Bhumitra’s journey from Indian boarding school to Palos Verdes prominence

Arun Bhumitra’s day begins at 4:30 a.m. at the Equinox gym on Silver Spur Road with 15 to 20 fellow, type A businessmen and businesswomen, among them Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems president Tom Vice.“When I was a young engineer at Northrop, the president was a god. And now I work out with him,” Bhumitra said, still marveling, at 66, at his good fortune.
