Gouri Sen

Gouri Sen, lived in the 17th century, earned enormous amounts of money from the family export-import business and was well known in business circles. He donated freely to repay debts of other people or to help those who were in trouble over payments to be made to the royal exchequer. This was the source of the Bengali saying  

laage taka debe gouri sen.
“If money is required Gouri Sen will give it”.
