Anil Agarwal’s son Agnivesh dies at 49 after cardiac arrest, tributes pour in

Agnivesh, who was on the board of Vedanta group firm Talwandi Sabo Power Limited (TSPL), had suffered injuries in a skiing accident in the US and was recovering at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. Despite doctors’ efforts and encouraging signs of recovery, he died after a sudden cardiac arrest.

In an emotional post on X, Anil Agarwal said it was “the darkest day” of his life. “We believed the worst was behind us. But fate had other plans, and a sudden cardiac arrest snatched our son away from us,” he wrote, adding that no parent is prepared for such a loss. “This loss has shattered us in ways we are still trying to comprehend,” he said.

Condolence messages from political and industry leaders began flooding social media soon after the announcement.
