Roots & Rising: The House of Oberios

Arnav Oberio, 32, heir to the sprawling Oberio family business, is a man forged by responsibility and loss. Raised in a traditional joint family in Delhi, he stepped into the business world at just 18, shelving his Harvard dreams to rescue a crumbling legacy after the tragic death of his father and uncle. With grit, patience, and vision, Arnav rebuilt what others tried to ruin-emerging as the quiet force behind the Oberio name. Behind his stern demeanor lies a man deeply wounded by the past, yet fiercely protective of his loved ones-especially his late sister's son, Abinav, whom he raises as his own. Lakshmi Narayanan, 29, is a sharp, compassionate commerce professor from Tamil Nadu who teaches Accounts at Maple Leaf High School in Delhi. Lakshmi's world is built on values, simplicity, and purpose. Her calm nature hides a spirited will and sharp mind, shaped by academic excellence and a Past filled with emotional endurance. When Arnav and Lakshmi's worlds collide-one shaped by business and burden, the other by intellect and empathy-they find more than just contrast. In each other, they discover healing, challenge, and the possibility of love that transcends legacy, loss, and silence.
