Vistex CEO Sanjay Shah and the firm’s president, Vishwanath Raju Datla, were being lowered onto a stage in an iron cage designed to look like the gondola of a hot-air balloon when a cable appeared to snap, a video posted by The Times of India showed.
In the video, the two men can be seen falling out of the cage and plunging about 20 feet to the stage.
