45 MFDs and 40 fund house representatives came together to organise and play a cricket tournament in remembrance of their deceased MFD friends, who lost their life to covid-19.
Munnavar Khan of Vision Invest Tech and Partho Chakraborty of Concept Advisory spearheaded this initiative. They pooled money to meet match-related expenses like ground rent, food and beverages.
The one-day tournament was held on September 10, 2022. Munnavar told Cafemutual that this was an initiative by Yaari Dosti Bhopal, a group of MFDs and MF officials in Bhopal.
Overall, 8 teams having 10 members each played this high on emotion tournament. Each match was played in the memory of:

“Our chief guests were deeply touched by the brotherhood in the MF industry and sought comfort in the joyful memories of the departed souls,”, said Munnavar.
