Love Lost in the Boardroom

Arjun Joseph, the charismatic and enigmatic Chairman of Joseph and Thomas Industries, is a man of many contrasts. To the outside world, he is known for his cold-hearted demeanour, a trait that has served him well in the high-stakes corporate arena. Yet, beneath this steely exterior lies a heart that beats fervently for Jhanani Thomas, his cousin and the object of his deepest affection. Jhanani, a brilliant and ambitious young woman, has recently completed her MTech at IIT Madras and is on the lookout for a job that matches her formidable skills and aspirations.
Despite the familial bond that ties them and the cultural acceptance of their potential union under Tamilian customs, Arjun's desire is not just to fulfil the demeanour of a family obligation. He yearns for Jhanani to choose him out of genuine love and mutual respect, rather than as a mere act of compliance to their parents' wishes. This desire is a testament to the complexity of his character; a man who, while ruthless in business, harbors a profound and tender longing for a love that is freely given and deeply felt.
Jhanani, on the other hand, is a woman of intellect and independence, qualities that Arjun admires deeply. Her journey from IIT Madras to the professional world is marked by her determination to carve out a space for herself, free from the shadows of familial expectations. As Arjun grapples with his feelings and the best way to win her heart, he must navigate the delicate balance between his ambitions and his love for Jhanani. Their story is one of contrasts and convergence, where the cold-hearted businessman and the spirited engineer must find a way to bridge their worlds for a future filled with mutual love and respect.

***This is not solely a love story, but the healing of weakened sibling relationships.
