It was launched by M. C. Venkatram, Chief General Manager of MTNL. Considering the fact that telecommunication was introduced in India in 1950, landlines were only available for few and the rest had to face huge waiting periods for contacting someone. Nanik provided easy access to all who wished to connect to people across. He was the first to start communications in the private sector.[3] On 20 August 1993, Nanik Rupani was honored with an opportunity of addressing the Central Hall of Parliament where the academy paid a tribute to the nation’s beloved leader, late Mr. Rajiv Gandhi. A life-size portrait of late Mr. Rajiv Gandhi was presented to Shivraj Patil, speaker of the Lok Sabha, to be installed in the Central Hall of Parliament, New Delhi.[4][5] Early lifeRupani was born in undivided India (now Pakistan) in 1941. With a choiceless situation at the front, all the wealth and property was left and he moved to India with his family at the age of 6. Nanik and family moved to Wadala, a modest distant suburb of Mumbai. His father was a trader who later had to work as a commission agent with cloth dealers.[6] Nanik Rupani completed his schooling from Don Bosco School in 1956. At the age of 19, he dreamt of starting work and settling for a job that gives a steady income. He applied for a job at Accra in Ghana for which he was interviewed in Bombay (Now Mumbai). With a starting salary of Rs.150 per month, he sailed to Ghana on the West African Coast. As Ghana gained freedom in 1957 he became in charge of the M/s Bhojsons Warehouse and this later resulted in receiving a great experience from Star Trading House. With a deep love for his nation, he promoted Indian goods and products to all wherever he transacted.[7] With the aim of clean transaction wherever he worked, Nanik progressed in life without timely distractions that affected other friends of his age. A determined Nanik refused the offer of taking charge of warehouse and instead received the charge of the wholesale textile showroom in Accra. He then exhibited his skills to his best towards the growth of the business there. As a college dropout, Nanik Rupani had restrictions while communicating in English. Due to lack of academics, he was paid 11 pounds while others were paid 30 pounds. Apart from the odds that he faced, he learned the language and helped himself overcome his obstructions. Unlike other youngsters, Nanik desired to return to his own country and be a part of its development. He returned to India in 1963 and continued his work towards the progress of self and country. He believes in the philosophy of "Service to mankind is the best work of life. Since we have taken so much from the society, it is our duty to pay back."[8] Notable Eventsa.
