(Anil, keep moving; doors will open on their own)' It wasn't easy, but unki blessings se I kept moving forward (It wasn't easy, but through her blessings I kept moving forward). It was with these words and with maa's blessings I started all over again. That's how Vedanta was born, a company named after my mother Vedvati Agarwal. It is a tribute to her strength and wisdom. Happy Mother's Day!" wrote Anil Agarwal in the post. (Also Read: On Mother’s Day, Deepinder Goyal invites moms of Zomato employees to office. Watch)
