Default Saifee Durbar

From an interview with Saifee Durbar:

My grandfather is the last Maharaja. My father went into exile in
Pakistan after India won its independence in 1947, after which he
settled in Saudi Arabia. He made his fortune in textiles and finance.
But I made mine using my own means without the family money. I began
in London in 1986 with a job in a gas station. Afterwards, I became a
hairstylist, then I launched my own import/export company. I knew the
ropes. In 1999, I got interested in banking. I was a broker in real
estate operations. I effected the transactions of a lot of wealthy
Saudis. These are fields that I know almost innately.
