Produktbeschreibung
From a bullock-cart village in rural Bengal to the glass towers of Frankfurt, London, and eighty-seven countries in between, Money Man is the warm, witty, and deeply human memoir of a banker who spent forty-five years chasing dealsand finding people.

Hiren Singharay joined State Bank of India in 1972 as a nervous twenty-something who had never worn a suit. He retired in 2017 as a Managing Director at Standard Chartered, having worked on four continents, survived the near-collapse of a major American bank, mastered the art of the expense report, and learned that the hard way that a battered BMW with a 7-Series engine under the hood is probably Belgian undercover police.

These are not stories about money. They are stories about the people who move it, guard it, evade it, and occasionally spill drinks on it.

Readers follow Hiren from his first panicked flight (via midnight mail-plane swap in Nagpur) to closing multi-million-dollar syndications in Luxembourg cafés where elderly Germans in sports shoes quietly manage their tax affairs. Along the way he discovers free lunches at Citibank Strand, the secret power of discretion at The Ritz and Lord's Cricket Ground, the moment a Chicago war veteran and a German soldier he once took prisoner embraced across a Frankfurt wine bench thirty-nine years after Monte Cassino, and why a fourth-generation South African of Indian descent will cheer for Indiaunless they are playing South Africa.

With self-deprecating humour and gentle wisdom, Singharay charts the technological revolution that took banking from telex machines to Citimail to Zoom, the cultural collisions of an Indian in German, British, and American offices, and the small, unforgettable acts of kindness that turn strangers into lifelong friends. Above all, this is a love letter to a life spent in motion, written for his three children and for anyone who has ever wondered what really happens when a village boy steps onto the world stage wearing borrowed shoes.

Funny, poignant, and endlessly curious, Money Man proves that the best return on investment is always the stories you bring home.
