Show Notes

Welcome to Cyrus Says!This conversation starts with a forgotten Indian entrepreneur who built three empires and ends with Cyrus touching elephant poop. We're not kidding.
Author Tejaswini Apte reveals the untold story of her great-grandfather Tatya Sahib, who went from a chawl in Girgaon to a sea-facing Peddar Road mansion by mastering textiles, producing 100+ silent films with Dadasaheb Phalke, and revolutionizing India's sugar industry.
Then she casually pulls out a children's book about animal feces with a bookmark made from actual elephant and rhino poop. Chaos ensues!
