Richard Branson, the high-flying Virgin Atlantic group boss, airdashed to Mumbai for the launch of his airline’s Mumbai-London route. Formalities done with, the 55-year-old, London-based entrepreneur took to the streets to woo and wow the metropolis. His finger firmly on the pulse of the local market, the jet-setting head honcho hobnobbed with the city’s famous dabbawallahs, sat in a local train, rode a horse-drawn buggy and even wielded the willow at a friendly afternoon cricket match. Our photographer snapped him putting on his gloves, preparing for a long innings in India!
