Gaurav Ghei has been a pioneer of sorts for Indian golf. He became the first Indian to win on the Asian Tour — the Gadgil Western Masters in 1995. In 1997, he was also the first Indian to qualify for the Majors — the British Open in Scotland.
Ghei’s connection with Chennai, a city he loves for its golf and food, dates back to the 1980s, having taken part in the M.A.M. Muthiah Cup in Guindy in 1985-86. In fact, he has been an employee of India Cements from 1996.
“Even before that, Mr. N. Srinivasan (vice-chairman & managing director of India Cements) has been sponsoring me (from 1993). My association with India Cements is almost 30 years,” said Ghei.
