A New Star Is Born
Today’s edition of Business Standard reports of Prashant Singh, a former investment banker with HSBC in UK and Fidelity Investments in Boston, who has created a fictional character, Ballay Shera.Described by Prashant Singh as both “an Indian superhero” as well as an “Indian Harry Porter”, Ballay Shera hits stores this weekend. Singh is hoping readers will be able to relate to a hero from their own milieu.
Ballay Shera’s magical powers come from a ring which has two stones, one of which turns the superhero into a humorous character, the other into a strong one.
The 18-year-old Sikh hero hails from a small village in Punjab.
