Dnyaneshwar Chandrashekhar Agashe (IAST: Jñāneśvara Candraśekhara Āgāśe;[a] 17 April 1942 – 2 January 2009) was an Indian businessman, cricketer, cricket administrator and philanthropist. He is best remembered for founding the Suvarna Sahakari Bank in 1969, and the scandal following the bank's alleged scam case in 2008. He played first-class cricket for Maharashtra between 1962 and 1968, and served as managing director of the Brihan Maharashtra Sugar Syndicate from 1986 to 1996. He was twice elected vice president of Board of Control for Cricket in India, serving his second and final term from 1995 to 1999.
Between 1962 and 1968, Agashe played first-class cricket for the Maharashtra cricket team as a wicket-keeper-batsman, and scored two half-centuries in 13 matches.[18] He played his best season in 1964–65 where he made his career-best 75, took ten catches and made two stumpings,[21][22] and was credited for Maharashtra's victory against the Nari Contractor captained Gujarat cricket team in the 1964 season. His teammates at the time were Chandu Borde, Sadanand Mohol, and Hemant Kanitkar.[23] During the same season, he was a wicket-keeper for the Indian universities team against the Sri Lankan cricket team.[24]
Career in business and cricket administration: 1969–2006
Agashe's father had founded the Brihan Maharashtra Sugar Syndicate in 1934.[25] After his father's death in 1956, the syndicate was headed by S. L. Limaye as chairman of the board of directors of the company from 1959 till 1990,[26] while K. V. Champhekar took over as managing director of the company from 1957 to 1962,[27] followed by G. S. Valimbe from 1963 to 1969,[28] with Agashe joining the board of directors for the company in 1966,[29][30] and launching new branches of the factory near Akluj.[31] He also joined the Maharashtra Cricket Association in 1969.[2][32]
Beginning in 1969, Agashe founded the Suvarna Sahakari Bank in Pune for the banking purposes of mainly middle-class families.[3] In July 1970, Agashe and his brother became joint managing directos of the Brihan Maharashtra Sugar Syndicate.[28] Beginning in the 1970s, under Agashe and his brother, the syndicate manufactured liquor in Shreepur, Maharashtra,[33] specialising in whisky production under its several flagship brands.[34] During the Maharashtra drought of 1972, Agashe and his brother lent their water stream on their Mangdari estate to the Bhor district for the construction of a tap water system for the village.[35] In 1973, Agashe and his brother donated an exhibit named after their father to the Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum.[36][37][38] In 1977, Agashe and his brother aided Shivrampant Damle in founding the Chandrashekhar Agashe College of Physical Education in honour of their father.[39] In 1978, Agashe became the sole managing director of the Brihan Maharashtra Sugar Syndicate upon his brother's retirement from the office.[40][41]
By 1985, Agashe worked as a promoter for several cricket matches and tournaments within India,[42] as well as in the United Kingdom and the Middle East.[43] In January 1986, he interviewed S. L. Kirloskar for the Mahratta Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture.[44] He donated to the Maharashtra Vidya Mandal after his brother Panditrao's death in November 1986, after whom the Panditrao Agashe School was named.[45] He also founded the Chandrashekhar Agashe High School, Chandrashekhar Agashe Junior College and Indirabai Agashe High School on the family's estate in the town of Shreepur, Maharashtra.[2] In 1987, Agashe was part of the inquiry made by Shankarrao Chavan about Sharad Pawar's foreign assets.[46] That same year, during the 1987 Cricket World Cup, while serving as secretary for the Maharashtra Cricket Association, he predicted a low turn out for the match between Sri Lanka and England.[47] He served as chairman to Kolhapur Steel, after the syndicate had begun work in matal printing under his brother in the early 1980s. He started a unit in Canada for Taj Rum by the late 1980s. He diversified the syndicate into pharmaceuticals, power generation, publication (with Mandar Printing Press),[48] and real estate by the early 1990s.[2][49] In 1987, he was one of the managers for the Indian cricket team's tour of the United Kingdom.[50] In 1989, he was elected to the post of executive chairman for the Maharashtra Cricket Association.[2][51]
In 1990, Agashe took over as chairman of the board of directors for the syndicate upon the death of S. L. Limaye.[52] In 1991, he attended the International Cricket Council meeting as vice-president of the BCCI, putting forth India's proposal to not renew the veto rights which were enjoyed by Australia and England as founding members of the council, and further proposing India's opposition to South Africa's participation in the 1992 Cricket World Cup, along with India's request to host the 1996 Cricket World Cup.[53] In April 1992, he chaired the meeting, in his role as chairman of the junior committee, which finalised the programme for the England under-19 cricket team visiting India, and for the India national under-19 cricket team visiting South Africa that year.[54] In July of the year, some sources reported that Agashe, along with board secretary C Nagaraj, voted against India's bid for hosting, or Pakistan’s bid for co-hosting, the 1996 Cricket World Cup at that year's ICC annual meeting.[55] In August, it was announced that the BCCI had set up a panel, with Agashe as its chief, looking into hosting the 1995–1996 Cricket World Cup before submitting a formal bid in December of that same year.[56] In September of that same year, Agashe proposed several changes to the Ranji Trophy format for its points table, suggesting that the BCCI either follow the Australian system observed at the Sheffield Shield or to revert to the older format followed before the Ranji Trophy extended match durations to four days. He also suggested the removal of the bonus points during matches, recommending eight points be awarded outright for a win, dividing the number of runs scored by the number of oversbowled incase of a tie, and awarding no bonus points for batting or bowling, criticising that the bonus points system had not improved the quality of cricket in the league. He further suggested that the duration of matches be reduced to three days, and the matches be played on a limited overs basis, citing that the winners of the Ranji Trophy went on to play the Wills Trophy which followed the limited overs system. Agashe further stated that if his suggestions were implemented, other league trophies such as the Cooch Behar Trophy and Vijay Merchant Trophy would also need an update of their point systems.[57]
