The Big Bull is the story of Hemant Shah, a stockbroker, who in the early ’90s had the country’s future in the palm of his hand. Every move of the ‘Big Bull,’ as he was called, tipped the scales of the Indian economy. Coming from a very humble background, he rose faster like no other Indian. By 1992, he was India’s highest tax-payer with an advance tax of 26 crores.
