Jamshetji Jeejeebhoy, institution builder
No Indian family has so many institutions named after him in Mumbai as Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy. Not even David Sassoon on whom I have done a podcast earlier. He was the wealthiest man in Bombay (currently Mumbai) till Sassoon overtook him. But he is better remembered. Note: Jeejeebhoy was awarded the Baronet in 1857. The wrong year has been inadvertently mentioned in the podcast.
