Synopsis

Vikas Pota has unparalled access to the elite of the Indian business world and presents the Top 10 of India's global business leaders. Some like Tata and Reliance are well known across the world but revealed here in an entirely new way. The book also explores other important Indian business leaders like Baba N. Kalyani of Bharat Forge whose dominance of the motor manufacture industry means that almost every car in the world carries Bharat Forge parts; Malvinder Mohan Singh, CEO of Ranbaxy Laboratories whose $1.7 billion turnover makes it the only Indian company among the top 10 pharmaceutical giants of the world and Shiv Nadar, founder of HCL, who has spend the last three decades carving out world dominance in the IT industry, building an empire now worth over $4 billion.

Is India going to reach its potential, which its incredible demographics offer the nation? In much of our BRICs analysis out to 2050, the outlook for India seems potentially the most exciting of these emerging giants. But if India is going to get there, it is going to have to boost its produc- tivity significantly along the way. India Inc. examines the key players that are shaping the India of tomorrow; these are the people that will lead the country into a new future, both in terms of what they are doing now and through the examples they set as role models. (Jim O’Neill, Head of Global Economic Research, Goldman Sachs & author of The BRICs Report)

One of the important trends of the first decade of the 21st century is the presence of Indian companies on the world stage. As the geo- economic weight shifts to Asia in this new century, after more than two centuries of Euro-American domination, we need to better understand the implication of the presence of Asian business leaders in the global arena. India Inc. will play an important role in providing a nuanced under- standing of India’s role in this globally shifting economic environment. (Vishakha N. Desai, President and CEO, Asia Society, US)
