In a letter, he wrote, “Karan, I am giving you an open offer with any terms of your choice, and I am looking at 50 to 70 per cent stake in Dharma, and you give me your number which according to you is reasonable, I commit they would not be a negotiation. We will do all cash deals in 48 hours, here in India or through FDI, from BVI.”
