One day Alok Mukhopadhyay, then head of OXFAM and one of the founding members of NEM, noticed a Sikh gentleman who arrived every morning with his wife to hand over relief material. The two struck up a conversation and as the Sikh couple readied to take leave, Alok asked the man his name. ‘My name is Manmohan Singh. I work as the Governor of Reserve Bank of India,’ said he and walked away.
