoicing him, his life and now his passing with such a blessing.”
Satya Paul’s journey began from the hardships of Partition, finding out from his personal initiatives and constantly acknowledging the abundance and wonder of life. His inquisitive nature led him to be a pioneer in the field of retail beginning in the late 60’s, and expanding to exports of the finest Indian handloom solutions to higher finish retail shops in Europe and America. In 1980, he launched the very first ‘saree boutique’ in India, L’Affaire, and in 1986, India’s very first designer label with his son Puneet. The Satya Paul brand became one particular of the premier brands of the nation. He passed on the mantle to his son in 2000, and they later exited the business in 2010.
