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.

The wizards of the sunrise entertainment and tetephony sector: Sunil Bharati Mittal, Subhash Chandra and Rajeev Chandrasekhar … And many more