Agashe served a record seventh term as executive chairman of the Maharashtra Cricket Association, being elected in April 2003.[70] He was also a voting member of the Mumbai Cricket Association,[71] and served as the vice chair of the National Cricket Academy.[72][73] Amid factionalism disputes at the Maharashtra Cricket Association, a nine-member interim committee was formed in 2003; this committee was dissolved in 2004, and Agashe was reinstated as chairman of the association.[74] Later that same year, he was denied participation in the annual general meeting of the BCCI due to further alleged factional disputes by then BCCI President Jagmohan Dalmiya.[75] He was later denied his right to vote in the Board's elections that year by Dalmia,[76][77] which saw Sharad Pawar losing by one vote to the post of the BCCI's president.[78][79] Some sources at the time claimed Agashe's actions (delay to vote) may have been deliberate.[80][81] Agashe moved court countermanding the elections, alleging that the absence of his vote ensured an unfair victory to Dalmiya nominee Ranbir Singh Mahendra.[82][83][84] The Madras High Court stated a prima facie case against the elections,[85] with Agashe expressing satisfaction with the court's decision.[86] That same year, Agashe was elected the president of the Poona Youth Club.[87]
In 2005, the Maharashtra Cricket Association was gripped in a power struggle between Agashe and Ajay Shirke.[88] That year's Maharashtra Cricket Association election was in sight of a reformed regulation scheme recommendations between the two parties,[89] which was won by Shirke.[90] Agashe had served a record seventh term at the time of his ousting from the position.[91] Critics claimed that the court cases between the two parties were responsible for a lack luster cricketing season in Pune that year.[92]
In August 2006, Agashe served as president through the Poona Youth Club's liquor controversy,[93] resigning the presidency in September,[94] after his third year as president of the club.[95][96]
By 2006, the Suvarna Sahakari Bank started having financial troubles, with some sources alleging that the bank's failure was backlash for the controversial BCCI presidency elections of 2004.[71] In September of that same year, the cooperative bank was put under moratorium by the Reserve Bank of India.[97] In 2007, following the order of moratorium, many of the bank's depositors held demonstrations at Agashe's Aundh residence and threatened criminal actions against the Agashe family,[98] after which a speedy merger was promised by Agashe,[99] when Cosmos Bank planned to acquire the bank.[100] In May 2008, Agashe mortgaged personal property worth Rs. 200 crore in lieu of the recovery of the deposits worth Rs. 725 crore.[101] Hotel Ranjeet, a hotel owned by Agashe was auctioned off for the same reasons.[102]
On 22 November 2008, Agashe along with 14 other board members was taken into judicial custody;[103][3] the bank business was charged with a Rs. 436.74 crore scam allegation.[104] The arresting police stated that Agashe along with six others allegedly misused their rights and sanctioned loans mostly to firms owned by themselves and then defaulted the loans, thereby duping the depositors.[105] The judicial magistrate remanded Agashe and the 14 other suspects to police custody, with provisions of medical assistance if required, citing the senior citizenship of a majority of the accused.[106][107][108]
In December 2008, the economics offenses wing of the crime branch conducted a raid of Agashe's Aundh residence to recover Rs. 1.5 lakhs. The prosecution stated that upon discovery of the money, further interrogation of the accused was necessary and alleged that the accused had disbursed loans to people close to them by flouting RBI rules. In return, Agashe's defense counsel claimed that Agashe and his family had sold off various properties for the repayment of the loan. The defense counsel also stated that the Agashe family had extended full cooperation with the police and submitted that the family would repay another Rs. 80 crore after the issue of Suvarna's merger was settled. The defense also raised the issue of foul play, when the first information reporting of the allegations was not produced before the court three days after registering the case and further contended that the loans had been sanctioned by the bank's disbursement committee, a committee Agashe was not a member of.[104][109] The bail applications filed at the time for Agashe, his wife, and his sister were subsequently rejected.[110][111][112]
Death and legacy: 2009
While in judicial custody, Agashe's health deteriorated and he was admitted to Sassoon Hospital on 22 December 2009, suffering from severe diabetes and gangrene,[113] for which he had previously been denied medical assistance.[114][80] He died on 2 January 2009,[115][116] at the age of 66.[117] He died in the ICU from a heart attack while being treated for diabetic complications.[118] A condolence meet following Agashe's death was held at the Poona Youth Club,[119] at the Maharashtra Cricket Association,[120] and his family's residence in Shaniwar Peth.[121] Agashe's son Ashutosh succeeded him as chairman of the board of directors and as managing director of the Brihan Maharashtra Sugar Syndicate.[122]
The bank's case continued after Agashe's death, with the bank being dissolved and merged with the Indian Overseas Bank in May 2009.[97][123] In 2015, Agashe's son, Ashutosh, conceived the Dnyaneshwar Agashe Trophy as the highest award of merit at the Poona Youth Club's annual cricket tournament, the PYC Premier League, in honor of Agashe.[124] In his 2016 memoir, Madhav Apte remembered Agashe's business reputation fondly.[125]
