Today the CEO of Bunnik LLC, he was once a young employee at Unilever London who was left scrambling to get home to Delhi after receiving the news of his father’s sudden death. An Indian-American CEO has remembered with gratitude the time his former boss bought him a business class ticket so he could fly home after his father’s death. Sanjay Khosla, a corporate leader with five decades of experience, started his career with Unilever.
Khosla worked at Unilever for 27 years, leaving in 2004 to join Fonterra. It has been more than two decades since he left Unilever, but he still remembers the act of kindness that allowed him to fly home after his father’s death.

Thirty minutes later, the phone rang. It was Khosla’s boss calling to tell him: “There is a business-class ticket from London to Delhi waiting for you at the British Airways counter at Heathrow. Everything has been taken care of. Go be with your family.”
