Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story

By the fag end of the 70’s era, a middle-class boy from Ghatkopar finds his way into the stock market. He is Harshad Mehta. Aided by his friend, Bhushan, Harshad masters the art of jobbing. Backed by his aspirations, Harshad goes on to start his own trading account in partnership with his brother, Ashwin. Little do the brothers know what’s in store for them in the near future.

Harshad’s life goes for a toss when bankruptcy hits him hard coupled by his father’s demise. Although disturbed, Harshad does not give up but ventures into the consultancy business and sets up Growmore Consultancy. While his friend, Pranav Sheth finds him corporate clients, Bhushan is roped in to join the firm. Armed with the new economic policies by PM Rajiv Gandhi, Harshad’s fate sees a growth spurt in business. With growth, comes limelight. Is it for good or bad?
