Business Maharajas is about these business personalities. Instead of concentrating on strategy and strategic decisions, Gita Piramal focuses on the personal experiences, aims, and visions of these important industrialists to expose how they think, how they conduct their businesses, and how they arrive at complex investment decisions involving billions of rupees.
These eight of India’s most powerful men, are a study in contrasts. Their businesses are distinct and varied. Some are highly educated; others are barely educated at all. Some inherited their empires, others are self-made. Some reached the top in their 30s; others did not even get started until their 50s. Some dominate a particular business, others control several industries. Yet what they do, what they think, and how they react impacts the entire economy. Between them, they control sales of roughly Rs 550 billion through more than 500 companies and directly employ at least 650,000 people. Whether an individual is turning on a light, sipping a cup of tea, shaving, listening to music, driving, seeing a movie, or sleeping, he or she is using one of their products.
