SocraticGadfly: Meet India’s richest man

Meet India’s richest man

In the coming years and decades, I think we’ll be hearing more and more about Mukesh Ambani and Reliance Industries. (Any man building a “house” worth as much as $70 million is rich by any definition.)

In fact, as the West finally comes to terms with the limits of Chinese growth, because of environmental and political grounds, we’re going to be hearing more and more about Indian entrepreneurs in general.

And, I hope the mainstream media does a better job of all the complexity of India than some Chinese business coverage has been.

Speaking of that, Ambani seems to be focusing on the idea of doing some sort of business judo on India’s own weak spots in a way that you just don’t hear coming out of China.
