Need for Mr Saraf to introspect - spread out your M&A matters to more partners (who have already established that theu can deliver, all that needs to happen is that you need to open your mind to them and firmly dismiss the conspiracy theorists "sir, ismein liability ho sakti hai firm ki").
I left because of this very issue - favouritism is not a substitute for sound business decisions. There is a toxic culture of type casting people professionally, much like Yogi who goes about renaming places to suit his perception.
