The Industrial Titan India Forgot | The Rise and Fall of The Empire Sir Rajen Mookerjee Built

Most people know the names Tata and Birla. But few have heard of Sir Rajen Mookerjee, one of the most successful and influential industrialists and engineers in Indian history. Why? Why his IISCO was nationalized while Tata’s TISCO was not? He helped build Victoria Memorial. He played a major role in the industrial ecosystem behind projects such as Howrah Bridge, Martin Railways, IISCO, Belur Math, Palta Water Works, and some of British India's most ambitious engineering works. He founded the giant steel plant IISCO. Discover: The origins of Martin & Co.
