Remembering Hon. Jugonnath (Nana) Sunkersett
On his death anniversary, we pay tribute to one of Mumbai's greatest visionaries, a philanthropist, educationist, social reformer, and nation-builder whose contributions helped lay the foundation of modern Mumbai.
His vision extended far beyond his time:
- Founded India's first railway between Bori Bunder and Thane in 1853.
- Championed education for all, including women's education.
- Served as the first Indian member of the Bombay Legislative Council.
- Supported institutions that advanced education, culture, and public life.
More than 160 years later, his values of progress, integrity, and nation-building continue to inspire generations.
At Sunkersett Investment Intermediaries LLP, we are proud to carry forward a legacy rooted in trust, long-term thinking, and creating enduring value.
We remember Hon. Jugonnath (Nana) Sunkersett with deep respect and gratitude for his extraordinary contribution to society.
