More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
These are in-depth profiles of India's biggest business barons. These are the men who are powering the new India's leap into the 21st Century; the faces behind the great Indian success story. You'll find them all here - the traditional big names of Indian industry: Ratan Tata and Kumar Mangalam Birla. The new gurus of information technology: Nandan Nilekani and Azim Premji. The wizards of the sunrise entertainment and tetephony sector: Sunil Bharati Mittal, Subhash Chandra and Rajeev Chandrasekhar...and many more. Essential to the depth of these profiles is that all of the subjects sat down for hours to tell Vir Sanghvi about their hopes, their dreams and their heartbreaks. These are profiles based on fresh information, direct from the mouths of the men of steel themselves. Nobody who wants to understand the contours of the Indian success story can afford not to read his book. It is a highly readable insight into the new India.
About the Author
Vir Sanghvi is probably the best-known Indian journalist of his generation. He became founder-editor of Bombay magazine when he was 22 and his career has included editorships of Imprint, one of India's first feature magazines, of Sunday, then India's largest-selling weekly newsmagazine, and of the Hindustan Times, North India's biggest English-language daily. Sanghvi also has a parallel career as an award-winning TV interviewer and has hosted various successful shows on the Star TV network and on the NDTV news channel. Among his other accomplishments is his role as India's premier food writer. His book Rude Food won the Cointreau Award, the international food business's Oscar, for Best Food Literature Book in the world. He is the author (along with Rudrangshu Mukherjee) of India, Then and Now, also published by Roli Books.
